  2. 1. On robust and optimal control : with real time aspects

    Author : Torbjörn Norlander; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Reglerteknik; Control Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with several issues in realistic design of control systems, both from a practical and a theoretical point of view. This is done in three papers which are preceded by an introduction and a short discussion on future research on time-varying delays. The first paper discusses the importance of reliable sensors in control systems. READ MORE

  4. 2. Continuous-Time Delta-Sigma Modulators for Wireless Communication

    Author : Mattias Andersson; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; return-to-zero; A D converter; loop delay; delta-sigma; ADC; CMOS; STF; continuous-time; sigma; delta; filtering; CT; RZ;

    Abstract : The ever increasing data rates in wireless communication require analog to digital converters (ADCs) with greater requirements on speed and accuracy, while being power efficient to prolong battery life. This dissertation contains an introduction to the field and five papers that focus on the continuous-time (CT) Delta-Sigma modulator (DSM) as ADC. READ MORE

  5. 3. A Study of Using Pulsed Neutron Activation for Accurate Measurements of Water Flow in Pipes

    Author : Per Lindén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pulsed neutron activation; turbulent flow; neural networks; pipe flow; flow measurements; eddy diffusion; time averaging;

    Abstract : The objectives of this work were 1) to investigate the performance of the pulsed neutron activation (PNA) method for determination of mass flow of water in pipes, and 2) to improve the accuracy such that an error less than 1% become possible with the PNA method. The ultimate purpose is to develop this method into a high-accuracy portable and non-intrusive flow-meter that easily can be used as a calibration tool at a number of field applications, e.

  6. 4. Averaging level control in the presence of frequent inlet flow upsets

    Author : Peter Rosander; Alf J. Isaksson; Johan Löfberg; Morten Hovd; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Averaging level control; PI control; Surge tanks; Optimal control; Robust MPC; Process control;

    Abstract : Buffer tanks are widely used within the process industry to prevent flow variations from being directly propagated throughout a plant. The capacity of the tank is used to smoothly transfer inlet flow upsets to the outlet. Ideally, the tank thus works as a low pass filter where the available tank capacity limits the achievable flow smoothing. READ MORE

  7. 5. Essays on forecasting and Bayesian model averaging

    Author : Jana Eklund; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis, which consists of four chapters, focuses on forecasting in a data-rich environment and related computational issues. Chapter 1, “An embarrassment of riches: Forecasting using large panels” explores the idea of combining forecasts from various indicator models by using Bayesian model averaging (BMA) and compares the predictive performance of BMA with predictive performance of factor models.
