On my first project as a combustion control engineer, I was responsible for loop checks and for watching the experts tune the system controls. The first loop I tried to tune solo was the drum level ...

The International Society of Automation (ISA) announces that the newly released third edition of its Tuning of Industrial Control Systems book simplifies modern control system tuning by eliminating ...

With the ever-increasing complexity of today’s printed circuit boards, the many voltages required to properly power all the integrated circuit loads are now managed by a range of point of load (POL) ...

Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...

Model Predictive Control (MPC) has emerged as a versatile and robust strategy in modern control engineering, enabling controllers to predict future system behaviour and optimise performance over a ...

Perhaps the most difficult control problem for a drive servo is that of going down a ramp. Any back drivable drive servo will exhibit a freewheeling velocity on a given ramp. This is the speed at ...

NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report by the NGO Energy Vision finds advanced landfill tech" (ALT) for controlling landfill methane is among the lowest-cost greenhouse gas cutting ...

[QRP Gaijin] likes to build regenerative receivers. If you’ve ever built a serious one, you know there are (at least) two problems: One is you need a variable capacitor (hard to find these days). The ...

Boilers have enormous thermal mass and are relatively slow to react. Turbines are nimble and quickly answer an operator’s command. Coordinating an entire plant requires an intimate knowledge of both ...
