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...

We consider LiDAR-enabled model-based collective pitch and torque controllers that can be implemented onboard a wind turbine in a hard real-time environment, in the sense that they can be computed efficiently on standard computer hardware and that require a fixed deterministic number of...

This paper presents fuzzy model-based design for control and synchronization of chaotic systems. In this framework, the chaotic systems are exactly reproduced based on a Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model. Then the fuzzy controllers for control and synchronization are designed using the...

This paper presents a complete design of a two-level control system to capture maximum power in wind energy conversion systems. The upper level of the proposed control system adopts a modified line search optimization algorithm to determine a setpoint for the wind turbine speed. The calculated...
