On September 22 to 25, 2009, an International Workshop on Intelligent Systems and Adaptive Control in Energy Systems was successfully co-organized by the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Idaho State University (ISU), U.S. at the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics. Research Professor Feng Lin of the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics and Professor Marco P. Schoen in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Idaho State University jointly presided the workshop. Research Professor Chaoqun Nie and other researchers in the Key Laboratory of Advanced Energy and Power attended the workshop.

　　During the workshop, Professor Marco P. Schoen visited a vertical three-stage compressor bench, a horizontal single-stage compressor bench and a wind tunnel for cascade test in the Laboratory of Advanced Energy and Power, and gave talks entitled Intelligent Systems and Adaptive Control, and Research on Hybrid Algorithms of Intelligent Systems at ISU. Professor Feng Lin gave a talk on applications of intelligent systems and adaptive control to design and optimization of compressors. During the workshop, the two sides discussed scientific issues of common interest, and ultimately reached a cooperation agreement on applications of DSP adaptive control to stability control of compressors.
