The present thesis delves into the broad area of industrial control, into the main and auxiliary units that are required, and also into selected applications of industrial control at the energy sector. Particular emphasis is shed on the description of the basic components that comprise an integrated and installed industrial control system so that the reader (and consequently anyone interested) will be able to understand not only basic, but also advanced principles that are encountered during industrial control implementation. To this end, the thesis initiates with a historical throwback regarding the emergence of the need for developing industrial control systems. Next, the basic principles of the widely used three-term PID controller are analysed. Special effort is devoted towards analysing the PID implementation after proper tuning, but also under the frequent use of filters (1st, 2nd, etc.) towards improved performance. Core effort for this thesis however, is devoted for the analysis of industrial control units through Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). Principles such as the structure of a Programmable Logic Controller, its operating features, as well as, its digital requirements are presented in detail and accompanied by the broke down description of the necessary equipment (e.g. sensors, measuring elements). Finally, the thesis covers (up to a marginal point) the area of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (known as SCADA) and explains a) its architecture, b) its main functions, c) its advantages / disadvantages and clearly d) its applications. In particular, the thesis presents selected applications of industrial control in power plants, fluid transport stations and also in innovative energy harnessing systems.
