The conversion of biomass through thermochemical processes has emerged as a promising
approach to meet the demand for alternative renewable fuels. However, these processes …

This paper illustrates the investigation of a higher-scale proton exchange membrane fuel
cell (PEMFC) model to realize its performance, simulation analysis and design in terms of …

Coal gasifier, an essential part of Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) converts
coal into synthesis gas (syngas or producer gas) under certain pressure and temperature …

In this paper a novel BAT algorithm, a recently developed metahuristic algorithm is used to
retune the parameters of pressure loop PI controller of coal gasifier, which is a highly …

This paper investigates a reduced order model of the power system using model order
reduction (MOR) approach to analyze the performance and system efficacy. In this effect, the …

Coal gasifier converts coal into synthesis gas (syngas). The quality of syngas is highly
influenced by variation in coal quality (calorific value of syngas) thereby affecting power …

In the recent past Metahuristic algorithms are most widely used in process industries for
providing optimum outputs under certain constraints. Almost all the industrial processes are …

Control problems in process industries are dominated by nonlinear, time varying behaviour,
different characteristics of various sensors; multiples control loops and interactions among …

Recent developments in nature-inspired algorithms motivate the control engineers to work
towards its application in industrial processes. Almost all the industrial processes are difficult …

Almost all the industrial processes are multivariable in nature and are very difficult to control,
since it involves many variables, strong interactions and nonlinearities. Conventional …
