Terminal weight and constraint design for wave energy converter economic model predictive control problems

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, Volume 35, Issue 7, Page 2694-2716, 10 May 2025.
Abstract The wave energy converter (WEC) control problem aims to make the best use of wave excitation to maximize energy capture and ensure safe operation across a broad range of sea states. This falls into the recently developed economic model predictive control (EMPC) framework, subject to wave excitation being treated as a predictable additive ...

Threshold‐Based Approach for Disaster Mapping Using Long‐Term Multispectral Image Series

Transactions in GIS, Volume 29, Issue 3, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Change detection is a type of technique applied to remotely sensed data to map temporal changes. This approach serves as a vital tool for assessing the impacts of disasters, offering large‐scale data acquisition at a lower cost. This study introduces a novel fully automatic and computationally efficient change detection technique designed for ...

Four-quadrant force control with minimal ripple for linear switched reluctance machines

CES Transactions on Electrical Machines and Systems, 2020
Linear switch reluctance machine (LSRM) has been tried to act as an alternative generator for direct drive linear wave energy converter (WEC). Many researchers have proposed new topologies of LSRM to improve the power density, efficiency and reliability.

On the inherent correlation between the fluidization and flow properties of cohesive powders

AIChE Journal, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract In this study, we investigate the correlation between fluidization behavior and flow properties of 10 commercially available cohesive powders through fluidization and rotating drum experiments. The rotating drum was operated at high speeds to aerate the powder, creating flow fields and stress conditions comparable to those in gas–solid ...
