A simple but robust and effective method to improve collective pitch control of variable-speed wind turbines given information on future inflow is proposed. The present paper focuses on the design and prospects of a control concept using predictive disturbance compensation. This feed-forward control structure is based on calculation of a future effective wind speed, on static disturbance compen...

Specifying communication routines transparently and explicitly as part of robots’ plans rather than hiding them in separate modules makes robots’ communication behavior more effective, efficient, and robust. It enables robot control systems to generate, reason about and revise their communication behavior. The controllers can also synchronize the robots’ conversations with other actions and use...
