Abstract

In recent decades controllers play a major role for an efficient control and reliable operation of an industrial process. Hence in this paper, a special kind of Commande Robuste d’Ordre Non Entier (CRONE) controller is designed for controlling the speed of DC Motor (DCM). The proper design procedure of two generations CRONE control strategies named as First-Generation CRONE (FGC) and Second-Generation CRONE (SGC) controllers are implemented through the transfer function of armature-controlled DCM. Simulations are performed on MATLAB software in order to investigate the servo responses of two designed CRONE controllers, besides the results are presented in terms of settling time(ts), rise time(tr), Integral Square Error (ISE) and Integral Absolute Error (IAE). In addition, the relay PI controller is designed and the simulation results are presented for comparison purpose. It is evident from the comparing results that the SGC controller is superior for effective process control.

Abstract

Emerging global demand for clean and sustainable energy has intensified research into efficient methods of solar energy capture and storage. Among various renewable energy storage technologies, salt gradient solar ponds (SGSPs) have emerged as a reliable and cost-effective solution. This study presents an advanced experimental evaluation of a trapezoidal SGSP using magnesium sulphate (MgSO₄) as the salinity medium to enhance heat storage performance and system stability. A laboratory-scale trapezoidal pond with a depth of 30 cm was constructed using 18 mm thick plywood and an optimized 16% MgSO₄ concentration (SGSP-M16) was employed to maintain thermal stratification. Experiments conducted over a four-month period in Salem, Tamil Nadu, India, involved detailed energy and temperature analysis across upper convective zone (UCZ), non-convective zone (NCZ), and lower convective zone (LCZ). Results revealed maximum temperature difference of 28 °C among UCZ and LCZ, with LCZ achieving peak energy efficiencies of 25.24%, 26.80%, 28%, and 32.09% from January to April, respectively. These findings confirm the effectiveness of the trapezoidal MgSO₄ based SGSP as a sustainable and scalable system for renewable energy storage and efficient thermal management, suitable for applications such as desalination, greenhouse heating, and industrial preheating.
