Abstract

This paper presents a simulation study of a state-space based Model Predictive Controller (MPC) applied to control the gas-oil-water separator train on Statoil’s Statfjord A crude oil production platform. The simulator is a fairly detailed one, used for several engineering purposes. The MPC-performance is compared to those of the existing basic control system and an LQG-controller. It is superior to both from different reasons.
