Sun, Hao (author), Wang, Haiqing (author), Yang, M. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)To maintain continuous production, chemical plant operators may ignore faults or handle faults online rather than shutting down process systems. However, interaction and interdependence links between components in a digitalized process system are substantial. Thus, faults will be propagated to downstream nodes, potentially leading to risk...journal article 2024

Mr. Wang, Q. (author), Xu, Tangjie (author), von Terzi, D.A. (author), Xia, Wei (author), Wang, Zhenhai (author), Zhang, Haoran (author)In existing wind farms, the overall power output can be increased through yaw control. However, the cooperative control of start/stop, yaw and turbines positions is often overlooked, leading to wake superposition to downstream wind turbines and suboptimal power output. This paper proposes a synchronized optimized method that considers start...journal article 2024
