MPI/CPO module implements features useful in plant modelling and control design phases.

MPI (Model Parameters Identification ) allows to obtain the most appropriate values of the model parameters from experimental data acquired on field.

CPO (Control Parameters Optimisation) helps you tuning the control parameters according to the criteria you specify in your cost function.

Both MPI and CPO are based on an EICAS proprietary numerical algorithm (a variant of the conjugate gradient method) that works by minimising the cost function of the model error you define.

The MPI/CPO module integrates the SIMBUILDER with a suitable configuration interface where the user may:

• define the list of parameters subject to identification/optimisation;



• provide the process configuration (in particular the range of variation of the parameters to be identified/optimised and the accuracy with which the algorithm must obtain the parameter values);



• define the related cost function;



• configure the plotting areas for monitoring the MPI/CPO process during its execution.

 

Furthermore, the MPI/CPO module provides also the MPI/CPO Manger GUI, integrated inside the SIM tool with the goal to manage the overall identification/optimisation process.
