Adaptive control of a solar energy plant : Exploiting accessible disturbances
TL;DR: In this paper, a temperature control in an industrial-scale distributed collector solar field is discussed. But the control problem consists of keeping constant the field outlet oil temperature by acting on the oil flow, which is chosen so as to minimize a receding horizon quadratic cost.

Journal ArticleDOI
Discrete-time differential systems
TL;DR: A coherent discrete-time signals and systems theory taking derivative concepts as basis is formulated, implying a unified mathematical framework that allows us to approximate the classic continuous-time case when the sampling rate is high or obtain the current discrete- time case based on difference equation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cascade control of a distributed collector solar field
TL;DR: In this paper, an adaptive model based predictive controller exploiting the information conveyed by accessible disturbances (radiation changes and inlet oil temperature) is used, while in the outer loop a PID is employed.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A cooperative multi-robot team for the surveillance of shipwreck survivors at sea
Ricardo Mendonca,Mario Monteiro Marques,Francisco Marques,André Lourenço,Eduardo Vera-Cruz Pinto,Pedro Santana,Fernando Coito,Victor Lobo,Jose Barata +8 more
TL;DR: A robotic team for search and rescue (SAR) operations at sea is presented, capable of search, track and provide basic life support while reporting the position of human survivors to better prepared manned rescue teams.
