Steel production in integrated steelworks involves the simultaneous of various byproducts, including process off-gases that are usually exploited for generating electricity internal power plant, heat and steam. Their discontinuous is managed through complex network, gasholders torches, which must be with stringent operational constraints. In this paper we present a supervision control system de...

Abstract The integrated Resonant Magnetic Perturbation (RMP)-based Edge-Localized Mode (ELM)-crash-control process aims to enhance the plasma performance during RMP-driven ELM crash suppression, where RMP induces an unwanted confinement degradation. In this study, normalized beta ( <mml:msub...

Current trends in energy production suggest that renewable energy will play an important role in future electricity generation. Among renewable sources, solar power is considered to be one of the most promising alternatives which is well supported by the rapid increase of Solar Thermal Power Plant installations worldwide. Solar energy (so as renewables) however is plagued by the intermittent na...

Software process assessments have been used to verify the conformance with quality reference models or standards, usually in a context of software process improvement programs. Most of these assessments are concerned with just one specific model or standard. However, organizations could be interested in more than one model, being necessary to offer an integrated assessment that allows evaluate ...
