Abstract
In a system and method for supervisory management of fluid pipeline/LNG plant/gas plant/refinery/offshore oil and gas platform allowing simultaneous execution of commands at all control points, significantly increasing the speed at which an optimal set-point can be achieved in comparison to manual entry of commands. The pipeline/LNG plant/gas plant/refinery/offshore oil and gas platform control system has a cascade control configuration that can operate in conjunction with existing pipeline/LNG plant/gas plant/refinery/offshore oil and gas platform protection systems. The control room operator can activate automatic operation via the supervisory management system, and can subsequently command that the system switch back to manual control instantaneously. Dynamic models predict operating conditions of pipeline/LNG plant/gas plant/refinery/offshore oil and gas platform processes subject to constraints on pressure and other operating parameters. A steady-state optimization layer, operating in conjunction with real-time control, determines optimal states without operator intervention.
