Control of Distributed Parameter Systems - Engineering Methods and Software Support in the MATLAB & Simulink Programming Environment

Control of energy systems as distributed parameter systems with software support by virtual software environments

“…1). In recent works [2][3][4][5], engineering methods for the control of LDS have been developed, along with software support in the MATLAB & Simulink environment. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the potential of these results for realizing innovations in ES control methodology and development of software support for control of ES as LDS.…”

Steel Billet Continuous Induction Heating – Numerical Model and Advanced Control

“…It results in more efficient billet heating and faster thermal distribution to its core as well. Multi-coil concept of induction heater gives opportunity for control circuit design based on distributed parameter system theory [1,9].…”

“…It provided the process data used in this paper. To decomposition of solved billet temperature dynamics to time and space components, the formulation of lumped-input distributed parameter-output system (LDS) has been used [1,9]. In the linearized region of the chosen steady-state operation regime of inductor heater, the distributed parameter transient characteristics have been computed.…”

“…After the decomposition of dynamics of controlled heating process into the time and space components the control synthesis was solved in space and time domain [5,9]. Distributed parameter system (DPS) control circuit was built-up in DPS Blockset for MATLAB & Simulink -the third-party software product of The MathWorks developed by Hulkó et al [1]. The ability of DPS Blockset to control the numerical models was demonstrated in wide range of thermal applications.…”
