On-board voltage regulation for all-electric DC ships ^⁎

In this paper, a control strategy is proposed for the voltage regulation and the shaft speed control of diesel generators on-board of all-electric ships with Direct Current (DC) power and propulsion systems. The proposed methodology is based on Input-Output Feedback Linearization (IOFL) of the prime mover dynamical model. First, a model for...

Effective continuous-flow supply chains using centralized model predictive control

This paper proposes three different formulations of a centralized Model Predictive Control framework to manage the logistics of continuous-flow Supply Chains subject to fluctuating demand. The Supply Chain is modeled as a dynamical system composed of several players handling commodities from the production phase to the retail phase....

A centralised model predictive control framework for logistics management of coordinated supply chains of perishable goods

This paper proposes a centralised model predictive control framework to address logistics management of supply chains of perishable goods. Meeting customer specific requirements is decisive to gain a competitive advantage in supply chain management. This fact motivates stakeholders to address solutions that continuously improve supply chain...
