The goal of most current advanced control systems is to guide a process to a target setpoint
rapidly and reliably. Model predictive control has become a popular technology in many …

Combined heat and power (CHP) plants are widely used in industrial applications. In the
aftermath of the recession, many of the associated production processes are under-utilized …

In dynamic optimization problems, the optimal input profiles are typically obtained using
models that predict the system behavior. In practice, however, process models are often …

Optimization of large-scale industrial systems requires not only state-of-the-art numerical
algorithms, but also accurate tailor-made underlying models to ensure the solution is both …

One of the effective devices to reduce NO x in power plants is the ammonia based selective
catalyst reduction (SCR) system. In this paper, kinetic SCR model simulator is tuned and …

Control of non-condensing non-ideal-gas power cycles is challenging because their output
power dynamics depend on complex system interactions, non-ideal-gas effects complicate …

Control of non-condensing non-ideal-gas power cycles is challenging because of their
complex nonlinear dynamics and the presence of state constraints. This article presents a …
