The plant operation is stated in terms of a cascade control configuration where the ammonia concentration at the output of the last reactor determines the set-points of the three aerated tanks. In addition, the usual nitrate control loop for the second anoxic tank is also in place. The problem is addressed here within the framework provided by the Benchmark Simulation Model Number 1 (BSM1) and by the use of an event-based solution. As far as to the knowledge of the authors, no solution based on this kind of controllers has been proposed already in the literature. The controllers are taken as of similar complexity as the ones provided as default control strategy in the BSM1, therefor being the main difference, the possibilities provided by the event-based implementation. It will be verified that the solution can improve the performance of the already existing controllers both at loop level as well as at plant operation level.","PeriodicalId":153985,"journal":{"name":"2018 7th International Conference on Systems and Control (ICSC)","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133147039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A FCN is an operational extension of a Fuzzy Cognitive Map which incorporates proven stability and guaranteed exponentially-fast error convergence to zero during its training and supports at the same time the continuous interaction with the system it describes. In the proposed approach the network assumes functional interconnection weights instead of plain values and the acquired knowledge, during its training, is actually stored in multiple polynomial weight forms. Multiple models carry information associated with different areas of DC Motor operation leading to multiple local inverse FCN control actions, each one associated with the corresponding process model. The model that best approximates the plant in every time instant is determined through a switching rule based on a performance index. The incorporated multiple models may adapt and change their shape online enhancing the overall performance.","PeriodicalId":153985,"journal":{"name":"2018 7th International Conference on Systems and Control (ICSC)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127741687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, in a second stage, the autonomous flying vehicle is piloted to track references of velocity and orientation. Real flight simulation tests have been carried out to observe the behaviour of the UAV when following 3D clothoids, in order to analyze the properties and benefits of using such smooth curves for path planning of fixed-wing planes.","PeriodicalId":153985,"journal":{"name":"2018 7th International Conference on Systems and Control (ICSC)","volume":"690 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131413428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, both of the vector controller and sliding mode control strategy for an isolated doubly fed induction generator-based wind energy conversion system are studied, described, tested and compared.

Batteries are used to meet the energy requirements of a long-term, while SC is used to meet the demand for instant power. The SC can act as a buffer against large magnitudes and rapid fluctuations of power. The PMS is developed to manage the energy flows between the storage devices, by maintaining their State Of Charge (SOC) into acceptable levels, and to establish the priority order between them. The main objective of this work is the combination of two storage technologies with fuzzy logic supervision. It aims to meet the expectations of various production scenarios for a wind generator, to keep stable the DC bus voltage, and to participate in ancillary services such as: respecting a production program, supporting the grid and optimizing storage elements lifespan.
