Over 15 billion dollars is spent on energy for residential air-conditioning alone each year,
and air conditioning remains the largest source of peak electrical demand. Improving the …

A new method is proposed to implement gain-scheduled controllers for nonlinear plants.
Given a family of linear feedback controllers designed for linearizations of a nonlinear plant …

The authors propose a method of interpolating linear time-invariant controllers with observer
state feedback structure in order to generate a continuously varying family of controllers that …

In this paper, the missile pitch‐axis autopilot design is revisited using a new and recently
available linear parameter‐varying (LPV) control technique. The missile plant model is …

Synthesis of gain scheduled controllers for nonlinear plants often requires that a parameter-
varying controller be generated from a finite set of linear time-invariant controllers. We …

The control of continuous stirred tank reactors is often a challenging problem because of the
strong pronounced nonlinearity of the process dynamics. Exact feedback linearization and …

Power regulation of horizontal-axis grid-connected up-wind constant-speed pitch-regulated
wind turbines presents a demanding control problem with the plant, actuation system and …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present an actuator fault detection method for
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) based on interval observer and extended state observer …

Control technology permeates every aspect of our lives. We rely on them to perform a wide
variety of tasks without giving much thought to the origins of the technology or how it became …

In this paper, some new techniques for determining the observer‐based or LQG form of any
compensator with arbitrary order are discussed. The practical appeal of such techniques is …
