We study optimal liquidation in the presence of linear temporary and transient price impact along with taking into account a general predicting finite-variation signal. formulate this problem as minimization cost-risk functional over class absolutely continuous signal-adaptive strategies. The stochastic control is solved by following probabilistic convex analytic approach. show that trading str...

Congestion management is one of the technical challenges in a Deregulated power system environment. Two types of Methodologies used in congestion Management are non-cost free methods and cost free methods. In this research work congestion is relieved by using cost-free methods considering FACTS Devices such as TCSC(Thyristor controlled series Compensator) and UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller...

the method of entropy production minimization for finding energy efficient paths of operation of process equipment is first presented using an instructive example with optimal control theory. with refer-ence to the earlier investigations, the researchers present some design rules that relate to the designs’ en-tropy production. minimum entropy production is not obtained in special cases, not ge...

Background and Objectives: Hospitals usually generate large amounts of hazardous waste. If not managed properly, hospital waste can pose threats to public safety and damage the environment. Waste minimization is a waste management approach that focuses on reducing the amount and toxicity of hazardous wastes. This study pursues a two-fold purpose: 1) to gain insight into hospital waste minimizat...

During the transient period at the start of transformer energization, it experiences a flux linkage that is up to twice its nominal steady state value and saturates the core. This causes a large inrush current to flow which affects the power system stability and power quality especially when the source is weak. Sequential phase energization technique and addition of neutral resistor are the maj...

After a brief review of available results the main focus of the paper is on the transient behaviour of positive systems and their stability radii with respect to highly structured perturbations. Simple upper bounds for the transient gain of positive systems are obtained by means of linear Lyapunov functions on the positive orthant. The minimization of these bounds is discussed and algorithms fo...

We develop an adaptive control architecture to achieve stabilization and command following of uncertain dynamical systems with improved transient performance. Our framework consists of a new reference system and an adaptive controller. The proposed reference system captures a desired closed-loop dynamical system behavior modified by a mismatch term representing the high-frequency content betwee...

In steel industry, without consideration of blast furnaces, reheating furnaces are classified the biggest energy consumers. The research of efficient control algorithms permitting less energy consumption has become an important issue for those furnaces. In this paper, a nonlinear Model Predictive Controller (MPC) is designed for a steel slab walking-beam reheating furnace. A numerical nonlinear...
