Problem 6.5
Example 1.1 Figure 1.5 shows the block diagram of a closed-loop flow control system. Identify the following elements: (a) the sensor, (b) the transducer, (c) the actuator, (d) the transmitter, (e) the controller, (f) the manipulated variable, and (g) the measured variable.
In the figure above, the (a) sensor is labeled as the pressure cell. The (b) transducer is labeled as the converter. However, there are two converters: one for converting pressure to current, and another converting current to pressure for operating the actuator. The (c) actuator is labeled as the pneumatic valve. The (d) transmitter is labeled as the line driver. The (e) controller is labeled as the PLC. The (f) manipulated variable is labeled as the pressure developed by the fluid flowing through the orifice plate. The (g) measured variable is the flow rate of the liquid.
You are a system engineer for the VRA, a power generation company in Ghana where there has been generation and transmission challenges facing the company ranging from frequent tripping of power lines, system imbalance, and overloading of transformers and to total system shut down of power plants. In a bid to solve the problem, management has requested from you to prepare a technical document of possible solution to fix the challenges. As a system engineer, how would you tackle the issues from the following point of view?
(a) i. Peak Load
ii. Base Load
iii. Energy mix
