TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give an overview of the recent development and benefits of model predictive control in wind turbines and its future potential, and in particular give a survey of the use of Model Predictive Control (MPC) on wind turbines.
Abstract: This paper aims to give an overview of the recent development and benefits of model predictive control in wind turbines and its future potential. For a modern large wind turbine, the main objective of control is to maximise the power production while maintaining the fatigue loads to be minimal. With such multiple objectives, a multivariable system and actuators constraints the popular PI controller may become ineffective or hard to tune whereas MPC provides a systematic approach for designing a multivariable controller incorporating the knowledge of actuator constraints. This paper reviews the wind turbine control problem and in particular gives a survey of the use of model predictive control on wind turbines.

TL;DR: The proposed algorithm removes the need to solve a standard Sylvester equation or to invert a matrix, and a significant computational advantage is obtained by exploiting the structure of the involved matrices.

TL;DR: A new and straightforward method for controlling spatially distributed plants based on low-order models obtained from spatial discretization techniques, based on weighted models of small state-dimension, which avoids the numerical problems inherent in large-scale model reduction based approaches.

TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Abstract: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality. Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

TL;DR: To the best of our knowledge, there is only one application of mathematical modelling to face recognition as mentioned in this paper, and it is a face recognition problem that scarcely clamoured for attention before the computer age but, having surfaced, has attracted the attention of some fine minds.
Abstract: to be done in this area. Face recognition is a problem that scarcely clamoured for attention before the computer age but, having surfaced, has involved a wide range of techniques and has attracted the attention of some fine minds (David Mumford was a Fields Medallist in 1974). This singular application of mathematical modelling to a messy applied problem of obvious utility and importance but with no unique solution is a pretty one to share with students: perhaps, returning to the source of our opening quotation, we may invert Duncan's earlier observation, 'There is an art to find the mind's construction in the face!'.

TL;DR: This introduction to infinite dimensional linear systems theory helps people to enjoy a good book with a cup of tea in the afternoon, instead they juggled with some harmful bugs inside their laptop.
Abstract: Thank you very much for downloading introduction to infinite dimensional linear systems theory. As you may know, people have search numerous times for their favorite novels like this introduction to infinite dimensional linear systems theory, but end up in malicious downloads. Rather than enjoying a good book with a cup of tea in the afternoon, instead they juggled with some harmful bugs inside their laptop.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present applications of modal analysis techniques to study, model, and control canonical aerodynamic flows, including cylinder wakes, wall-bounded flows, airfoil wakes, and cavity flows.
Abstract: We present applications of modal analysis techniques to study, model, and control canonical aerodynamic flows. To illustrate how modal analysis techniques can provide physical insights in a complementary manner, we selected four fundamental examples of cylinder wakes, wall-bounded flows, airfoil wakes, and cavity flows. We also offer brief discussions on the outlook for modal analysis techniques, in light of rapid developments in data science.
