Pressure Retarded Osmosis: Renewable Energy Generation and Recovery
offers the first comprehensive resource on this method of
generating renewable energy. Dr. Khaled Touati and the team of
editors combine their expertise with contributions from other
leaders in the field to create this well-rounded resource, which
discusses and analyses this novel method of creating a controllable
renewable energy. The promises of the PRO technique are first
clearly presented and explained, and the authors then provide a
comprehensive analysis of the issues that remain such as
Concentration Polarization, Membrane Deformation, and Reverse Salt
Diffusion. Possible solutions to these issues which often restrict
industrial implementation are then discussed to mitigate these
detrimental effects, and there is also an emphasis on the recovery
of energy from desalination processes using PRO, which is able to
reduce energy consumption and make it more economically and
environmentally efficient.
A solution permitting the stabilization of 2-dimensional (2-D)
continuous-time saturated system under state feedback control is
presented in this book. The problems of delay and saturation are
treated at the same time. The authors obtain novel results on
continuous 2-D systems using the unidirectional Lyapunov function.
The control synthesis and the saturation and delay conditions are
presented as linear matrix inequalities. Illustrative examples are
worked through to show the effectiveness of the approach and many
comparisons are made with existing results. The second half of the
book moves on to consider robust stabilization and filtering of 2-D
systems with particular consideration being given to 2-D fuzzy
systems. Solutions for the filter-design problems are demonstrated
by computer simulation. The text builds up to the development of
state feedback control for 2-D Takagi-Sugeno systems with
stochastic perturbation. Conservatism is reduced by using slack
matrices and the coupling between the Lyapunov matrix and the
system matrices is broken by using basis-dependent Lyapunov
functions. Mean-square asymptotic stability and prescribed
H-infinity performance are guaranteed. Two-Dimensional Systems
emphasizes practical approaches to control and filter design under
constraints that appear in real problems and uses off-the-shelf
software to achieve its results. Researchers interested in control
and filter design for multidimensional systems, especially
multi-dimensional fuzzy systems, will find this book a useful
resource as will graduate students specializing in dynamical
sytems.
