Oxy-fuel combustion is suggested as a clean technique for energy conversion with respect
to the reduction of CO 2 and NO x emissions. The positive effect of NO x reduction can be …

In this paper, an optimal adaptive robust PID controller based on fuzzy rules and sliding
modes is introduced to present a general scheme to control MIMO uncertain chaotic …

Since design optimization faces the challenge of solving inherently large optimization
problems, the complexity of underlying dynamic systems is often reduced by applying quasi …

To accommodate high penetration of renewable power, coal-fired power plants should have
high operational flexibility. However, the load cycling rate of subcritical power plants is …

This work presents an automatic tuning method for the discontinuous component of the
Sliding Mode Generalized Predictive Controller (SMGPC) subject to constraints. The …

In a thermal plant, the combustion system of the coal-fired boiler is a nonlinear time-varying
system, which leads to undesired responses, if traditional proportional-integral-derivative …

As higher requirements are proposed for the load regulation and efficiency enhancement,
the control performance of boiler-turbine systems has become much more important. In this …

This paper suggests a new dynamic sliding mode controller incorporating a disturbance
observer for controlling integrating processes with time delay. Here, a new reaching law has …

The increasing share of renewable energy sources in the overall energy mix forces a
change in the character of operation of coal-fired power units. Their task is now to balance …

In the combustion system of a boiler, oxygen content in the flue gas is a significant economic
parameter for combustion efficiency. As a combustion system is highly complex and there …
