Purpose – Based on the inverse kinematics and task space dynamic model, this paper aims to design a high-precision trajectory tracking controller for a 2-DoF translational parallel manipulator (TPM) driven by linear motors. Design/methodology/approach – The task space dynamic model of a...

Solar electrical generating systems are a class of solar energy systems which use parabolic trough collectors (PTC) to produce electricity from sunlight. In order to provide power production, one of the major challenges is to held the collector outlet temperature or steam temperature around of a...
