Abstract: In this paper, we discuss the design of controllers that provide quadratic stability and a desirable disturbance attenuation level (through an appropriately small L2 gain) for systems with time ...

Abstract: Novel low-power or semiactive devices are developed for vibration suppression applications. By manipulating the structural stiffness, the resisting forces generated by the devices are quite large and independent of velocity. ...

Abstract: This paper addresses control of structural vibrations using semi-active actuators that are capable of manipulating stiffness and∕or producing variable stiffness. Usually vibration suppression is ...

Abstract: Two multiobjective control strategies are presented and applied to the wind-excited benchmark problem. The first strategy, referred to as the energy-to-peak based controller, deals with a class of “energy-bounded” excitations, ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional dynamic model was created for a Siemens Westinghouse type tubular solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). This SOFC model was integrated with simulation modules for other system components ...

Abstract: Recently developed

Abstract: The control system for fuel cell gas turbine hybrid power plants plays an important role in achieving synergistic operation of subsystems, improving reliability of operation, and reducing frequency ...

Abstract: A 100 MW-class planar solid oxide fuel cell synchronous gas turbine hybrid system has been designed, modeled, and controlled. The system is built of 70 functional fuel cell modules, each ...

Abstract: A bottoming 275kW planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) gas turbine (GT) hybrid system control approach has been conceptualized and designed. Based on previously published modeling techniques, a ...
