Feedback optimizing control aims to achieve asymptotic optimal operation by directly
manipulating the inputs using feedback controllers, without the need to solve numerical …

Split range control is used to extend the steady-state operating range for a single output
(controlled variable) by using multiple inputs (manipulated variables). The standard …

Employing aerial robots for inspection and maintenance of civil structures can significantly
improve the accuracy and efficiency of these missions. While the benefits of aerial robots for …

Global energy demand is experiencing a notable surge due to growing energy security.
Renewable energy sources, like ethanol, are becoming more viable. In the present study …

Selector logic is a simple and effective tool to switch between different controlled variables
associated with change in active constraints. Selector blocks have been extensively used in …

Renewable energy sources are an environmentally attractive idea, but they require a proper
control scheme to guarantee optimal operation. In this work, we tune different controllers for …

This paper presents a systematic comparison between three alternatives to design the
supervisory control layer of a district heating network composed of a waste heat boiler, an …

The availability of multiple inputs (plants) can improve output performance by conveniently
allocating the control bandwidth among them. Beyond that, the intervention of only the useful …

This paper presents the simulation implementation of classical control strategies based on
PID controllers for the simultaneous control of water level and biomass concentration in …

The centenary of the PID controller is significant not only with the pioneering article by N.
Minorsky, with which he scientifically substantiates its algorithm, structure, components and …
