Control Systems Benchmarks II helps control engineers, researchers, and students to evaluate and compare closed-loop control system performance across a range of critical applications by offering a collection of real-world case studies. The book expands on the range of benchmarks provided in the earlier sister volume (978-3-031-76311-3). The range of subjects covered spans applications from clean power production to manufacturing and autonomous systems, including concentrated solar power generation, fast charging of batteries, and nuclear fusion plasma control. Each benchmark represents a complex engineering challenge, allowing readers to design and compare different control and estimation approaches across diverse scenarios. This book follows the consistent chapter structure established in the previous volume, enabling readers to adapt benchmarks to their own interests easily. Each chapter includes:
a brief overview of the benchmark, highlighting its significance and technical hurdles; a detailed problem description, including engineering goals and constraints; benchmark design, including experimental setup, performance metrics, and data collection methods; and access information for downloadable materials and instructions for running simulations or accessing physical platforms.
Whether you're a practitioner looking for usable control solutions, an academic researcher seeking meaningful examples, or a student looking for practical knowledge of control systems,
Control Systems Benchmarks II offers valuable insights and resources to advance your work.
