13294 - Control Technology for Processes and Networks Modulübersicht

Module Number: 13294
Module Title:Control Technology for Processes and Networks
  Leittechnik für Prozesse und Netze
Department: Faculty 3 - Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Energy Systems
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr.-Ing. Schiffer, Johannes
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every winter semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:The students get some advanced knowledge about applications, tasks and technical equipment of Process Control Systems (PCS) and Network Control Systems (NCS) with the focus on power grids.

The students are able to describe concentrated and distributed systems of process and network control technology and to project and configure them for an application. Tasks from the process and automation level up to the operating and visualization level are included. This requires the application of interdisciplinary knowledge.

In theoretical and practical exercises, the students are enabled to solve detailed tasks of signal and information processing and visualization. The exercises promote both, independent work in preparation and jointly exchange in technical discussions.
Contents:Terms and definitions for modern control systems and the primary processes (with the focus on power grids). A short view to the history.

Structure and parts of modern control systems: Real time units, stations for operation and visualisation, communication buses, analog and digital signal processing and informations, sensors and actors, computeraided design and programming, project management and documentation.

Basic and advanced tasks of modern control systems: control, stabilisation, safety, visualisation and operation, reporting and optimization (important for power grids: generation and distribution management).

View to the future: Smartgrids
