Performance Management for Optimum
Benefit

Terrence L. Blevins, Gregory K. McMillan, Willy K. Wojsznis, and Michael W. Brown

Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this soon-to-be classic provides the basis for assessing the benefits of advanced control. It covers auto-tuning, model predictive control, optimization, estimators, neural networks, fuzzy control, simulators, expert systems, diagnostics, and performance assessment. As an added bonus, the book includes a CD-ROM that provides real DeltaV simulations and displays. Configuration and case files are supplied for a hands-on experience, and PowerPoint files suitable for lectures on each unit are also included.
