In the decarbonisation path, wave energy systems are gaining attention as a key technology
in the renewable energy mix. An essential step towards their effective development is …

This paper addresses control performance monitoring (CPM) and degradation recovering in
automatic control systems. It begins with a re-visit of CPM techniques and a summary of the …

Under the condition that state variables are unavailable, a robust predictive fault-tolerant
switching control method is proposed for discrete linear systems with actuator random …

Bioprocesses are involved in producing different pharmaceutical products. Complicated
dynamics, nonlinearity and non-stationarity make controlling them a very delicate task. The …

This paper presents the design and stability analysis of a dual-loop hierarchical controller for
the trajectory tracking of quadrotors subject to unexpected actuator faults. The hierarchical …

This paper presents the application of control strategies for wastewater treatment plants with
the goal of effluent limits violations removal as well as achieving a simultaneous …

This paper presents an overview of results and future challenges related to temperature
control and cost optimization in building energy systems. Control and economic optimization …

Historically, process control, process scheduling, and process operational functions (such as
safety and maintenance) have been considered independently, in isolation, and/or in a …

This paper focuses on the design of a unique scheme that simultaneously performs fault
isolation and fault tolerant control for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with faults …

The analysis of equipment degradation has traditionally developed in two main directions.
One approach, of great interest for control system design, has been to consider that …
