This paper shows adaptive control using RHPC(Receding Horizon Predictive Control) with equality constraint which applied to Electric Furnace. The control strategy includes monotonic weighting (improving transient response) and pre-filtering (enhancing robustness), which is effective on real process. We can observe the performance of RHPC and confirm the practical aspect of RHPC with unmodelled dynamics through the experiment of Electric Furnace. Finally, this paper verifies the feasibility of RHPC to real process.

Model Based Predictive Control(MBPC) has been widely used in predictive control since 80's. GPC[1] which is the superset of many MBPC strategies a popular method, but GPC has some weakness, such as insufficient stability analysis, non-applicability to internally unstable systems. However, CRHPC[2] proposed in 1991 overcomes the above limitations. So we chose RHPC based on CRHPC for electric furnace control. An electric furnace which has nonlinear properties and large time delay is difficult to control by linear controller because it needs nearly perfect modelling and optimal gain in case of PID. As a result, those controls are very time-consuming. In this paper, we applied RHPC with equality constraint to electric furnace. The reults of experiments also include the case of RHPC with monotonic weighting improving the transient response and including unmodelled dynamics. So, This paper proved the practical aspect of RHPC for real processes.

This paper proposes a receding horizon predictive control (RHPC) for nonlinear time-delay systems. The control law is obtained by minimizing finite horizon cost with a terminal weighting functional. An inequality condition on the terminal weighting functional is presented, under which the closed-loop stability of RHPC is guaranteed, A special class of nonlinear time-delay systems is introduced and a systematic method to find a terminal weighting functional satisfying the proposed inequality condition is given for these systems. Through a simulation example, it is demonstrated that the proposed RHPC has the guaranteed closed-loop stability for nonlinear time-delay systems.

In this paper, we suggest a design scheme of receding horizon predictive control(RHPC) for boiler-turbine systems whose dynamics are given in nonlinear equations. RHPC is designed for linear state space models which are obtained at a nominal operating point of the boiler-turbine system. In this consideration, the boiler is operated in a sliding pressure mode, in which the reference value of drum pressure is changing according to the electrical power generation. The reference values of the system outputs are prefiltered before they are fed to the RHPC in order to compensate the linearization errors. Simulation results show that the proposed controller provides acceptable performances in both of the cases of 'steep and small changes' and 'slow and large changes' of power demand and yields the effect of modest coordination of conventional PID schemes such as boiler-following and turbine-following control.

High performance concrete (HPC) is widely used in civil engineering due to its high durability and low permeability etc. Compared with ordinary concrete, HPC may develop much higher AS (autogenous shrinkage) at early age due to the relative low water cement (w/c) ratio and adding of mineral admixtures, which is one of the main reasons for early age micro-cracking of HPC structures. This paper studies the early age property of HPC columns under similar construction-site surroundings by embedded strain transducers. Results show that for HPC structure, early-age autogenous shrinkage especially within the first day after concrete pouring is pretty large. AS within the first day are 60% larger than those for 14 days in this research for all specimens. Therefore it should be taken into account for structure durability. By comparison of PHPC (plain HPC column) and RHPC (reinforced HPC column) specimens, the effects of reinforced bars on AS and temperature distribution have been analyzed. Also the influence of w/c ratio on AS is demonstrated.

The strength development of PFA concretes were invest~gated in this study. The work undertaken was divided into two parts which considered both the influence of PFA replacement level up to 45% and the effect of cement type at the high PRA leveI(45%). The additiorlal cement considered included a rapdhardemng portland ccnlent. The full range of concrete struc tural grades were studied anti ciight cu~ing contlltiorls covering those 11:ied 111 practlce were examined. The early strength retluced wit11 increasing PFA content. However, post 28days, the reverse was observed. It was posslhle through the use of rapid hardening portland cement at the high PFA level to achieve similar early strength to OPC concrete, with the same benefits noted above also being obtained post 28 days. The compressive strength uf hlgh PYA content concrt:tes at hgh temperature m s found to be higher than the ccmtrol at all ages hoth in water and alr. The same trends were observed at low t.ernperature in air. However, the reverse occur-ed at the low temperature In water.
