This paper presents a novel real-time overload detection algorithm for distributed control systems (DCSs), particularly applied to thermoelectric power plant environments. The proposed method is integrated with a modular multi-functional processor (MFP) architecture, designed to enhance system reliability, optimize resource utilization, and improve fault resilience under dynamic operational conditions. As legacy DCS platforms, such as those installed at the Tae-An Thermoelectric Power Plant, face limitations in applying advanced logic mechanisms, a simulation-based test bench was developed to validate the algorithm in anticipation of future DCS upgrades. The algorithm operates by partitioning function code executions into segment groups, enabling fine-grained, real-time CPU and memory utilization monitoring. Simulation studies, including a modeled denitrification process, demonstrated the system’s effectiveness in maintaining load balance, reducing power consumption to 17 mW under a 2 Gbps data throughput, and mitigating overload levels by approximately 31.7%, thereby outperforming conventional control mechanisms. The segmentation strategy, combined with summation logic, further supports scalable deployment across both legacy and next-generation DCS infrastructures. By enabling proactive overload mitigation and intelligent energy utilization, the proposed solution contributes to the advancement of self-regulating power control systems. Its applicability extends to energy management, production scheduling, and digital signal processing—domains where real-time optimization and operational reliability are essential. Full article

Most of the processes with various dynamic characteristics can be reduced to the Second Order Plus Time Delay (SOPTD) model by using the model reduction method. We propose a novel hybrid approach that combines Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)-based real-time model identification with Genetic Algorithms to enhance the Smith predictor control structure. This method compensates for the delay time of the SOPTD model while minimizing the Integral Time Absolute Error performance index. Our approach integrates an optimally adaptive Proportional–Integral–Derivative (PID) controller design algorithm that estimates the coefficients of the SOPTD model in the Smith Predictor control structure and adjusts the PID controller parameters dynamically. The method is improved through a combination of numerical calculation, Genetic Algorithms, and LSTM networks, showing approximately 15% better performance compared to conventional methods. The system demonstrates significant improvements in both performance metrics and resource utilization, including a 40% reduction in execution time and enhanced resource efficiency. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme exhibits improved adaptability to disturbances and process variations, with faster response times and reduced overshoots compared to traditional methods. The steady-state response of the higher-order model and the reduced model shows perfect matching for the unit feedback input. Full article
