In an RL-based control system, the turbine (or wind farm) controller is realized as an agent that observes the state of the ...

As I said in my first column in December 2012, proportional/integral/derivative (PID) solutions seem to require an expertise that is in the hands of a few. But here I ...

PID loops are a central component of modulating boiler control systems with applications ranging from basic steam header pressure control to cascading 3-element drum level control. A modern ...

The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

Plant engineers and technicians are frequently asked to tune the controller when a control loop’s process value has prolonged or significant excursions from the set point. But in many instances, no ...

Self-regulating systems with feedback loops, i.e., the routing back of the output of a system to its input, have existed since antiquity and have since become an integral part of modern technology.

Stabilizing an inverted pendulum is a classic problem in control theory, and if you’ve ever taken a control systems class you might remember seeing pages full of differential equations and bode ...

Affected by the climate goal of “carbon neutrality”, the energy consumption structure is growing increasingly clean and low carbon, giving rise to the rapid development of the PV industry. Due to long ...
