• Adaptive Pitch Controller of a Large-Scale Wind Turbine Using Multi-Objective Optimization 

      Lara, Manuel; Garrido, J.; Ruz Ruiz, Mario L.; Vázquez Serrano, Francisco J. (MDPI, 2021)
      This paper deals with the control problems of a wind turbine working in its nominal zone. In this region, the wind turbine speed is controlled by means of the pitch angle, which keeps the nominal power constant against ...
    • Experiencia de trabajo en equipo: diseño y control de un sistema multivariable de depósitos interconectados 

      Garrido, J.; Ruz Ruiz, Mario L.; Jiménez Hornero, Jorge; Vázquez Serrano, Francisco J. (UCOPress, 2019)
      En este trabajo se presenta una experiencia de trabajo en grupo que pretende mejorar tanto competencias generales (organización, planificación, resolución de problemas, toma de decisiones, etc.) como específicas (modelado, ...
    • Improvement of small wind turbine control in the transition region 

      Ruz Ruiz, Mario L.; Garrido, J.; Fragoso, Sergio; Vázquez, Francisco (MDPI, 2020)
      Wind energy conversion systems are very challenging from the control system viewpoint. The control difficulties are even more challenging when wind turbines are able to operate at variable speed and variable pitch. The ...
    • Interactive Tool for Frequency Domain Tuning of PID Controllers 

      Garrido, J.; Ruz Ruiz, Mario L.; Morilla, Fernando; Vázquez Serrano, Francisco J. (MDPI, 2018)
      This paper presents an interactive tool focused on the study of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers. Nowadays, PID control loops are extensively used in industrial applications. However, it is reported ...
    • Interactive Tuning Tool of Proportional-Integral Controllers for First Order Plus Time Delay Processes 

      Ruz Ruiz, Mario L.; Garrido, J.; Morilla, Fernando; Vázquez Serrano, Francisco J. (MDPI, 2018)
      Engineering education and, particularly, control engineering, has shown growth in research and development activities during last years. Currently, proportional–integral (PI) and proportional–integral–derivative (PID) ...
    • Software Tool for Acausal Physical Modelling and Simulation 

      Jiménez Hornero, Jorge; Belmonte, Antonio; Garrido, J.; Ruz Ruiz, Mario L.; Vázquez Serrano, Francisco J. (MDPI, 2019)
      Modelling and simulation are key tools for analysis and design of systems and processes from almost any scientific or engineering discipline. Models of complex systems are typically built on acausal Differential-Algebraic ...
