5.0 out of 5 stars An introductory text to adaptive control, July 10, 2006

By 

David De Sousa "The Automation and Control Guy" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Adaptive Control (An Independent Learning Module from the Instrument Society of America) (Hardcover)

This book is part of ISA's (formerly "The Instrument Society of America", later "The International Society for Measurement and Control" and now known as "The Instrument, Systems and Automation Society") Independent Learning Modules on Control Principles and Techniques.

This Independent Learning Module Book is designed to introduce the reader to the techniques of adaptive control that are applicable to industrial process control problems. Although it is written from a practical rather than a theoretical point of view, the material is organized in each unit in a logical sequence so that you can easily see the reasons for the techniques that are presented.

Since adaptive control is an advanced control topic, it is assumed in the book that the reader has basic knowledge of automatic control. Mathematical treatment is minimized whenever possible since this is meant to be an introductory text for an industrial audience and the emphasis is on the principles, properties, merits, and limitations of the various practical adaptive control techniques.

The bok is organized as follows:
- Introduction and overview.
- What is adaptive control?
- Strcture of a self-tuning controller.
- Relay feedback auto-tuning for PID controllers.
- Techniques for self-tuning PID controllers.
- Adaptive Smith Predictor Control.
- On-line discrete process parameter estimation.
- Adaptive advanced control.
- Adaptive multivariable control.
- Towards intelligent control.
APPENDICES:
- Sugested readings and study materials.
- Solutions to all exercises.
- Detals of the implementation of the recursive least-square estimator.

I am an Industrial Practitioner of Process Control. I have been working for more than 16 years as an Instrumentation, Automation, and Process Safety and Control Engineer for the Oil & Gas Industry. I have found this book to be a great self learning tool and a good refresher.
