What is Control System Performance?
• How Well Does the Control System Do Its Job?
Measure Decide Action
Noise
Variability Tuning
Controller Design
Hysteresis
StictionNon-Linearity
Operator Changes
Loop notIn Normal
Disturbances
Valve atLimit
Interactions

Typical Control System Performance
Typical Statistics• 10% - 90% Control Loops in Manual• 30% Control Valves with Problems• 30% Loops-Tuning is completely wrong• 40% Loops Oscillating• Improper PID Loop Configuration
– 30% DCS Systems– 95% PID on PLC’s
• 85% Sub-Optimal Tuning• 75% Control Loops increase variability

The Unfortunate Truth:
• Most Plants Do Not Measure These Things, so…• Most Plants Do Not Know How Well They Are Doing !
AND….
• Most Plants Do Not Know When Something Goes Wrong

What is Performance Supervision?
Supervising and Managing the Performance of a System:
– Paying attention to the right things– Assessing the Situation– Prioritizing According to Economics– Taking the right corrective Actions– Tracking Results

Why Does it Matter?
• These Metrics:– Significant Oscillations– Variability– Service Factor– Opportunity Gap– Controllability– Valve Travel– …
