From this point onwards, the water temperature in the tank continues to fall until, at point D (59°C), the thermostat tells the valve to open.

Steam is admitted through the coil but again, reaching its trough of undershoot at point E.

The difference between the peak and the trough is known as the operating differential.

The switching differential of the thermostat depends on the type of thermostat used.

FAN CONTROLLING SCHEME OF TRANSFORMER
COOLING SYSTEM.

When transformer runs with such a load, the temperature of the electrical power transformer rises beyond the preset value .

As the cooling fans run, the forced air decreases the temperature of the transformer.

When the temperature (process variable) comes down below a preset value, the control switch of fans trip and fans stop supplying forced air to the transformer.

Again when during rising, the temperature crosses the preset value, the fans again start rotating to cool down the transformer.

Rather than using a relay, we present an alternative ratio control
architecture based on a flow fraction controller (FFC).

The FFC is essentially a “pure” ratio controller in that it receives

the wild feed and controlled feed signals directly as inputs.

A ratio set point value is entered into the FCC, along with tuning
parameters and other values required for any controller implementation.

CASCADE
CONTROL
NAME : VIMALAN RAVICHANDRAN

CASCADE CONTROL BLOCK DIAGRAM
INTRODUCTION
The simplest cascade control scheme involves two control loops that use two measurement
signals to control one primary variable.

In such a control system, the output of the primary controller determines the set point for
the secondary controller.

The output of the secondary controller is used to adjust the control variable.

Generally, the secondary controller changes quickly while the primary controller changes
slowly.

Once cascade control is implemented, disturbances from rapid changes of the secondary
controller will not affect the primary controller. [ Extracted from : Wikipedia ]
In a double loop cascade system, the action of the secondary loop
on the process should be faster than that of the primary loop.
This ensures that the changes made by the primary output will be
reflected quickly in the process and observed when the primary
control variable is next measured.

Setpoint - temperature desired for the water in the tank

Primary controller (master) - measures water temperature in the tank and asks the secondary controller for more or less
heat
Secondary controller (slave) - measures and maintains steam flow rate directly

Actuator - steam flow valve

Secondary process - steam in the supply line

Inner loop disturbances - fluctuations in steam supply pressure

Primary process - water in the tank

Outer loop disturbances - fluctuations in the tank temperature due to uncontrolled ambient conditions, especially
fluctuations in the inflow temperature
Secondary process variable - steam flow rate

Primary process variable - tank water temperature

In the water heater example, the tank temperature controller would be primary since it defines the
setpoint that the steam flow controller is required to achieve. The water in the tank, the tank
temperature, the steam, and the steam flow rate would be the primary process, the primary process
variable, the secondary process, and the secondary process variable, respectively (refer to the
Cascade Control Block Diagram). The valve that the steam flow controller uses to maintain the
steam flow rate serves as the actuator which acts directly on the secondary process and indirectly
on the primary process.[ Extracted from : controleng.com ]
