This work presents a methodology to efficiently calibrate chlorine decay models. The calibration consists in estimating the unknown parameters by comparing the measured and simulated chlorine concentrations at the monitored ...

The sustained growth of air transportation traffic along the last decades has induced increasing noise exposure for the areas surrounding large and medium airports. This study concentrates on the optimization of the ...

The increasing application of power converter systems based on semiconductor devices such as Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) has motivated the investigation of strategies for their prognostics and health management. ...

Inland navigation networks are large-scale systems with large dead times, nonlinearities and variable time delays. They are composed of interconnected reaches. The management goal is to maintain the water level of each ...

In this paper,the problem of designing aparameter-scheduled state-feedback controller is investigated. The paper presents an extension of the classical regional pole placement, H2 control and H1 control problems, so as to ...

This paper proposes a linear parameter varying proportional integral unknown input observer (PI-UIO) for the diagnosis of actuator faults and icing in unmanned aerial vehicles. It is shown that in presence of sensor noise, ...

This paper proposes a discrete-time linear parameter varying (LPV) unknown input observer (UIO) for the diagnosis of actuator faults and ice accretion in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The proposed approach, which is ...

Inland waterways are large, complex systems composed of interconnected navigation reaches dedicated mainly to navigation. These reaches are generally characterized by negligible bottom slopes and large time delays. The ...

This work presents an economic model predictive control (EMPC) strategy for the control of the dissolved oxygen concentrations in the aerated reactors of a wastewater treatment plant located in Girona, Spain. The control ...
