The UNED was the first university in the world to develop
and introduce education as a methodology
of controlling disruptive processes
named optimized adaptive control system ADEX.
Given to the practice impact of this methodology,
we were invited to present it at the United Nations Conference
about climate change held in Marrakesh.
Current control systems perform with fixed parameters,
tuned for operating certain conditions.
But if the process has the dynamics
that changes with operating conditions,
parameters are no longer tuned
and the performance of control system gets damaged.
The adaptive control system ADEX that is an international patented
by the ADEX S.L. Company, the spin-off of UNED,
has the capacity to auto-adjust its parameters to changes in operating
dynamics and conditions and keep the process
stable in the optimal operating points.
ADEX has achieved extraordinary results in its industrial application.
Today is used for designing proton accelerator,
from the first reactor for transmutation on an industrial scale
in order to dispose of the nuclear waste.
The ADEX systems applied to the air-conditioning worldwide
could reduce the energy produced for 150 thermal plants
con 1000 MW each
to ensure the desired comfort level.
