This paper presents a systematic methodology for design of landfill methane migration control systems. The key to the methodology is that it tests for deficiencies in the conceptual model (working hypothesis) of methane migration, correcting potential design flaws in the landfill methane control system before commencing design and construction. The testing is accomplished by (1) a field investi...

<span>To assess different approaches to traffic light control design, a systematic literature review was conducted, covering publications from 2006 2020. The review’s aim gather and examine all studies that looked at road congestion issues. As well, it aims extract analyze protruding techniques selected research articles in order provide researchers practitioners with recommendations solu...

This paper describes the application of self-optimizing control to a large-scale process, the HDA plant. The idea is to select controlled variables which when kept constant lead to minimum economic loss. First, the optimal active constraints need to be controlled. Next, controlled variables need to be found for the remaining unconstrained degrees of freedom. In order to avoid the combinatorial ...

This paper proposes a systematic control design method for active damping of grid-connected voltage source converters (VSCs). The proposed considers the conventional cascaded loops and improves them by including additional states feedback-based damping. In such way, all gains are lumped into one gain matrix based on formulation. lumping leads to linear optimization problem, so different techniq...

Enterprise-control system integration between business systems, workflow systems, manufacturing execution systems and shop-floor processcontrol systems remains a key issue for facilitating the deployment of plantwide information-control systems. Since years, increasing flexibility and efficiency of their systems has been the new challenge for modern manufacturing enterprises. Business process m...

In this paper we propose a cooperative distributed linear model predictive control strategy applicable to any finite number of subsystems satisfying a stabilizability condition. The control strategy has the following features: hard input constraints are satisfied; terminating the iteration of the distributed controllers prior to convergence retains closed-loop stability; in the limit of iterati...
