Intelligent Control of a Water-Recovery System: Three Years in the Trenches
نویسندگان
چکیده
• This article discusses our experience building and running an intelligent control system during a two-year test for a NASA advanced life support (ALS) system. The system under test was known as the integrated water recovery system (iWRS). We used the 3T intelligent control architecture to produce software that operated autonomously, 24/7 for sixteen months. The article details our development approach, the successes and failures of the system and our lessons learned. We conclude with a summary of spin-off benefits to the AI community and areas of AI research that can be useful for future ALS systems.

Reservoir Performance Assessment Based on Intelligent Well Technology
The main challenge facing the oil industry is to reduce development costs while accelerating recovery with maximizing reserves. One of the key enabling technologies in this area is intelligent well completions. Intelligent well technology (IWT) is a relatively new technology that has been adopted by many operators in recent years to improve oil and gas recovery. Intelligent well completions emp...
متن کاملA Novel Integrated Approach to Oil Production Optimization and Limiting the Water Cut Using Intelligent Well Concept: Using Case Studies
Intelligent well technology has provided facility for real time production control through use of subsurface instrumentation. Early detection of water production allows for a prompt remedial action. Effective water control requires the appropriate performance of individual devices in wells on maintaining the equilibrium between water and oil production over the entire field life. However, there...
متن کاملGovernor design for hydropower plants by intelligent sliding mode variable structure control
This work proposes a neural-fuzzy sliding mode control scheme for a hydro-turbine speed governor system. Considering the assumption of elastic water hammer, a nonlinear mode of the hydro-turbine governor system is established. By linearizing this mode, a sliding mode controller is designed. The linearized mode is subject to uncertainties. The uncertainties are generated in the process of linear...

Among the various fields of science, whenever a precise measurement is required, this approach can be applied. One of these fields is Medical Sciences that due to ...
متن کاملControl Reconfiguration of a Boiler-Turbine Unit After Actuator Faults
Boiler-turbines are one of the most important parts in power generation plants. The safety problem in such systems has always been a special concern. This paper discusses the application of control reconfig uration by fault-hiding approach for a boiler-turbine unit. In Fault-hiding approach, after occurrence of a fault, nominal controller of the system remains unchanged; instead, a reconfigurat...
