    Abstract: A system includes a wet extrusion process machine configured to receive, mix, and convey a plurality of ingredients to an extrusion die, the plurality of ingredients include a protein powder, an oil, and water. The system includes an electronic process control system (EPCS) configured to control the wet extrusion machine using a plurality of process settings effective to produce an extrusion die mixture which is forced into, passes through, and is output from the extrusion die. The system further includes a supervisory machine intelligence control system (SMICS) operatively coupled with at least one of a direct fibrosity measurement (DFM) subsystem configured to directly measure one or more physical fibrosity parameters of the extrusion die mixture, and an indirect fibrosity measurement (IFM) subsystem configured to measure one or more extrusion process parameters associated with the extrusion die mixture. The SMICS is configured to modify one or more of the plurality process settings in response to at least one of the one or more physical fibrosity parameters, and the one or more extrusion process parameters, effective to modify the extrusion die mixture.

    Abstract: A method for controlling a three-phase electrical converter including: selecting a three-phase optimized pulse pattern from a table of pre-computed optimized pulse patterns based on a reference flux; determining a two-component optimal flux from the optimized pulse pattern and determine a one-component optimal third variable; determining a two-component flux error from a difference of the optimal flux and an estimated flux estimated based on measurements in the electrical converter; determining a one-component third variable error from a difference of the optimal third variable and an estimated third variable; modifying the optimized pulse pattern by time-shifting switching instants of the optimized pulse pattern such that a cost function depending on the time-shifts is minimized, wherein the cost function aincludes a flux error term and a third variable error term, wherein the flux error term is based on a difference of the flux error and a flux correction function providing a flux correction based on the time-shifts and the third variable error term is based on a difference of the third variable error and a third variable correction function providing a third variable correction based on the time-shifts; and applying the modified optimized pulse pattern to the electrical converter.
