Process Control Closed Loop Controller

Jump to bottom
Mikayla edited this page Jan 24, 2023 · 4 revisions

The facility process controller uses a PI control system (Proportional Integral). A derivative term was omitted as a full PID controller on a slow updating loop is overkill. Clamping is used to prevent the integral term from oversaturating when large targets are used (most notably the charge level target for the induction matrix). Separate gains are used for charge level and generation rate control.
