Additives: Their Influence on the Humidity- and Pressure-Induced Crystallization of Amorphous CaCO3

Esther Amstad, Huachuan Du, Mathias Steinacher

Nature possesses a unique control over the formation of CaCO3 crystals that imparts fascinating mechanical properties to many CaCO3-based biomaterials. This high level of control is, at least in part, achieved through the use of certain soluble additives t ...

Comparison of MPC Formulations for Building Control under Commercial Time-of-Use Tariffs

Maher Kayal

Most medium and large commercial buildings in the U.S. are subject to complex electricity tariffs that combine both Time-of-Use (TOU) energy and demand charges. This study analyses the performances of different economic Model Predictive Control (MPC) formu ...

Brillouin Distributed Optical Fiber Sensor Based on a Closed-Loop Configuration

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Zhisheng Yang, Desmond Chow Ming Chia

A Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) method based on a closed-loop control system is proposed to track fast variations of the Brillouin frequency shift along the sensing fiber. Whilst the method eliminates the gain spectral scanning, the exact ...

Robust Real-Time Control of Power Grids in the Presence of Communication Network Non-Idealities

Mario Paolone, Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Wajeb Saab, Roman Rudnik

Deploying a power grid controller in the field makes it susceptible to message losses caused by the inherent uncertainties and non-idealities of communication networks, especially when the control action is taken at a sub-second time-scale. We consider a c ...
