Computational cost of an exergy-based fault detection scheme implemented in a commercial process simulator
Marais, Henri; Van Schoor, George; Uren, Kenneth R. (Elsevier, 2019)Energy-based fault detection and isolation (FDI) schemes show promise in terms of applicability to petrochemical industries and the broader process industries. Model-based FDI schemes offer pronounced advantages over more ... -
An energy perspective on modelling, supervision, and control of large-scale industrial systems: survey and framework
Van Schoor, George; Uren, Kenneth R.; Van Vuuren, Pieter A.; Du Rand, Carel P.; Van Wyk, Michael A. (IFAC, 2014)Energy is a universal concept that can be used across physical domains to describe complex large-scale industrial systems. This brief survey and framework gives a perspective on energy as a unifying domain for system ... -
An energy-attributed graph approach for the purposes of FDI in a heated two-tank system
Uren, Kenneth R.; Van Schoor, George; Auret, Lidia (Elsevier, 2019)The focus of this paper is the development of attributed graph representations of industrial processes. In this case energy attributes are used since it serves a data reduction purpose and allows for the consideration of ... -
Flight controller and low-cost test environment for a simulated helicopter
Terblanche, Martin C.; Uren, Kenneth R.; Van Schoor, George (IFAC, 2014)In this paper, optimal linear control techniques are utilised to control a radio-controlled helicopter (30 size) in the AeroSIMRC simulation environment. A grey-box time-domain system identification method is used to ... -
Interdependent multi-objective sizing and control optimisation of a renewable energy hydrogen system
Human, Gerhardus; Van Schoor, George; Uren, Kenneth R. (Elsevier, 2014)This paper presents a sizing and control optimisation architecture for the design and evaluation of a small-scale stand-alone hybrid PV-wind-battery system for the production of hydrogen (H2) using proton exchange membrane ... -
Series-parallel approach to on-line observer based neural control of a helicopter system
Hager, Louw vS.; Uren, Kenneth R.; Van Schoor, George (Elsevier, 2014)This paper is concerned with the control of an under-actuated, uncertain, delayed non-linear system through the implementation of arti cial neural networks(ANNs). The aim is the development of a series-parallel training ...
