An integrated approach to control of quantity and quality in water supply and distribution systems is proposed. The integrated control consists in optimising the operational cost, meeting a demand on water of desired quality and maintaining the system constraints. This constrained optimising control problem is complex due to nonlinearities, large dimension, output constraints, mixed-integer structure of the variables involved, at least two time scales in the system dynamics and an uncertainty. A sub-optimal two-level hierarchical control structure is proposed that allows incorporating the desired controller functions and yet making the synthesis of these functions possible. The algorithms for implementing the functionalities are proposed and discussed. Detail design of the lower level controller is presented and investigated. The controller performance is validated by simulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deals with the control of variable-delay processes, where the delay depends on the value of the manipulated variable, which results in a non-linear system difficult to control. As a reference process, the case of a heated tank where the controlled variable is the liquid temperature and the placement of the sensor introduce a transport delay in the control loop, has been considered. This challenging problem is approached from the perspective of predictive control, using the non-linear EPSAC controller.

This paper studies the control of a pH process by using a neuro fuzzy controller with gain scheduling. As the process to be controlled is highly non-linear the PI-type fuzzy controller that will be used generally is not able to control the system adequately. For this, a very simple feedforward neural network trained on-line, is put at the output of the PI-type fuzzy controller in order to calculate the gain of the controller. This neuro-fuzzy regulator has been tested in real-time on a bench plant. On-line results show that the designed controlsystem allows the plant to operate in a range of pH values, despite perturbations and variations of the plant parameters, obtaining good performance at the desired workings points.

This paper is concerned with improvement of the KDI-based fault detection method so far developed by authors for nonlinear black-box systems. When modeling the system, Quasi-ARMAX model with multi-model structure is used. A fault due to unexpected change in system parameters will appear as the change of identified model. Kullback discrimination Information (KDI) can then be used as the fault detection index to evaluate the distortion in identified model. Several schemes to improve the fault detection performance are proposed, as well as the realization of a kind of fault isolation function based on a recognition approach in the model parameter space. The effectiveness of the method is verified through simulation studies on the ship propulsion system constructed for benchmark test.

In this paper the robust positivity of polynomials under coefficient perturbation is investigated. This robust positivity of polynomials can be used for polynomial systems in order to determine the robust asymptotic stability of the system. It is assumed that the polynomials under investigation depend linearly on some parameters. The aim in the article is to determine the parameter perturbation region as a hypersphere, for which the polynomial is globally positive. The theorem of Ehlich and Zeller is used to achieve this aim. This theorem enables to give conditions in the parameter space for global positivity. These conditions are linear inequalities. By means of these inequalities an inner and an outer approximation are calculated to the relevant perturbation region which is a hypersphere. Two nontrivial examples conclude the paper and show the effectiveness of the presented method.

This article presents a solution to pH control based on model-free intelligent control (MFIC) using reinforcement learning. This control technique is proposed because the algorithm gives a general solution for acid-base system, yet simple enough for its implementation in existing control hardware. In standard reinforcement learning, the interaction between an agent and the environment is based on a fixed time scale: during learning, the agent can select several primitive actions depending on the system state. A novel solution is presented, using multi-step actions (MSA): actions on multiple time scales consist of several identical primitive actions. This solves the problem of determining a suitable fixed time scale to select control actions so as to trade off accuracy in control against learning complexity. The application of multi-step actions on a simulated pH process shows that the proposed MFIC learns to control adequately the neutralization process.

Power system stabilizers (PSS) play an important role in damping of power system oscillations. An intensive research activity has been devoted to design of their structure and optimal setting of their parameters. In this paper the simultaneous optimization of multiloop PSS and automatic voltage regulator parameters (AVR) by means of genetic algorithm is proposed. Using an example of the 259 MVA turbogenerator excitation system in the nuclear power plant Mochovce (Slovak Republic) it is shown that the genetic algorithms are able to find the optimal parameters of excitation system so that the requirements on terminal voltage performances as well as on damping of active power oscillations are satisfied.

Repetitive processes are a distinct class of 2D systems (i.e. information propagation in two independent directions) of both systems theoretic and applications interest. They cannot be controlled by direct extension of existing techniques from either standard (termed 1D here) or 2D systems theory. Here we give the first results on how feedback/feedforward control action can be used to influence one form of controllability for processes with discrete dynamics.

Currently the doubly fed induction machine (DFIM) is often used in wind power plants. The digital rotor current controller is always based on DFIM models linearized within a sampling period which does not correspond to the nonlinear nature of the DFIM. The paper deals with a nonlinear control scheme with direct decoupling and presents some first investigation results. This new controller helps to improve ride-through of the wind turbine during grid faults
