Nonlinear model predictive control for the ALSTOM gasifier. [PDF]
, 2006 In this work a nonlinear model predictive control based on Wiener model has been developed and used to control the ALSTOM gasifier. The 0% load condition was identified as the most difficult case to control among three operating conditions.

A Comprehensive Mixed-Mode Time-Domain Load- and Source-Pull Measurement System [PDF]
, 2010 We present a novel test set devised for nonlinear balanced device characterization using load-pull techniques. The system is capable of measuring the voltage and current waveforms at the calibration reference planes while independently tuning the device ...

The response of a floating ice sheet to an accelerating line load [PDF]
, 2003 The two-dimensional response of a thin, floating sheet of ice to a line load that accelerates from rest at $t = 0$ to a uniform velocity V for $t \geq T$ is determined through an integral-transform solution of the linearized equations of motion.

Greening Geographical Load Balancing [PDF]
, 2011 Energy expenditure has become a significant fraction of data center operating costs. Recently, "geographical load balancing" has been suggested to reduce energy cost by exploiting the electricity price differences across regions.

Reliability-based load carrying capacity assessment of bridges using structural health monitoring and nonlinear analysis [PDF]
, 2019 For assessment of existing bridges, load rating is usually performed to assess the capacity against vehicular loading. Codified load rating can be conservative if the rating is not coupled with the field data or if simplifications are incorporated into ...
