the control of fluidized-bed operations processes is still one of the major areas of research due to the complexity of the process and the inherent nonlinearity and varying dynamics involved in its operation. there are varieties of problems in chemical engineering that can be formulated as nonlinear programming (nlps). the quality of the developed solution significantly affects the performance ...

This paper presents a simple model predictive control (MPC) approach to control the power injection system (PIS) for renewable energy applications. A DC voltage source and a single-phase inverter that is connected to the grid by an LCL filter form the PIS. Grid voltage is considered a disturbance for the system. For eliminating this disturbance, a modified model is proposed. It is usual to ...

In electric power systems, any deviation with respect to the theoretical sinusoidal waveform is considered be a disturbance in quality of electrical grid. The can alter parameters waveform: frequency, amplitude, and symmetry among phases. Microgrid, as part system, has contribute providing an adequate current grid connected-mode, well guarantee similar voltage features than standard requirement...

In this paper, a predictive closed power control loop for mobile communication systems is simulated. The system parameters are derived from those used in a CDMA system uplink transmission at urban mobile speeds. This presents no restrictions, however, on using the proposed method in any closed loop control system where the total received power level is to be estimated from noisy measurements. I...

We consider the operation of a wind turbine and a connected local battery or other electrical storage device, taking into account varying wind speed, with the goal of maximizing the total energy generated while respecting limits on the time derivative (gradient) of power delivered to the grid. We use the turbine inertia as an additional energy storage device, by varying its speed over time, and...

This work presents the results of a project aimed at verifying the applicability of industrial model predictive control (MPC) to thermal Power Plants. The research is motivated by the need to improve the efficiency of power plants so as to cope with the high levels of competition induced by the deregulation of the energy market. A detailed plant simulator, already used for operators training an...

Acknowledgment First of all, I would like to thank my parents who raise me and support me to do further study in Norway. I appreciate the help from my supervisor Lars Einar Norum and Phd student Hamed Nademi. I benefit a lot from their meticulous attitude to study, abundant knowledge and minded guidance. I am very grateful that NTNU Department of Electric Power Engineering provides very good ha...
