The Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) possesses a number of advantages over traditional power generation plants, including increased efficiency, flex-fuel, and carbon capture. A lesser-known advantage of the IGCC system is the ability to coordinate with the smart grid. The idea is that process modifications can enable dispatch capabilities in the sense of shifting power production away from periods of low electricity price to periods of high price and thus generate greater revenue. The work begins with a demonstration of Economic Model Predictive Control (EMPC) as a strategy to determine the dispatch policy by directly pursuing the objective of maximizing plant revenue. However, the numeric nature of EMPC creates an inherent limitation when it comes to process design. Thus, Economic Linear Optimal Control (ELOC) is proposed as a surrogate for EMPC in the formulation of the integrated design and control problem for IGCC power plants with smart grid coordination.

A web refers to any material in continuous flexible strip form which is either endless or very long compared to its width, and very wide compared to its thickness. This paper discusses the dynamic analysis and control of the lateral and longitudinal motions of a moving web which correspond to fluctuations perpendicular and parallel, respectively, to the primary direction of web transport. Historical perspectives are provided, from the early work of Osborne Reynolds in the late 1800s to current research. An overview of the control of both lateral and longitudinal web motion, which includes the control of tension, is presented. Present limitations in understanding and controlling lateral and longitudinal web behavior are discussed. The Journal of Dynamic Systems, Measurement, and Control has played a pivotal role in the advancement of research in this area.
