“…This method improves the accuracy of experiments and saves development cost and time whenever one of the components involved in a simulation is available physically. 30,31 In the case of this work, the Hardware in the Loop technique divides the proposed structure into two interconnected units: the solar cooling plant (real) and the fermentation process (model).…”

This work proposes the use of solar radiation as energy source to support energy demands in the optimal control process for ethanol production. The control system proposed for the reactor has two layers: the local one composed by PID (Proportional-Integrative-Derivative) controllers for the pH, level, and temperature loops of the reactor and the master controller which uses an advanced MIMO (Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output) MPC (Model Predictive Control) strategy. The control of the solar cooling system is performed by means of a switching control scheme. Since there is no availability of a practical system which integrates the experimental solar cooling plant and a fermentation unit, the Hardware in the Loop technique has been performed on the plant of Centro de Investigación de Energía Solar (CIESOL), located at the University of Almería (Spain), interconnected with a simulator that represents the ethanol fermentation in Brazilian factories. Three scenarios are analyzed in detail, in which the increments in ethanol production are shown.

“…Rapid target glint and background scene generation, without major restrictions on target location, target motion or observer motion are needed for compact range Hardware in the Loop (HWIL) seeker testing and characterization [1][2][3][4][5]. Traditional mechanical beam steering approach lacks in speed and versatility, limiting its application.…”

A W-band target glint and background scene generator is developed for compact range hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) seeker testing and characterization. The device comprises an Electronically Controlled Beamformer (ECB) capable of real time generation of wide variety of wavefronts in the near field of the system under test (SUT). The fine-pixelized ECB aperture with individual control of each pixel allows (in particular) formation of radar returns in a compact range by focusing and steering the (focused) Millimeter Wave (MMW) beam on the SUT aperture. Unlike compact range systems using limited number of radiators and focal plane optics, fine-pixelized ECB allows full glint simulation over SUT's field of view. ECB is compatible with currently used retransmitter and waveform simulator. We present the results of a simulation of the device's operation and compare them with the experiment. Major attention in both the simulations and the measurements was paid to the field distribution in the near-field region of the device.
