An Effective Finite Control Set-Model Predictive Control Method for Grid Integrated Solar PV by Iresha Poonahela (16876005)

“…An effective control scheme that employs only FCS-MPC in the entirety of its control layer is proposed, where three control objectives; the regulation of the dc-link voltage, the injection of active power, and the injection of reactive power to the main grid have been achieved within a single cost function. The controller avoids translating dc-link voltage deviations to the active power reference and controls all variables directly in the cost function. …”

An Optimal Air-Conditioner On-Off Control Scheme under Extremely Hot Weather Conditions by Mohammed Al-Azba (18597118)

“…By looking up the optimum values solved from an off-line optimization scheme, the proposed control solutions can adaptively regulate the indoor temperature regardless of outdoor temperature variations. In addition, a cost function of multiple objectives, which consider both Coefficient of Performance (COP), and AC compressor weariness due to On-Off switching, is designed for the optimization target of minimum cost. …”

An efficient failure-resilient mutual exclusion algorithm for distributed systems leveraging a novel zero-message overlay structure by Mouna Rabhi (17086969)

“…The current tree-based ME algorithms often overlook considerations for node/link failures or offer costly methods for failure recovery. The proposed algorithm overcomes these limitations by providing an effective solution to maintain a logarithmic cost in case of node failures. …”
