    A DDC-Based Integrated Electrical and Instrumentation Control System Architecture for Unconventional Oil Production Plants
    Author(s): Jin-Hong Jung* and Jeong-Hyeon Moon

    This study proposes a distributed Direct Digital Control (DDC)-based integrated control architecture for unconventional oil production plants, addressing the limitations of conventional centralized control approaches in modular and distributed industrial environments. Unconventional oil production facilities are characterized by harsh thermodynamic conditions, multiphase flow behavior, and modular plant configurations, which require scalable, interoperable, and resilient control systems beyond traditional Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)-based architectures. To address these challenges, a structured systems engineering methodology is adopted, incorporating requirement derivation, functional decomposition, architecture synthesis, and quantitative validation. The proposed architecture integrates electrical, instrumentation, control, and safety su.. Read More»
