State-space LQG self-tuning control of flexible structures
This dissertation presents a self-tuning regulator (STR) design method developed based upon a state-space linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control strategy for rejecting a disturbance in a flexible structure in the face of model uncertainty. The parameters to be tuned are treated as additional state …

The application of self-tuning control to rolling mill systems.
The introduction of self-tuning control techniques to the Automatic Gauge Control (AGC) system of a rolling mill is considered. This is a new application of pole-placement self-tuning control and no comparable examples have been found in the literature. Initially, an existing ACSL model was …

A design methodology for self-tuning control of systems with inherent conflicts
… this thesis is a methodology for the design of self-tuning controllers for systems with inherent control conflicts. These conflicts arise from either physical phenomena or user specifications. An intrinsic part of this methodology is the extensive collection and computer-aided incorporation of a …

Optimal control, self-tuning techniques and their application to dynamically positioned vessels
… consists of two parts. The development of a self-adaptive stochastic control system for dynamically positioned vessels is described in Part One. Part Two is the investigation and the development of self-tuning control techniques.</p> <p>In Part One, the dynamic ship positioning control …

Application of modern control techniques to a distillation column
Modern control techniques have been applied to a distillation column. Three control techniques were selected for evaluation. These are; a decoupling and disturbance rejection control scheme; an estimator aided control techniques using a Kalman filter; and an implicit generalised minimum variance …

An investigation into control strategies for activated sludge wastewater treatment plants.
… users. This process is not normally efficiently controlled and hence increasingly important financial incentives and environmental considerations exist for improving the efficiency and quality of the treatment before releasing the treated water into the environment. This thesis presents the …

Adaptive Hierarchical Control in V2G Integrated Micro-grids
An adaptive hierarchical control system for utilizing electric vehicle (EV) batteries to provide energy storage service in a Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) integrated micro-grid is presented in this thesis. The control system consists of an on-line self-tuning (ST) adaptive inverter controller at the …

A Statistical Approach to Automatic Process Control (regulation schemes)
Automatic process control (APC) techniques have been applied to process variables such as feed rate, temperature, pressure, viscosity, and to product quality variables as well. Conventional practices of engineering control use the potential for step changes to justify an integral term in the …
