Industrial Control Systems

This volume serves as a comprehensive guide in the journey of industrial control systems with a multidisciplinary approach to the key engineering problems in the 21st century.

The journey of the control system may be viewed from the control of steam engines to spacecraft, aeroplane missile control systems to networked control systems and cybersecurity controls. In terms of industrial control and application, the journey starts from the design of P-I-D controllers to fuzzy controllers, neuro-fuzzy controllers, backstepping controllers, sliding mode controllers, and event-triggered controls for networked control systems. Recently, control theory has spread its golden feathers in different fields of engineering by use of the splendid tool of the control system. In this era, the boom of the Internet of Things is at its maximum pace. Different biomedical applications also come under this umbrella and provide the easiest way to continuous monitoring. One of the prominent research areas of green energy and sustainable development in which control plays a vital role is load frequency controllers, control of solar thermal plants, an event-driven building energy management system, speed-sensorless voltage and frequency control in autonomous DFIG-based wind energy, Hazardous Energy Control Programs, and many more.

This exciting new volume:

• Offers a complete journey through industrial control systems
• Is written for multidisciplinary students and veteran engineers alike
• Benefits researchers from diverse disciplines with real-world applications
