This paper addresses the disturbance attenuation problem in nonlinear moving horizon control. Conceptually a minimax formulation with a general dissipation constraint is suggested and theoretical results on closed-loop dissipation, L2 disturbance attenuation and stability are discussed. The implementation issue is attacked with respect to tracking a reference trajectory in the presence of exter...

Fault diagnosis is a key task for developing safer control systems, especially in chemical plants. Nonetheless, acquiring good labeled fault data involves sampling from dangerous system conditions. A possible workaround to this limitation use simulation training data-driven systems. However, due modelling errors or unknown factors, may differ distribution real-world data. This setting known as ...

An adaptive version of growing and pruning RBF neural network has been used to predict the system output and implement Linear Model-Based Predictive Controller (LMPC) and Non-linear Model-based Predictive Controller (NMPC) strategies. A radial-basis neural network with growing and pruning capabilities is introduced to carry out on-line model identification.An Unscented Kal...

This contribution presents program in MATLAB’s Graphical User Interface (GUI) which can be used for investigating of the static and dynamic behaviour and adaptive control of the nonlinear system represented by Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR). Program provides computation for various values of the input variables which made this program universal for the wide range of the users without th...

A non-linear modelling technique is presented which uses a non-parametric bilinear representation in the form of a linear and a series of bilinear impulse coefficients. The technique is applied in simulation to the identification of a non-linear continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and the resulting model is shown to satisfy correlation based non-linear validity tests. It is also compared wit...

Recent work at the Centre for Speech Technology Research (CSTR) at the University of Edinburgh has developed an accent-independent lexicon for speech synthesis (the Unisyn project). The main purpose of this lexicon is to avoid the problems and cost of writing a new lexicon for every new accent needed for synthesis. Only recently [1], a first attempt has been made to use the Keyword Lexicon for ...

Abstract The development of continuous flow electrochemical reactors is required to overcome the limitations conventional batch for treatment large flows effluents. Therefore, objective this study was develop and characterize a new pilot-scale reactor using BDD anode carbon felt cathode operating in mode. First, “Design Experiment” analysis performed order identify most critical parameters perc...
