ADVANTAGES ADVANTAGES
Reduce the dead time and phase lag time in the Responses to step change in set point for single-

Can be combined with feed forward and other
types of controllers.
Improved dynamic response and performance
and provide limit on secondary variable.

APPLICATION APPLICATION
Cascade control are used in steam power plants
at…
BOILER….
In boiler we are using various types of closed loop control
and cascade controls. Some cascade loops are given below.
Drum level control
steam temperature control

THE LEVEL-TO-FLOW CASCADE BLOCK
EXAMPLE DIAGRAM
the tank is essentially a
barrel with a hole
punched in the bottom.
Liquid enters through a
feed valve at the top of
the tank.
The exit flow is liquid
draining freely by the
force of gravity out
through the hole in the
tank bottom.
