Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for developing a low order dynamic model of a transcritical air-conditioning system, specifically suited for multivariable controller design. An 11th-order nonlinear ...

Abstract: This paper examines the gain-scheduling problem with a particular focus on controller interpolation with guaranteed stability of the nonlinear closed-loop system. For linear parameter varying model ...

Abstract: Vapor compression cycle systems using accumulators and receivers inherently operate at or near a transition point involving changes of phase at the heat exchanger outlets. This work introduces ...
