Plant Safety and Control

Prerequisite

Good knowledge of chemistry and equipment construction. The student must be able to read process engineering flow sheets containing measurement and control instrumentation.
Teaching methods Lecture
Learning target / Competences

The students command systematic approaches toward safety concepts when designing energy conversion plants or facilities. They are able to set up a safety concept for a specific plant and can evaluate the safety status of an existing plant.

The students are acquainted with the hard- and software of process control systems.
They get knowledge about the different fieldbus technologies. The students are able to decide, which control system is best to fulfil a particular task, and how to distinguish between an integrated Process Control System and a PLC with SCADA. They know how a process control system is structured, and they can define a complete loop of measurement and control from sensor to actuator. They are capable of creating and programming an integrated, object orientated control system in a way to start and control a simple process.
