The appropriate application of advanced control strategies in Heating, Ventilation, and Air-
conditioning (HVAC) systems is key to improving the energy efficiency of buildings …

In the literature, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications tend to
start with examples that are irrelevant to process engineers (eg classification of images …

The vast majority of automatic controllers used to compensate industrial processes are PI or
PID type. This book comprehensively compiles, using a unified notation, tuning rules for …

Step and relay feedback tests have been widely used for model identification in the process
industry. The corresponding identification methods developed in the past three decades are …

Decoupling or non-interactive control has attracted considerable research attention since
the 1960s when control engineers started to deal with multivariable systems. The theory and …

Active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) has been shown to be an effective tool in
dealing with real world problems of dynamic uncertainties, disturbances, nonlinearities, etc …

Industrial Process Identification and Control Design is devoted to advanced identification
and control methods for the operation of continuous-time processes both with and without …

(57) ABSTRACT A method for and apparatus for evaluating the performance of a control
system are disclosed. The method includes receiving data from the control system, wherein …

In this paper, an advanced PID auto-tuner for both single-and multi-variable processes is
described and its application to HVAC systems is presented. The auto-tuner exploits two …

Relay feedback has attracted considerable research attention for more than a century but
there has been no recent summary of the many newly-developed tools and results now …
