This work deals with the problem of estimation of biomass concentration and specific growth rate in a biohydrogen production process. A photo-fermentation process with the photosynthetic bacteria Rhodobacter capsulatus is ...

This work presents a dynamic model for an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), a validation of this model together with the simulator obtained from its application and an implementation of sliding mode reference conditioning ...

This paper addresses the estimation of specific growth rate of microorganisms in bioreactors using sliding observers. In particular, a second-order sliding observer based on biomass concentration measurement is proposed. ...

The development of Multiple Input/Multiple Output (MIMO) sliding mode control setups for a fuel cell/supercapacitor module is presented in this paper. The main objective of the proposed controllers consists in simultaneously ...

A novel extremum seeking scheme is proposed for the optimization of the specific growth rate in fed-batch processes with substrate inhibited kinetics. The proposed controller is based on a high order sliding mode algorithm, ...
