Stochastic nonlinear model predictive control for chemical batch processes
Bradford, Eric (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:132, Doctoral thesis, 2020)The chemical industry is a vital part of the world economy transforming raw materials into crucial intermediary products. Batch processes are common in many sectors of the chemical industry, which are gaining in importance ... -
Surface Mapping using Quadcopter
Haugen, Kenneth Eide (Master thesis, 2014)This thesis studies the use of unmanned aerial vehicles to perform ice managementin the Arctic Ocean by gathering information about and physically control the iceenvironment. Such a system is needed for safety reasons as ... -
Techniques for efficient covariance propagation in the Extended/Unscented Kalman Filter based on model reduction
Rønneberg, Frode (Master thesis, 2013)Physical processes gives engineers and researchers challenging task, such as modeling, simulation and control. One of the most important steps in these procedures are the ability to predict the systems behavior, which due ... -
The Design and Implementation of a Control System for an Autonomous Miniature Drilling Rig
Arnø, Mikkel Leite (Master thesis, 2018)The work presented in this thesis is concerned with the control system of the autonomous miniature drilling rig NTNU has entered and competed with in the international Drillbotics competition. A brief listing of the status ... -
The use of Model Predictive Control and Distributed Battery Energy Storage Systems for Primary Frequency Control
Hestdal, Morten Rusten (Master thesis, 2014)Astheworldsenergydemandrisestogetherwithaglobalawarenessoverclimate-changesdue to burning of fossil fuel, and disasters due to accidents at nuclear power plants, thedemand for renewable energy grows. The two most available ... -
Thrust allocation for DP in ice
Wold, Henrik Emil (Master thesis, 2013)The commercial industry has initiated work on how to make it feasible to enter the Arctic seas. Ice loads affects most aspects of the Arctic operation, and the marine crafts must be able to handle them all. The DP control ... -
Topics in nonlinear control.: Output Feedback Stabilization and Control of Positive Systems
Imsland, Lars (Dr. ingeniøravhandling, 0809-103X; 2002:112, Doctoral thesis, 2002)The contributions of this thesis are in the area of control of systems with nonlinear dynamics. The thesis is divided into three parts. The two first parts are similar in the sense that they both consider output feedback ... -
Towards a Degradation-Conscious Control Strategy For Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells in Automotive Applications
Hoang, Kiet Tuan (Master thesis, 2020)In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector traditional combustion vehicles have to be replaced with low-emission alternatives, such as electric vehicles (EV)s and fuel cell (FC) vehicles. As ... -
UAV Path Planning for Ice Intelligence Purposes using NLP
Grimsland, Lars Arne (Master thesis, 2012)As the oil and shipping industry are interested in operating in arctic waters, the need for ice intelligence gathering is rising.The thesis describes the implentation and results of a path planning framework for an UAV ... -
UAV/UAS path planning for ice management information gathering
Stalmakou, Artsiom (Master thesis, 2011)The key objective of this work is the proposition of the path planning strategy for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) intended for information gathering in Arctic environments / ice-infested regions. Two different path planning ... -
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(s) Trajectory Planning for Target Searching and Tracking
Albert, Anders (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:225, Doctoral thesis, 2018)In this thesis, we introduce three trajectory planning algorithms for nonholonomic mobile sensors used for target tracking and the extended problem target searchings and tracking. These problems are motivated by the ...
