TL;DR: A new modular approach to the design of SISO systems with constrained input is presented which combines the bang-bang minimum time control and the linear pole assignment control into a new minimum time pole assignment (MTPA) controller which is extended by an observer based windupless I-action.

TL;DR: The main new finding is that HO-PID control enables faster transients by simultaneously reducing the negative effects of measurement noise and increasing the closed-loop robustness.
Abstract: In this paper, we discuss the main features of the generalized higher-order proportional-integrative-derivative control (HO-PID) based on the integral-plus-dead-time (IPDT) plant models. It was developed by extending the traditional PI-control to include $m$ th-order derivatives and $n\geq m$ th-order binomial series filters. The HO-PID control provides two additional degrees of freedom, which allow to appropriately modify the speed of the transients and the attenuation of the measurement noise, together with the closed-loop robustness. In this way, it pursues similar goals as an alternative fractional-order PID control. A broad family of the HO-PID controllers with the included low-pass filters is employed to solve a number of new problems. Their integrated suboptimal tuning, based on explicit formulas derived by the multiple real dominant pole (MRDP) method and evaluated by a novel approach that relates the speed of transients to the excessive input and output increments, has been simplified by introducing two integrated tuning procedures (ITPs). The main new finding is that HO-PID control enables faster transients by simultaneously reducing the negative effects of measurement noise and increasing the closed-loop robustness. A brief experimental evaluation using new sensitivity measures fully confirms the excellent HO-PID characteristics and shows that commissioning remains almost as simple as with the filtered PI-control.

TL;DR: In this paper, a DC motor speed control implemented by an embedded controller is presented, which is simple and brings some important changes to the traditional Ziegler-Nichols tuning.
Abstract: This paper deals with the design of a DC motor speed control implemented by an embedded controller. The design is simple and brings some important changes to the traditional Ziegler–Nichols tuning. The design also includes a novel anti-windup implementation of the controller and an integrated noise-reduction filter design. The proposed tuning method considers all important aspects of the control, such as pre-processing of the measured signals and filtering (to attenuate the measurement noise), time delays of the process, modeling and identification of the process, and constraints on the control signal. Three important aspects of designing PI and PID controllers for processes with noisy output on Arduino-type embedded computers are considered. First, it deals with the integrated design of the input filter and the controller parameters, since both are interdependent. Secondly, the method of setting the controllers from step responses by Ziegler and Nichols is modified for the case of digital signal processing (without drawing the tangent), while it recommends the suitability of its modification in terms of the use of both integral and static models. Third, the most suitable anti-windup solution for the given controller structure is proposed. In summary, the paper shows that an appropriate design of the embedded controller can achieve excellent closed-loop performance even in a noisy process environment with limited control signals.

TL;DR: This review gives an overview of definitions of plagiarism, plagiarism detection tools, comparison metrics, obfuscation methods, datasets used for comparison, and algorithm types and identifies interesting insights about metrics and datasets for quantitative tool comparison and categorisation of detection algorithms.
Abstract: Teachers deal with plagiarism on a regular basis, so they try to prevent and detect plagiarism, a task that is complicated by the large size of some classes. Students who cheat often try to hide their plagiarism (obfuscate), and many different similarity detection engines (often called plagiarism detection tools) have been built to help teachers. This article focuses only on plagiarism detection and presents a detailed systematic review of the field of source-code plagiarism detection in academia. This review gives an overview of definitions of plagiarism, plagiarism detection tools, comparison metrics, obfuscation methods, datasets used for comparison, and algorithm types. Perspectives on the meaning of source-code plagiarism detection in academia are presented, together with categorisations of the available detection tools and analyses of their effectiveness. While writing the review, some interesting insights have been found about metrics and datasets for quantitative tool comparison and categorisation of detection algorithms. Also, existing obfuscation methods classifications have been expanded together with a new definition of “source-code plagiarism detection in academia.”

TL;DR: A novel adaptive controller is proposed to mitigate the destructive effect of time-varying uncertain CPLs, aiming to adaptively modify the injecting current of the energy storage system.
Abstract: The performance of a DC microgrid (MG) might degrade because of the dynamics of constant power loads (CPLs). In this paper, a novel adaptive controller is proposed to mitigate the destructive effect of time-varying uncertain CPLs. A nonlinear disturbance observer is developed to estimate the instantaneous power of the CPLs. The estimated CPLs powers are then employed in a Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy-based model predictive control strategy, aiming to adaptively modify the injecting current of the energy storage system. The proposed approach is applied to a dc MG testbed that feeds one CPL. Experimental results show that the proposed adaptive controller is able to increase the stability margin and improve the transient response of the dc MG.

TL;DR: An IoT based real time energy monitoring system for controlling and monitoring of a switchgear industry is discussed and found be useful to the industry to understand the day-to-day energy pattern, which is essential to facilitate energy conservation measures for minimizing energy consumption.
Abstract: An IoT based real time energy monitoring system for controlling and monitoring of a switchgear industry is discussed in the present work. Raspberry Pi has been selected for this purpose due to low cost and a highly reliable technology for monitoring the energy consumption of the industry. The Raspberry Pi is used with Node.js programming language to collect the data (various electrical parameters) from the existing energy meters of the industry and to store it locally, for accessing it through Laptop or mobile phone using Grafana. The monitoring system is found be useful to the industry to understand the day-to-day energy pattern, which is essential to facilitate energy conservation measures for minimizing energy consumption.
