    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for the control of an industrial asset, such as a power generating asset. Accordingly, an interceptor module receives a state-change instruction from a state module that directs a change from a first state condition to a second state condition. The first and second state conditions direct modes of operation of at least one sub module of the controller of the industrial asset. The interceptor module then correlates the state-change instruction to a state-change classification. Based on the state-change classification, the interceptor module identifies an indication of a mode-switching attack. In response to the identification of the mode-switching attack, at least one mitigation response is implemented.

    Abstract: A system for enhancing a flow of a fluid induced by a rod pumping unit is provided. The system includes one or more sensors and a pumping control unit configured to control stroke movement of the rod pumping unit. The pumping control unit is configured to: (a) initiate at least one stroke of the rod pumping unit; (b) receive sensor data from the one or more sensors; (c) upon determination of a violation of a first set of constraints, make a first adjustment to the current stroke timing, and return to step (a); (d) upon determination of a violation of a second set of constraints, make a second adjustment to the current stroke timing, and return to step (a); and (e) upon determination of no violation of at least one set of constraints make a third adjustment to the current stroke timing, and return to step (a).

    Abstract: A method for providing backup control for a supervisory controller of at least one wind turbine includes observing, via a learning-based backup controller of the at least one wind turbine, at least one operating parameter of the supervisory controller under normal operation. The method also includes learning, via the learning-based backup controller, one or more control actions of the at least one wind turbine based on the operating parameter(s). Further, the method includes receiving, via the learning-based backup controller, an indication that the supervisory controller is unavailable to continue the normal operation. Upon receipt of the indication, the method includes controlling, via the learning-based backup controller, the wind turbine(s) using the learned one or more control actions until the supervisory controller becomes available again. Moreover, the control action(s) defines a delta that one or more setpoints of the wind turbine(s) should be adjusted by to achieve a desired outcome.

    Abstract: A propulsion system includes at least two propulsors. The at least two propulsors each include a fan and a controller having one or more processors configured to implement controller logic. The controller logic includes a phase angle control scheme and a speed control scheme. In implementing the controller logic, the one or more processors are configured to: determine an actual pairwise phase difference between a pair of propulsors of the at least two propulsors; generate a reference phase angle for the pair of propulsors; compare the actual pairwise phase difference to the reference phase angle to generate a phase error; provide the phase error to a phase controller module to generate an output based on the phase error; and adjust a speed of at least one propulsor of the at least two propulsors based on the output to drive the phase error towards zero.

    Abstract: A propulsion system includes at least two propulsors. The at least two propulsors each comprising a fan having a plurality of fan blades. A controller includes memory and one or more processors. The memory stores instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the system to perform the following: determine a pairwise phase difference between one propulsor of the at least two propulsors and another propulsor of the at least two propulsors; generate a reference phase angle; determine a target phase shift for each propulsor of the at least two propulsors; and adjust a speed of each propulsor of the at least two propulsors based on the target phase shift until the pairwise phase difference is equal to the reference phase angle.
