This work proposes a hybrid mathematical model and an optimisation-based tool to support the management of a heat-recovery section (formed by several heat exchangers) in a fibre-production factory. The purpose of the network is to heat different products using several hot sources, employed as utilities. Furthermore, concerns about the degradation of the equipment due to fouling are explicitly taken into account. Hence, the goals are to allocate the hot sources to heat exchangers and to suggest which heat exchanger should be cleaned to achieve optimal economic operation. Experimental models for the overall heat-transfer coefficients with respect to the flows have been identified, and production constraints are considered too. The problem is formulated such that it can be solved in a real-time optimisation fashion via mixed-integer non-linear programming. The approach has been tested through plant historical situations.

Chlorination in drinking water treatment plants (DWTP) is the final process applied to water before it is sent to storage tanks in the supply network for subsequent human consumption. An excessive dosage of chlorine or, conversely, too small a dosage, may breach existing legal regulations on mandatory limits. In DWTP where there is no significant variability in the quality of the water to be treated, a type of control that is proportional to the flow rate in the effluent can have fully satisfactory results. Therefore, Proportional-Integral (PI) control is a rather frequently used solution. However, when there are inherently long delays in the process, variability in the quality of the water to be treated and considerable variations alternative type is needed. This article presents the strategy and results of a control method that proposes a Fuzzy based feed-forward system to complement an existing PI control. The controlsystem results are shown as applied to the DWTP of Barcelona city, producing satisfactory experimental results.

The fluoroscopic angiography comprises a temporal sequence of images acquired with a certain frequency. Hence the time density curves can be generated from the temporal and pixels' intensities information. In the paper is presented a new method to process these curves in order to further extract hemodynamic parameters from cardiac X-ray angiography.

Looking at the Smart Grid as a Cyber - Physical system of great complexity, the paper synthesizes the main IT security issues that may arise. Security issues are seen from a hybrid point of view, combining theory of information with system theory. Smart Grid has changed dramatically over the past years. With modern technologies, such as Big Data or Internet of Things (IoT), the Smart Grid is evolving into a more interconnected and dynamic power network model.

Bayesian neural networks are powerful inference methods by accounting for randomness in the data and the network model. Uncertainty quantification at the output of neural networks is critical, especially for applications such as autonomous driving and hazardous weather forecasting. However, approaches for theoretical analysis of Bayesian neural networks remain limited. This paper makes a step forward towards mathematical quantification of uncertainty in neural network models and proposes a cubature-rule-based computationally-efficient uncertainty quantification approach that captures layer-wise uncertainties of Bayesian neural networks. The proposed approach approximates the first two moments of the posterior distribution of the parameters by propagating cubature points across the network nonlinearities. Simulation results show that the proposed approach can achieve more diverse layer-wise uncertainty quantification results of neural networks with a fast convergence rate.

For many dynamical systems it is required to specifically shift individual poles, especially when these poles are lightly damped or even unstable. To achieve that, a preferably large number of effectors and measurements are installed leading to multivariable control problems. In this paper, a novel control approach is presented for placing either a single pole or a conjugate complex pole pair at a predefined location using rank-one static output feedback. Rank-one feedback can be interpreted as blending inputs and outputs to define a single input and single output loop with a desirable root locus along which the pole is moved. The corresponding controller synthesis is reduced to an unconstrained optimization problem in a single variable that aims at minimizing the feedback gain. Although the approach is derived for a single pole or conjugate complex pole pair, it is easily extended to multiple poles. To this end, a repeated design and superposition of rank-one feedback gains is proposed. It is further shown how residual system dynamics as well as subsequently designed gains can be efficiently decoupled from each other in order to avoid undesired interactions and spillover effects. The effectiveness of the proposed control approach is demonstrated by means of a numerical example.
