2. 16. On Real-Time Optimization using Extremum Seeking Control and Economic Model Predictive Control : With Applications to Bioreactors and Paper Machines

   Author : Olle Trollberg; Elling Jacobsen; Sigurd Skogestad; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Real-Time Optimization; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : Process optimization is used to improve the utility and the economic performance of industrial processes, and is as such central in most automation strategies. In this thesis, two feedback-based methods for online process optimization are considered: Extremum seeking control (ESC), a classic model-free method used for steady-state optimization which dates back to the early 1900's, and economic model predictive control (EMPC), a more recent method which utilizes a model to dynamically optimize the closed-loop process economics in real time.

4. 17. Supervisory control of complex propulsion subsystems

   Author : Dhinesh Vilwanathan Velmurugan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Look-ahead control; engine control; exhaust after-treatment; supervisory control;

   Abstract : Modern gasoline and diesel combustion engines are equipped with several subsystems with the goal to reduce fuel consumption and pollutant exhaust emissions. Subsystem synergies could be harnessed using the supervisory control approach. Look-ahead information can be used to potentially optimise power-train control for real time implementation. READ MORE

5. 18. Automated Manufacture of Fertilizing Agglomerates from Burnt Wood Ash

   Author : Thomas Svantesson; Industriell elektroteknik och automation; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Adaptive Filtering; Ash Recycling; Change Detection; System Identification; Real-Time Control; Robust Control; Process Design; Control System Design; Carbon In Fly Ash CIFA monitoring; PID-Control; Agglomeration Techniques; Moisture Control; Dehydration Techniques.; Automation; robotics; control engineering; Automatiska system; robotteknik; reglerteknik;

   Abstract : In Sweden, extensive research is conducted to find alternative sources of energy that should partly replace the electric power production from nuclear power. With the ambition to create a sustainable system for producing energy, the use of renewable energy is expected to grow further and biofuels are expected to account for a significant part of this increase.

6. 19. Automatic memory management for flexible real-time systems

   Author : Sven Robertz; Institutionen för datavetenskap; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer science; feedback scheduling; embedded systems; real-time; memory management; garbage collection; numerical analysis; systems; control; Datalogi; numerisk analys; system; kontroll;

   Abstract : In a flexible real-time system, the constraints in available CPU time and memory lead to resource management problems, which must be handled carefully in order to maximize quality of service while avoiding overload. Managing CPU time -- scheduling -- is well studied and dynamic scheduling is widely accepted in the real-time industry. READ MORE

7. 20. Control and Communication with Signal-to-Noise Ratio Constraints

   Author : Erik Johannesson; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Real-time coding; SNR; Causal coding; AWN channel; AWGN channel; Remote source; Networked control; Control over channel; Convex optimization; Wiener filter;

   Abstract : This thesis is about two problems in the intersection of communication and control theory. Their common feature is that they involve communication over an additive white noise channel with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) constraint. The first problem concerns the transmission of a real-valued signal from a partially observed Markov source. READ MORE
