Optimizing Control for More Profitable Operation Professionals in the process control world understand that “less” can often mean more. That is especially true when referring to reduced cycling within a given production process. Reducing oscillations and otherwise tightening constraints around the control objective can present a significant challenge. It also presents an opportunity to dramatically improve a plant’s profitability. Control Station’s LOOP-PRO technologies have made a significant impact on the University of Connecticut’s (UConn’s) 25 MW cogeneration power plant. Commissioned in 2006, the plant is legally constrained to generate sufficient power – and not a KW more – for the university’s exclusive use. With the introduction of LOOP-PRO, loops that had been highly oscillato
