Applied Control Strategies At A Cogeneration Plant, Joseph William Burns
Applied Control Strategies At A Cogeneration Plant, Joseph William Burns
Master's Theses
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the effectiveness of “classical strategies for dynamic control” on authentic cogeneration processes. These strategies are applied to several processes at the University of Connecticut’s cogeneration plant. Case studies of their applications are presented in this paper. Strategies that are applied include the following:
1) The classical SISO feedback structure
2) The First Order Plus Dead Time (FOPDT) process model
3) The Internal Model Control (IMC) correlations for PI controller tuning
4) Static feed forward with feedback trim
5) Cascade Control

Masters Theses
Control and Coordination of the robots has been widely researched area among the swarm robotics. Usually these swarms are involved in accomplishing tasks assigned to them either one after another or concurrently. Most of the times, the tasks assigned may not need the entire population of the swarm but a subset of them. In this project, emphasis has been given to determination of such subsets of robots termed as ”flock” whose size actually depends on the complexity of the task. Once the flock is determined from the swarm, leader and follower robots are determined which accomplish the task in a …

Energy-Economical Heuristically Based Control Of Compass Gait Walking On Stochastically Varying Terrain, Christian Hubicki
Master’s Theses
Investigation uses simulation to explore the inherent tradeoffs ofcontrolling high-speed and highly robust walking robots while minimizing energy consumption. Using a novel controller which optimizes robustness, energy economy, and speed of a simulated robot on rough terrain, the user can adjust their priorities between these three outcome measures and systematically generate a performance curveassessing the tradeoffs associated with these metrics.
