Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a modern feedback law that generates the control signal by solving an optimal control problem at each sampling time. This approach is capable of maximizing a certain ...

Distillation columns are extensively deployed in the chemical process industries when there is a need for separation of components that have different boiling points. Typically, a mixture of ...

A proposed new model for current-mode control retains the strengths of existing models such as ease of use and the ability to capture subharmonic oscillations, while improving on weaknesses like dc ...

Development of the Integrated Environmental Control Model (IECM) began at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) under the direction of Prof. Ed Rubin in the mid–1980s, when the U.S. Department of Energy ...
