The development in continuous casting process has been strongly dominated by the demands of quality improvement and reduced costs for steel products in recent years. To achieve these goals consideration has been given ...

This paper is a contribution to the development of a real time wind turbine simulator. The simulator is designed to generate wind power on its shaft, and provide the static and dynamic characteristics of a given turbine. ...

The paper deals with a control structure of the strip thickness in a rolling mill of quarto type (AGC – Automatic Gauge Control). It performs two functions: the compensation of errors induced by unideal dynamics of the ...

This paper deal with the dynamics of an autonomous no storage wind-diesel system, comprising a diesel generator and a controlled wind system with a hypo/hyper synchronous cascade. The objective is to maximize the wind ...

An important goal in continuous casting automation process rest in establishing a proper casting speed being able to assure a compromise between machine productivity and solidified skin cracking protection on the mould ...

This paper presents experimental results of an autonomous low-power wind energy conversion system (WECS), based on a permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) connected directly to the wind turbine. The purpose of ...

A method for steel and aluminium strip thickness control is provided including a new technique for predictive rolling force estimation method by statistic model based on polynomial methods.

This paper presents an optimal control structure for variable speed, fixed pitch wind turbine. The control objective results from the optimization criterion that includes two contradictory demands: maximization of the ...

This paper deals with the modelling of the wind speed, treated as a nonstationary process. In the proposed modelling methods, the wind speed has two components: a long and medium term-component, described by an available ...
