Revisiting the General Identifiability Problem

Negar Kiyavash, Ehsan Mokhtarian, Yaroslav Kivva, Seyed Jalal Etesami

We revisit the problem of general identifiability originally introduced in [Lee et al., 2019] for causal inference and note that it is necessary to add positivity assumption of observational distribution to the original definition of the problem. We show t ...

Frequency stability assessment of modern power systems: Models definition and parameters identification

Mario Paolone, Yihui Zuo, Giacomo Piero Schiapparelli

One of the fundamental concerns in the operation of modern power systems is the assessment of their frequency stability in case of inertia-reduction induced by the large share of power electronic interfaced resources. Within this context, the paper propose ...

Measurement-system design for structural identification

Numa Joy Bertola

In developed countries, the management of existing civil infrastructure is challenging due to evolving functional requirements, aging and climate change. Due to conservative approaches in construction design and practice, infrastructure often has hidden re ...

Concept of Variants and Invariants for Reaction Systems, with Application to Estimation, Control and Optimization

Diogo Filipe Mateus Rodrigues

The concept of reaction variants and invariants for lumped reaction systems has been known for several decades. Its applications encompass model identification, data reconciliation, state estimation and control using kinetic models. In this thesis, the con ...

Global Identification of Kinetic Parameters via the Extent-based Incremental Approach

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Diogo Filipe Mateus Rodrigues

The identification of reaction kinetics represents the main challenge in building models for reaction systems. The identification task can be performed via either simultaneous model identification (SMI) or incremental model identification (IMI), the latter ...

Parameter identification of a lithium-ion cell single-particle model through non-invasive testing

Mario Paolone, Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Emil Namor, Dimitri Torregrossa

Physics-based models of electrochemical cells are of great interest for the future battery management systems (BMSs), due to their accuracy and capability to predict cell physical states. One of their main disadvantages, when compared to equivalent circuit ...

Biokinetic Model Identification via Extents of Reaction

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Sriniketh Srinivasan

Model structure selection and parameter identification for biokinetic modeling of biological wastewater treatment processes is broadly accepted to be a complicated task. Contributing factors include (i) nonlinear behavior, (ii) lack of knowledge, (iii) lac ...

Two Novel Methods for Parameter Identification of Synchronous Machine Using DC-Decay Test with Rotor in Arbitrary Position

Jean-Jacques Simond, Mai Tu Xuan, Frédéric Michael Maurer

The goal of this paper is to propose and validate standstill DC-Decay measuring methods for a rotor in arbitrary position. The first new method (DC-Decay I) delivers the equivalent circuit with a few measurements. The second new method (DC-Decay III) permi ...

Biokinetic process model diagnosis with shape-constrained spline functions

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Sriniketh Srinivasan

Model-structure identification is important for the optimization and design of biokinetic processes. Standard Monod and Tessier functions are often used by default to describe bacterial growth with respect to a substrate, leading to significant optimizatio ...

Experimental Implementation of Frequency Regulation Service Using Commercial Buildings

Colin Neil Jones, Ioannis Lymperopoulos, Tomasz Tadeusz Gorecki, Faran Ahmed Qureshi, Luca Fabietti, Altug Bitlislioglu

Frequency control reserves are a fundamental mechanism in the current electric power system to preserve the balance between demand and generation of active power at all times. The traditional approach is to exploit conventional power plants for frequency r ...

Incremental model identification of gas-liquid reaction systems

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Sriniketh Srinivasan

Identification of kinetic models is an important task for monitoring, control and optimization of industrial processes. Kinetic models are often based on first principles, which describe the evolution of the states – numbers of moles, temperature and volum ...

Predicting the Usefulness of Monitoring for Identifying the Behavior of Structures

Ian Smith, James-Alexandre Goulet

Structures can be better understood when measurement data are used to improve the modeling of structural behavior. Our capacity to interpret data depends on aspects such as the choice of model class, model parameters (and their range of possible values), a ...

Incremental Model Identification using the Concept of Extents

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Sriniketh Srinivasan

Kinetic models contribute greatly to cost reduction during the process development phase and are also helpful for process monitoring and control purposes. Kinetic models describe the underlying reactions, mass transport and operating conditions of the reac ...

Estimation of modelling errors in structural system identification

Ian Smith, James-Alexandre Goulet

This paper presents a method for measurement-system design through criteria related to model based structural identification. Using a multi-model approach and results from previous research carried out at EPFL, an improved algorithm is proposed. The algori ...
