Optimized Adaptive Control for the MYRRHA Linear Accelerator: Control System Design for a Superconducting Cavity in a Particle Accelerator

Energy forecasts indicate that world primary energy consumption will increase significantly (approximately 37%) by 2040, despite projected improvements in energy efficiency. World electricity demand is expected to increase to almost 80% by 2040 [1]. As a result, electricity usage will increase more rapidly than the share of other energies, even more so when carbon-avoiding technologies are implemented. The security of the energy supply is, and will be, a major concern for the world.
