This relevant approach is declined according to two different strategies: first, a setpoint tracking is proposed for the couple crystal mass/concentration, whereas a second way consists in tracking of crystal content and concentration. The controlled variables, unavailable online, are issued from an observer developed in previous works. The performance of these strategies, which application to cane sugar crystallization constitutes a real novelty, are compared with experimental data issued from a PID-controlled industrial plant. The results reveal a significant improvement of energy efficiency, leading to an economy of more than 10% of energy.展开更多

文摘This article investigates the distributed recursive filtering problem for discrete-time stochastic cyber–physical systems.A particular feature of our work is that we consider systems in which the state is constrained by saturation.Measurements are transmitted to nodes of a sensor network over unreliable wireless channels.We propose a linear coding mechanism,together with a distributed method for obtaining a state estimate at each node.These designs aim to minimize the state estimation error covariance.In addition,we derive a bound on this covariance,and accommodate the design parameters to minimize this bound.The resulting design depends on the packet loss probabilities of the wireless channels.This permits applying the proposed scheme to systems in which communications suffer from denial-of-service attacks,as such attacks typically affect those probabilities.Finally,we present a numerical example illustrating this application.

文摘This article studies the consensus problem with directed graphs for general linear multi-agent systems.New distributed state-feedback protocols with dynamic event-triggered(DET)mechanisms are proposed for directed graphs that are strongly connected and weight-balanced,general strongly connected,and have spanning trees,respectively.It is proven that strictly positive minimum inter-event times(MIETs)are ensured using the designed DET mechanisms.Several numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.Compared with existing results,our results have the following merits:1)DET mechanisms are designed to determine the sampling instants,which can reduce the communication frequency between agents compared with static mechanisms;2)We focus on the consensus problem on directed graphs,which is more general than existing related results on undirected graphs;3)The existence of positive MIETs is shown to be guaranteed by the designed DET sampling strategies while existing related results can only exclude Zeno behavior.

文摘During the use of robotics in applications such as antiterrorism or combat,a motion-constrained pursuer vehicle,such as a Dubins unmanned surface vehicle(USV),must get close enough(within a prescribed zero or positive distance)to a moving target as quickly as possible,resulting in the extended minimum-time intercept problem(EMTIP).Existing research has primarily focused on the zero-distance intercept problem,MTIP,establishing the necessary or sufficient conditions for MTIP optimality,and utilizing analytic algorithms,such as root-finding algorithms,to calculate the optimal solutions.However,these approaches depend heavily on the properties of the analytic algorithm,making them inapplicable when problem settings change,such as in the case of a positive effective range or complicated target motions outside uniform rectilinear motion.In this study,an approach employing a high-accuracy and quality-guaranteed mixed-integer piecewise-linear program(QG-PWL)is proposed for the EMTIP.This program can accommodate different effective interception ranges and complicated target motions(variable velocity or complicated trajectories).The high accuracy and quality guarantees of QG-PWL originate from elegant strategies such as piecewise linearization and other developed operation strategies.The approximate error in the intercept path length is proved to be bounded to h^(2)/(4√2),where h is the piecewise length.

文摘Siberian-Arctic heatwaves(SAHs)disrupt ecosystems by increasing wildfires,thawing permafrost,and threatening Arctic communities.As SAHs become more frequent and intense,accurate prediction is crucial for preparedness and mitigating their impacts.We demonstrate that April surface temperatures in the Siberian Arctic can be predicted one month in advance with a skill of 0.75(1979-2022)using a regression model based on Arctic stratospheric ozone,the Arctic Oscillation,and sea ice in the Kara Sea.This model successfully predicts six of seven SAHs,identifying three driven by extreme ozone depletion and three by significant sea-ice loss.Additionally,from 1979 to 1997,warming was primarily caused by ozone depletion,while from 1998 to 2022,sea-ice loss became the main factor.Our findings indicate that SAHs are predictable and recommend this model for real-time monitoring and forecasting,highlighting its potential to enhance preparedness and reduce adverse effects.

文摘Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces(RISs)not only assist communication but also help the localization of user equipment(UE).This study focuses on indoor localization of UE with a single access point(AP)and multiple RISs.First,we propose a two-stage channel estimation scheme where RIS phase shifts are tuned to obtain multiple channel soundings.In the first stage,the newtonized orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm extracts the parameters of multiple paths from the received signals.Then,the LOS path and RISreflected paths are identified.In the second stage,the estimated path gains of RIS-reflected paths with different phase shifts are utilized to determine the angle of arrival(AOA)at the RIS by obtaining the angular pseudo spectrum.Consequently,by taking the AP and RISs as reference points,the linear least squares estimator can locate UE with the estimated AOAs.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can realize centimeter-level localization accuracy in the discussed scenarios.Moreover,the higher accuracy of pseudo spectrum,a larger number of channel soundings,and a larger number of reference points can realize higher localization accuracy of UE.

文摘The operational demands of a wide range significantly exacerbate combustion instability issues within ramjet combustor.To suppress combustion oscillations,an open-loop control system utilizing Linear Genetic Programming(LGP)has been developed for a full-scale annular ramjet combustor.The LGP is used to generate control laws that include multi-frequency forcing.These laws are then transformed into square waves to actuate the solenoid valve,which modulates the kerosene supply for open-loop control.The results show that the duty cycle has little effect on instability amplitude,whereas an increase in frequency leads to a remarked reduction in combustion amplitude.After five generations evolvements,the pressure amplitude is reduced by 40.6% under the optimal control law generated by LGP.Furthermore,the machine learning process is depicted using a proximity map of control law similarity,with the search pathway visualized by the steepest descent.All individuals go forward to the upper left corner of the map with the evolution process,terminating at the optimal individual of the fifth generation.
