The need to adapt to the demands of global supply chains in
real-time is of significant importance to the future success of
continuous process industries. Amongst such business drivers, it
will become critical that process plants are designed to be easily
reconfigured as and when necessary. Recent developments in process
control have attempted to address this requirement, yet there has
not been a systematic effort made on the analysis of the
fundamental shortcomings in the modularity of process control
systems.
A Distributed Coordination Approach to Reconfigurable Process
Control presents research that addresses this critical question,
via developing a new distributed framework that will enable the
building of a process control system that is capable of
reconfigurability. This framework views the process as a set of
readily-integrated, modular process elements, which operate
relatively independently and are each supported by a degree of
stand-alone decision-making capability. The rationale and benefits
of moving towards the new approach is demonstrated by means of a
worked example of a real process plant.
A Distributed Coordination Approach to Reconfigurable Process
Control will be a useful reference to both academic and industrial
practitioners working in the field of design and integration of
process control systems. The new architectural dimension presented
in this research will also help end-users to gain an understanding
of the economic aspects of material flows across their plants, and
the ways in which their processes can be integrated across the
enterprise.
