Visible to the public Design of Networked Control Systems for Chemical Process

Submitted by Panagiotis Christ... on Fri, 10/25/2013 - 12:17pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

The chemical industry is a vital sector of the US economy. Optimal operation and management of abnormal situations are major challenges in the process industries since, for example, abnormal situations account for at least $10 billion in annual lost revenue in the US alone. This realization has motivated significant research in the area of process control to ensure safe and efficient process operation.

Visible to the public Hybrid Control Tools for Power Management and Optimization in Cyber-Physical Systems

Submitted by Magnus Egerstedt on Thu, 10/24/2013 - 4:37pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

This project strikes a balance between performance considerations and power consumption in cyber--physical systems through algorithms that switch among different modes of operation (e.g., low--power/high--power, on/off, or mobile/static) in response to environmental conditions. The computational contribution is a hybrid optimal control framework that is connected to a number of relevant target applications where physical modeling, control design, and software architectures all constitute important components.
