Nonlinear Control and Estimation of Binary Distillation Column
July '05 - july '06
o I dealt with study of non-linear observers for distillation
column.
The non linear observers are required to estimate the unmeasured
states from measured outputs. They are normally an integral part
of many nonlinear control systems like feedback linearization
approach for designing control systems. The study is mainly
based on the observer requirement of feedback linearizing
controller to control a distillation column.
In this work, six different nonlinear observers are designed for
distillation column control. They are
1) Extended kalman filter (ekf)
2) Extended luenberg observer (elo)
3) Thau observer
4) Extended linearization
5) Input - output linearization
6) Sliding observer.
Performances of all the observers are investigated against the
initialization error, parametric uncertainty and noisy
measurements.

ARES OF EXPERTISE
Project Development :
o Posses' expertise in all lifecycle stages of product development
including requirement analysis, systems study, designing,
testing, debugging and implementation using expertise in Aspen
HYSYS, MATLAB, Simulink, Stateflow, Targetlink.
o Managed project development endeavors, overseeing smooth
implementation and testing of applications (Dynasty and Electric
line design for Caterpillar client) as well as debugging,
troubleshooting, maintenance, and retrofitting.
o Steered major integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC)
plants to develop, analyze, and improve complex processes
(General Electric Company).
o Streamlined data transfer by automating the process from
GateCycle output of combined cycle (CC) plant to its
corresponding heat balance diagram (HBD) within Microsoft Visio.
Planning / Scheduling/ Implementing:
o Contributed towards minimizing company expenditure by applying
Six Sigma methodologies to projects to reduce cycle times.
o Analyzed code non-conformities and developed code enhancements
in timely manner.
o Designed and developed workflow diagrams; planned and scheduled
activities to ensure project completion within time and
budgetary parameters while optimizing resource utilization.
o Created algorithms to effectively and efficiently solve
problems.
Team Management/ Reporting:
o Provided motivating leadership to fellow colleagues, offering
mentorship regarding company policies and best practice
procedures as well as technical guidance on complex projects.
o Maintained accurate records of projects at all stages in life
cycle; reported to senior management.
Project Details :
DYNASTY for Caterpillar Client
Feb '08 - Dec '08
o Caterpillar works mainly in the area of development of large
truck and cranes. It used the modern modeling tools to simulate
the entire automobile processes including the electric line
design of the vehicle.
o The modeling and simulation of automobiles was done using
MATLAB, Simulink, Stateflow, Targetlink, C and C++. Hence the
entire thermodynamic and mechanical design was done by us and
tested for validation before sending the results to the vendor.
The simulation tool was called DYNASTY and is used widely in US
colleges for training Engineers.
Tools used: MATLAB, Simulink, Stateflow, Targetlink, C
and C++.
Integrated Gasification combined cycle (General Electric)
Jun '06 - Jan '08
o In GE the work was mainly simulation of the steam turbine and
gas turbines for their IGCC plants. The simulation was again the
mechanical design and testing of the various parts including
verification of results before being sent to the vendor. The
entire thermodynamic processes were also modeled.
Tools used: MATLAB, Simulink, Stateflow, Targetlink, C
and C++.
