abstract. in recent years several studies have shown that  control charts with adaptive schemes or double sampling plans detect both small and moderate shifts in the process mean more quickly than the traditional shewhart  chart. in the classical double sampling  chart, the difference between two points were placed in the central region of first stage was not considered. in this study, a new co...

in this paper an adaptive pid controller for wind energy conversion systems (wecs) has been developed. theadaptation technique applied to this controller is based on reinforcement learning (rl) theory. nonlinearcharacteristics of wind variations as plant input, wind turbine structure and generator operational behaviordemand for high quality adaptive controller to ensure both robust stability an...

economists were interested in economic stabilization policies as early as the 1930’s but the formal applications of stability theory from the classical control theory to economic analysis appeared in the early 1950’s when a number of control engineers actively collaborated with economists on economic stability and feedback mechanisms. the theory of optimal control resulting from the contributio...

Detecting dynamic mean shifts is particularly important in monitoring feedbackcontrolled processes in which time-varying shifts are usually observed. When multivariate control charts are being utilized, one way to improve performance is to reduce dimensions. However, it is difficult to identify and remove non-informative variables statically in a process with dynamic shifts, as the contribution...

model predictive controller is widely used in industrial plants. uncertainty is one of the critical issues in real systems. in this paper, the direct adaptive simplified model predictive control (smpc) is proposed for unknown or time varying plants with uncertainties. by estimating the plant step response in each sample, the controller is designed and the controller coefficients are directly ca...

Traditional control charts for process monitoring are based on taking samples of fixed size from the process using a fixed sampling interval. A recent development in control charts is the use of adaptive control charts, i.e. the variable sampling interval (VSI) and variable sampling size charts. This paper extends this idea to the autocorrelated process. We consider a time series model which is...

control of well drilling operations poses a challenging issue to be tackled. the loss of well control could lead to the occurrence of blowout as a severe threat, involving the risk of human lives and environmental and economic consequences. conventional proportional-integral (pi) controller is a common practice in the well control operation. the small existing margin between pore pressure and f...

The control chart is a very popular tool of statistical process control. It is used to determine the existence of special cause variation to remove it so that the process may be brought in statistical control. Shewhart-type control charts are sensitive for large disturbances in the process, whereas cumulative sum (CUSUM)–type and exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA)–type control charts ...

statistical process control (spc) charts play a major role in quality control systems, and their correct interpretation leads to discovering probable irregularities and errors of the production system. in this regard, various artificial neural networks have been developed to identify mainly singular patterns of spc charts, while having drawbacks in handling multiple concurrent patterns. in this...

in this paper, an adaptive attitude control algorithm is developed based on neural network for a satellite using four reaction wheels in a tetrahedron configuration. then, an attitude control based on feedback linearization control has been designed and uncertainties in the moment of inertia matrix and disturbances torque have been considered. in order to eliminate the effect of these uncertain...
