Control Configuration Selection for Multivariable Plants



This book focuses on control configuration selection or the input-output pairing problem, which is defined as the procedure of selecting the appropriate input and output pair for the design of SISO (or block) controllers. An improper input-output pairing selection can be detrimental to closed loop stability and performance. The main objective in selecting an appropriate control configuration is to minimize the loop interactions. This will facilitate the single input single output independent design that is the basis of many industrial control systems.


This book is the first monograph to deal in depth with the issue of control configuration selection. It is designed and written to serve the needs of a wide audience working in the area of decentralized control systems both in the academia and industry. The engineers and students interested in control configuration selection techniques, engineers already acquainted with the basic concepts and willing to be familiar with the more advanced strategies and postgraduate students who in addition to the aforementioned points want to get to the frontiers of research in the field may find this book useful.

Robert Hastings, Maria Wall, "Sustainable Solar Housing: Strategies and Solutions"




This far-reaching and authoritative two-volume set examines a range of potential solutions for low-energy building design, considering different strategies ( energy conservation and renewable energy) and technologies (relating to the building envelope, ventilation, heat delivery, heat production, heat storage, electricity, and control). Each volume assesses the potential of these options in a variety of contexts, covering different housing types (apartment, row, and detached) and different climate types (cold, temperate, and mild). The impressive list of authors includes a mix of internationally respected academics and practitioners, working under the auspices of a five-year International Energy Agency (IEA) research project.

Volume 1 presents strategies and solutions, offering the reader a solid platform for assessing strategies environmentally and economically, and implementing the most appropriate course of action in a variety of contexts. This will appeal to energy consultants, engineers, specialized architects, engineering and architecture students, and housing specialists.

Home Built Model Turbines By Kurt Schreckling



Kurt Schreckling was born in 1939- His first practi­cal experience of model aircraft came at the age of five, when he transformed a tangled-up kite into an aeroplane. Over the years that followed, not only did he build a great number of model aircraft, he also developed several of his own remote controllers.
He was aged eleven when he first saw Vampire jet planes in the sky. That turned out to be a defining moment in his life. Study of a small encyclopedia gave him the belief that he could come up with a simple way of constructing a turbine. However, it took almost four decades before he finally started work in earnest at ful­filling his youthful dream. Today, people like to refer to him asthe "inventor", the "pope of turbines" or also as the "father of turbines". None of that is really true. Instead, he prefers to see himself as one in a long line of fathers of model jet turbines.
He received a basic technical education and went on to study physics at university. He then worked for 32 years as a qualified engineer for a large Rhine-based chemical company. In his job he gained experience of different technical areas, none of which ever involved turbines. He was happy to take early retirement in 1999. Having completed his book about turbo props, he feared that he might have to retire as turbine developer as well. However, as it turned out. this was notthe case.
Kurt Schreckling cannot deny his special love of good food. Indeed, flying model aircraft is not his only vice. He was also tempted into off-the-wall experiments with skis in the snow, exploring the effects of gravitational forces. lTp until now he has managed to come through il all unscathed.
