Structural and Parametric Optimization of Steam Boiler Injection Regulators by G. T. Kulakov, N. V. Voyush

“…Thus, a significant increase in speed and accuracy is achieved when working out internal and external measured disturbances compared to a typical two-circuit system or an invariant automatic control system with an internal model, which makes it possible to recommend the proposed invariant cascade automatic control system for widespread implementation in the field of automation of thermal power processes.…”

An Optimized Path Planning Method for Coastal Ships Based on Improved DDPG and DP by Yiquan Du, Xiuguo Zhang, Zhiying Cao, Shaobo Wang, Jiacheng Liang, Fengge Zhang, Jiawei Tang

“…Hence, this paper improves the reward principle of traditional DDPG through the mainline reward function and auxiliary reward function, which not only helps to plan a better path for ship but also improves the convergence speed of the model. Secondly, aiming at the problem that too many turning points exist in the above-planned path which may increase the navigation risk, an improved DP algorithm is proposed to further optimize the planned path to make the final path more safe and economical. …”
