The use of multi-agents and anticipatory control to improve the performance and safety of
nuclear power plants is discussed. The propose program seeks to advance and test via …

This paper presents parameter estimation of physical time-varying parameters for combined-
cycle power plant models. Four different variants of the Kalman filter are compared …

This paper reports on the development and a successful MPC implementation for startups of
combined-cycle plants. Minimizing startup times is important for energy utility companies to …

In this paper, it is argued that some low-level aspects of the usual IEC 61850 mapping to
Ethernet are not well suited to microgrids due to their dynamic nature and geographical …

The subcritical coal-fired boilers of thermal power plants consist of a combustion chamber,
economizer unit, drum unit (drum, riser, and downcomer), superheater unit (primary …

A typical thermal power plant is characterized by nonlinearity, changing parameters,
unknown disturbances, large time-delays, large inertia and highly coupled dynamics among …

Combined-cycle power plants recycle steam or gas to generate additional power and
reduce emissions. In this research work, the boiler of a combined-cycle power plant is …

This paper provides a simplified mathematical model of twin shaft gas turbine suitable for
use in dynamic studies of both electric power generation plants and variable speed …

The low carbon economy, environmental considerations, and fuel efficiency demands have
placed strong requirements on fossil fuel–based power plants, requiring them to be …

A new method for cluster number optimization of Takagi & Sugeno models is proposed. A
general identification methodology is also described, including a sensitivity analysis for input …
