The present sought to draw a comparison between Model Predictive Control performance and two other controllers named Simple PI and Selective PI in controlling large-scale natural gas transport networks. A nonlinear dynamic model of representative gas pipeline was derived from pipeline governing rules and simulated in SIMULINK® environment of MATLAB®. Control schemes were designed to provide a s...

We describe a system for providing early warning of possible error to an operator in control of an instrument providing results in batches from samples, for example, chemical elements found in soil or water samples. The system has the potential to be used with any form of instrument that provides multiple results for a given sample. The idea is to train models for each measurement, using histor...
