Active suspension systems in road vehicles are applied in order to mitigate the road-induced
chassis vertical accelerations more effectively than standard passive suspensions, thus …

This article presents a novel event-triggered near-optimal control (ETNOC) method for
discrete-time (DT) constrained nonlinear systems. First, the tracking error system is …

Primary frequency control (PFC) has become increasingly important for the stable operation
of power systems due to the development of renewable energy resources, and the thermal …

In terms of the inner complex characteristics and fast dynamic of the gas turbine system, it is
a great challenge to realize the safe, stable, and efficient operation of gas turbine system in …

To integrate more renewable energy into the power grid, thermal power plants have to
accelerate the speed of power output and extend their operating ranges, which can result in …

The major concern of modern power plants is changing from tracking control to
environmental and economic issues. The economic model predictive control (EMPC) …

The operating principle of condensing boilers is based on exploiting heat from flue gases to
pre-heat cold water at the inlet of the boiler: by condensing into liquid form, flue gases …

To absorb more renewable energy generation into power grid, once-through boiler-turbine
(OTBT) units are now required to operate in a wide load range while maintaining high safety …

As the penetration of renewable energy generation increases in power grid, ultra-
supercritical (USC) once-through boiler-turbine (OTBT) units are required to operate in a …

A modulating heat pump and water tank result in a nonlinear model due to the load
dependency of the heat pump performance, and variable water flows. Nonlinear model …
