In this paper, a linear active disturbance rejection controller is proposed for a waste heat recovery system using an organic Rankine cycle process, whose model is obtained by applying the system identification technique. The disturbances imposed on the waste heat recovery system are estimated...

In this paper, the structure and control tasks are briefly summarized for ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) based WHECSs (waste heat energy conversion systems). A control-oriented physical model is established for WHECSs. The energy conversion efficiency of ORC systems is investigated. A constrained...

A multivariable control strategy is needed to ensure high efficiency and load-following capability in the operation of waste heat recovery power plants. In this paper, a generalized predictive controller is proposed for a waste heat recovery process operating on an organic Rankine cycle. The...
