Impact on Control Loop Performance The February 2011 article on this topic explained how a simple simulation was done to evaluate the effect of a faster temperature response on the performance of a ...

Hobby servos are great, but they’re in many ways not ideal for robotic applications. The good news is that [Adam] brings the latest version of his ServoProject, providing off-the-shelf servos with ...

I recently surveyed the on-site development of the control system for a large concentrated solar power station. This “first of a kind” facility offered many control challenges, such as balancing heat ...

Power plants–especially coal-fired boilers–pose a set of process control problems unparalleled in other industries. Rapid load ramps, continuous unit demand changes, variable fuel quality and process ...

Plant engineers and technicians are frequently asked to tune the controller when a control loop’s process value has prolonged or significant excursions from the set point. But in many instances, no ...

Researchers have made a breakthrough in the control of terahertz quantum cascade lasers that could lead to the ability to transmit data at 100 gigabits per second. The transmission of data at that ...
