Agricultural products are highly perishable and drying of the product after harvest has been
proved as one of the methods to minimize postharvest losses. Different studies have been …

The valorization of residues in any industrial processing activities aims at the reuse,
recycling or composting of solid wastes, in such a way as to generate useful products or …

In this paper the robust control of a one-stage refrigeration cycle is addressed. This is a
MIMO process, where the expansion valve opening and the compressor speed are used as …

Nowadays, the design, control and development of rotary dryers are based on the study of
the complete equipment. Rotary dryers are treated as a black box where only inlet and outlet …

The contribution presents a new control-oriented model for direct-heat co-current rotary
dryers with a focus on demand-side flexibility considering the variation of material …

This work is focused on the improvement of variable-speed variable-pitch wind turbine
performance by means of its control structure. This kind of systems can be considered as …

This paper presents an educational software tool, called wtControlGUI, whose main purpose
is to show the applicability and performance of different decoupling control strategies in wind …

This work considers robust moisture content and activity control in a continuous convective
drying for particulate bio-materials. The major process uncertainty is in the kinetics of the …

This paper presents a combined approach to the design of PID control applied to vapour-
compression refrigeration systems. The underlying controller consists of two decentralised …

All parameters in terms of wet alfalfa input capacity, dry alfalfa output capacity, alfalfa stem
length, rotary speed, heated air temperature, air flow velocity and number of lifting flights …
