  2. 1. Relay Feedback and Multivariable Control

    Author : Karl Henrik Johansson; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; robotics; Automation; Frequency methods; Process control; Sequential control; Automatic tuning; Control education; Laboratory process; Performance limitations; Decentralized control; Multivariable zero; Multivariable systems; Hybrid control; Nonlinear dynamics; Limit cycles; Oscillations; Relay feedback; Sliding modes; control engineering; Automatiska system; robotteknik; reglerteknik;

    Abstract : This doctoral thesis treats three issues in control engineering related to relay feedback and multivariable control systems. Linear systems with relay feedback is the first topic. Such systems are shown to exhibit several interesting behaviors. READ MORE

  4. 2. Tools for Autonomous Process Control

    Author : Anders Wallén; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sequential control; software architectures; fast set point response; spectral estimation; frequency domain identification; relay feedback; non-linear system identification; Autonomous Control; Process Control; Grafcet; Automation; robotics; control engineering; Automatiska system; robotteknik; reglerteknik;

    Abstract : There is an ongoing trend towards higher automation level in process control systems. The purpose of a plant is to manufacture some product at a high production rate with a consistent quality, while minimizing the use of resources in terms of energy consumption, raw material and labor.

  5. 3. A Graphical Language for Batch Control

    Author : Charlotta Johnsson; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Automation; Batch Recipes; Batch Processes; Sequential Control; Grafcet; Petri nets; robotics; control engineering; Automatiska system; robotteknik; reglerteknik;

    Abstract : In this thesis a graphical language for sequential control is presented and its application to batch control is examined and discussed. The name of the language is Grafchart. Its main feature is that it makes it possible to express complicated control problems in a compact and intuitive manner. READ MORE

  6. 4. Planning for a Class of Sequential Control Problems

    Author : Inger Klein; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sequential control problems;

    Abstract : Sequential control is probably the most common control problem in industry. Despite its importance, fairly little theoretical research has been devoted to this problem, and practical problems are typically solved by ad hoc methods, sometimes quite time-consuming.Sequential control is really a planning problem.

  7. 5. Distributed Control for Spatio-Temporally Constrained Systems

    Author : Adrian Wiltz; Dimos V. Dimarogonas; Jonas Mårtensson; Matthias Müller; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; distributed model predictive control; control barrier functions; spatio-temporal constraints; constrained control; multiagent systems; distribuerad modell prediktiv styrning; kontrollbarriärfunktion; tillstånds-temporala begränsningar; begränsade system; multiagentsystem;

    Abstract : In this thesis, we develop methods leading towards the distributed control of spatio-temporally constrained systems. Overall, we focus on two different approaches: a model predictive control approach and an approach based on ensuring set-invariance via control barrier functions. READ MORE
