Spring 2022
The dynamic control of heat exchanger network is important for developing energy efficient and safe industrial processes. In Chapter 3 of this work, the uncertainty is considered in inlet temperature of hot stream. The cold stream is bypassed around the heat exchanger. This work aims to track the...

Predictive Control, Estimation and Sensor Placement of Large-Scale Transport-Reaction Systems
DownloadFall 2023
Advanced process control and monitoring rely on the accurate description of complex processes and their dynamic behaviors. Typically, numerous industrial processes are characterized by either partial differential equations (PDEs) or ordinary differential equations (ODEs), depending on whether...

Real-Time Feedback Control of the SAGD Process using Model Predictive Control to Improve Recovery: A Simulation Study
DownloadSpring 2015
Scope of the Work: For over a decade, the oil industry has been moving to “smart fields”, which deploy wells with remotely operated valves and permanently installed downhole sensors for real-time pressure and temperature measurements. Real-time data from these “intelligent wells” provide key...

Robust Probabilistic Slow Feature Analysis for Soft Sensor Development and Model Quality Assessment
DownloadFall 2022
Model predictive control (MPC) is a popular advanced control technology. Unfortunately, over time the behaviour of the plant may deviate from its initial design conditions resulting in model-plant-mismatch. The detection and diagnosis of such mismatches is an important task to ensure that MPC...

Spring 2020
Steam allocation is an important decision to be made for bitumen thermo-recovery using the Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) technique. This is due to the significant amount of steam requirement and often limited steam generation capacity. Steam-to-oil ratio (SOR) is an important parameter...

Fall 2019
This thesis aims to develop a motion control strategy for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to execute a pursuit algorithm based on a vision based object detection algorithm. This enables a pursuer UAV to follow a target UAV based on images obtained from the onboard camera of the pursuer. The UAV...
