Interest in bioinspired peristaltic pumps has grown in popularity among the scientific community in the last decade thanks to their extreme flexibility and their intrinsic compliance. In this paper, we propose a soft peristaltic pump exploiting ballooning. ...
This paper proposes a Control by Interconnection design, for a class of constrained Port-Hamiltonian systems, which is based on an associated Model Predictive Control optimization problem. This associated optimization problem allows to consider both state ...
This paper proposes a Linear Parameter-Varying loop-shaping controller for a power-synchronized grid-following inverter (PSGFLI). This control strategy regulates the inverter output active and reactive power at the terminal instead of the point of connecti ...
Today, automatic control is integrated into a wide spectrum of real-world systems such as electrical grids and transportation networks. Many of these systems comprise numerous interconnected agents, perform safety-critical operations, or generate large amo ...
A closed-loop servo control based on the gain ratio of two probing frequencies is proposed for fast BOTDA, where the feedback is independent of probe and pump loss, making it robust in harsh environment. ...
In this paper, a new discrete-time data-driven distributed learning control strategy for frequency/voltage regulation and active/reactive power sharing of islanded microgrids is proposed. Instead of using the static droop relationship and the conventional ...
We address the problem of designing stabilizing control policies for nonlinear systems in discrete-time, while minimizing an arbitrary cost function. When the system is linear and the cost is convex, the System Level Synthesis (SLS) approach offers an effe ...
Traffic congestion constitutes one of the most frequent, yet challenging, problems to address in the urban space. Caused by the concentration of population, whose mobility needs surpass the serving capacity of urban networks, congestion cannot be resolved ...
In recent years, power systems have evolved in physical and cyber-physical layers. In the physical layer, the changes are motivated by environmental concerns resulting in the integration of new types of generation/demand/storage into the grid. These integr ...
