Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, there have been increasing concerns regarding increases in energy demand and global warming, and reductions in greenhouse gases. To reduce carbon dioxide emissions, energy consumption must be reduced by improvements in energy efficiency in the industrial and commercial sectors. Better-controlled performance, improvements in energy intensity and significantly reduced energy consumption are the goals of many manufacturing and commercial facilities. The integration of a monitoring system, data analytics, fault diagnosis and advanced control techniques would increase energy savings.  

This proposed Special Issue aims to highlight all relevant aspects of the advanced control, monitoring, and system integration of energy systems related to their theory, design, modelling, data analytics methods and application in energy efficiency improvement applications. The focus will be on the most innovative approaches in terms of challenges, requirements, methodologies, technologies, and smart applications.

Topics of interest for publication include (but are not limited to):

  • Advanced modelling approaches;
  • Advanced control techniques (predictive, fuzzy, neural network, etc.);
  • Fault diagnosis;
  • Online and offline condition monitoring techniques;
  • Optimal design methodologies;
  • Energy management;
  • Internet of thing (IOT);
  • Intelligent system;
  • Smart manufacturing;
  • Data analytics;
  • Fault detection;
  • Artificial Intelligent (AI).

This paper presents a comprehensive study of model-based fault diagnosis (FD) and a fault-tolerant control (FTC) scheme for sensor and actuator faults of turbojet engines. For actuator FD, an unbiased estimation scheme with a modified Kalman filter (KF) was developed. For sensor FD, two approaches, the generalized likelihood ratio with robust KF and the pseudo actuator model with modified KF, were investigated in a comparative study. For fault detection and isolation, test statistics are commonly employed to detect fault behavior. For FTC, integral-type sliding mode control using control reconfiguration and the reconstruction of the sensor signal was adopted with the FD schemes. The effectiveness of the employed methods was demonstrated in this study and discussed with numerical simulations. Full article
