The domain of system identification may be developed today using the powerful tool represented by the intelligent sensor networks, placed in real distributed parameter systems. The sensor networks, as a “distributed sensor”, allow the usage of multivariable estimation techniques, in different ways: classical linear methods of modelling or methods based on artificial intelligence for complex non...

The paper is focused on an application of self – tuning decoupling controllers for real – time control of a multivariable coupled drives apparatus. The controlled apparatus is a multivariable nonlinear system. Two control algorithms based on polynomial theory and pole – placement are proposed. Decoupling compensators are used to suppress interactions between control loops. The controllers integ...

This work investigates a novel turbocharged EGR system installed on a laboratory marine engine. A problem of recirculation of high and stable portion of exhaust gas in marine engines is addressed. Although conventional EGR systems have been extensively presented in research papers, the setup shown in this paper has not been well described. Therefore, we develop a mean-value model of the system ...
