This papers aims at using anti-windup augmentation to an existing high performance controller to increase the range of net-power that can be obtained from a solid oxide fuel cell. The power drawn by the fan/blower is kept limited by a software/controller enforced bound that acts similar to a saturation bound. Anti-windup augmentation is then used to ensure stability and recovery of performance. The be-havior of the controller, particularly the effects of the anti-windup loops on the second actuator (cathode inlet temperature), is then investigated to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed approach.

Shock absorbers are crucial components of a vehicle's chassis, responsible for the trade-off between stability, handling, and passenger comfort. Their role is to filter the disturbances imposed to the vehicle body, typically by passive energy dissipation through hydraulic oil. The aim of this research paper is to investigate the physical behavior of an advanced automotive racing shock absorber, known as TTR, developed by Öhlins Racing AB. This goal is achieved by developing a detailed lumped parameter numerical model of the entire TTR suspension in the 1D simulation tool, AMESim. TTR features a through-rod piston design, fully adjustable high and low speed compression and rebound adjusters, and a gas reservoir. The developed numerical model is capable of capturing the physics behind the real shock absorber damping characteristics, under both static and dynamic conditions.
