Hydrogen production impacts for drought resilience planning

University of Sheffield Department of Civil and Structural Engineering

A reliable water supply and a successful energy transition are two necessary conditions for a sustainable future. Yet we know little about how the switch to intermittent renewables (wind, solar) for our energy supply will affect the future operation of our water infrastructure. Read more

Application of predictive control to fast systems

University of Sheffield Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering

Predictive control is relatively unwieldy and therefore does not lend itself to applications requiring fast sample rates. However many recent developments have looked at how the algorithm can be implemented both more efficiently in time and with relatively simple coding requirements. Read more

Supervisor: Dr JA Rossiter

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Predictive control of non-linear and/or robust systems

University of Sheffield Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering

Predictive control is by now a well established methodology whereby one bases the design of the control law on the optimisation of system predictions. Read more

Supervisor: Dr JA Rossiter

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Multi-rate and/or non square systems and/or decentralised control

University of Sheffield Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering

In many chemical processes there are limitations on the sampling rates and the number of inputs and outputs may not match. This affects the structure of the control law as one ends up with a so called multi-rate or non-square system , for which conventional control design is not applicable. Read more

Identification and classification of coherent flow structures in the plasma of the Sun’s photosphere

University of Sheffield Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering

The Sun is a star with a cyclic magnetic activity that can impact all the solar system. Thus, the solar magnetic field can interact with the Earth's magnetic field, permitting the entrance of energetic particles in the upper atmosphere, affecting technological devices, telecommunications and human health.
