This work presents a hierarchical framework to control a solar thermal facility aiming to
provide the required operating conditions for an absorption chiller machine. The CIESOL …

This paper proposes a multi-model adaptive control (MMAC) algorithm based on Youla-
Kucera (YK) theory to deal with heterogeneity in cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) …

This work presents a new switching control procedure that has been chosen to deal with the
changes in plant dynamics. Several control systems composed of IMC-based PID controllers …

Based on offline studies and past experiences, a novel adaptive coordinated voltage control
(ACVC) strategy is proposed in this two-part paper. An efficient adaptive response is …

The paper documents an optimal multiple-model strategy to design a controller for the boiler-
turbine unit. There are two important problems associated with multiple-model controllers …

Industrial processes are characterized by changing dynamics associated to different
operating points. Control systems usually face this behavior by adapting the control …

This paper addresses the temperature control problem in a solar furnace. In particular, two
control strategies for the disturbances rejection (represented by the variation of the input …

A key topic in multicontroller strategies is the mechanism for switching between controllers,
depending on the current operating point. The objective of the switching mechanism is to …

In this work, an adaptive multiple model pre‐assigned exponential convergence control
scheme based on the time varying exponential function is demonstrated for a class of …

This paper proposes and demonstrates an automatic steering system designed for
passenger ferries with dock-to-dock capabilities. The method consists of a modular control …
