The wave energy converter control competition (WECCCOMP): Wave energy control algorithms compared in both simulation and tank testing (2023)
Journal Article
Ringwood, J. V., Tom, N., Ferri, F., Yu, Y. H., Coe, R. G., Ruehl, K., …Faedo, N. (2023). The wave energy converter control competition (WECCCOMP): Wave energy control algorithms compared in both simulation and tank testing. Applied Ocean Research, 138, Article 103653. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apor.2023.103653

The wave energy control competition established a benchmark problem which was offered as an open challenge to the wave energy system control community. The competition had two stages: In the first stage, competitors used a standard wave energy simula...

Improved control strategies for the environment within cell culture bioreactors (2023)
Journal Article
Jones, J., Kindembe, D., Branton, H., Lawal, N., Montero, E. L., Mack, J., …Montague, G. (2023). Improved control strategies for the environment within cell culture bioreactors. Food and Bioproducts Processing, 138, 209-220. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fbp.2023.02.004

This paper describes the development of improved control strategies for the standard environmental conditions in a fed-batch bioreactor used for monoclonal antibody cell culture. The consequences of relying on fixed parameter PID based controllers ar... Read More about Improved control strategies for the environment within cell culture bioreactors.

Actuator fault tolerant offshore wind turbine load mitigation control (2023)
Journal Article
Liu, Y., Patton, R. J., & Shi, S. (2023). Actuator fault tolerant offshore wind turbine load mitigation control. Renewable energy, 205, 432-446. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2023.01.092

Offshore wind turbine (OWT) rotors have large diameters with flexible blade structures which are subject to asymmetrical loads caused by blade flapping and turbulent or unsteady wind flow. Rotor imbalance inevitably leads to enhanced fatigue of blade... Read More about Actuator fault tolerant offshore wind turbine load mitigation control.

Wind turbine asymmetrical load reduction with pitch sensor fault compensation (2020)
Journal Article
Liu, Y., Patton, R. J., & Shi, S. (2020). Wind turbine asymmetrical load reduction with pitch sensor fault compensation. Wind energy, 23(7), 1523-1541. https://doi.org/10.1002/we.2496

Offshore wind turbines suffer from asymmetrical loading (blades, tower, etc), leading to enhanced structural fatigue. As well as asymmetrical loading different faults (pitch system faults etc.) can occur simultaneously, causing degradation of load mi...
