This paper proposes a novel control for voltage source inverters connected to the grid. The control scheme is based on the droop method, and it uses some estimated variables from the grid such as the voltage and the frequency, and the magnitude and angle of the grid impedance. Hence, the inverter is able to inject independently active and reactive power to the grid. The controller provides a proper dynamics decoupled from the grid impedance. Simulation results are provided in order to show the feasibility of the control proposed.

We develop a hybrid controller that drives a nonholonomic vehicle to the source of a radiation-like signal. The control signal depends only on measurements of the signal, which may be corrupted by noise, and internal states of the controller. The control strategy is inspired by a line minimization-based algorithm for unconstrained optimization of nonlinear functions without gradient information. We state the main properties of the algorithm and then discuss its implementation in a hybrid controller that coordinates the optimization algorithm with vehicle steering. We present semi-global practical convergence and stability results for the closed-loop system. These results are illustrated by simulation and experiment.

A family of hybrid control algorithms is developed that steer a nonholonomic autonomous vehicle to the source of a scalar signal present in the environment. In an idealized setting, we develop a general hybrid control scheme that globally asymptotically stabilizes the vehicle position about the source. Pursuing a practical implementation, a series of perturbations to the family of controllers is introduced, resulting in a semi-global practical stability of the vehicle position about the source. An example of a recently developed conjugate direction-based controller fitting into this family is developed and demonstrated by simulation and experiment.

We consider robustness preserving anti-windup with structured norm-bounded uncertainty. A sufficient condition for the existence of such anti-windup is given, together with an expression for its construction. Existing results in the literature for additive unstructured uncertainty appear as a special case. The so-called IMC (internal model control) anti-windup does not necessarily preserve robustness for the general case.

This paper deals with approximate value iteration (AVI) algorithms applied to discounted dynamic (DP) programming problems. The so-called Bellman residual is shown to be convex in the Banach space of candidate solutions to the DP problem. This fact motivates the introduction of an AVI algorithm with local search that seeks an approximate solution in a lower dimensional space called approximation architecture. The optimality of a point in the approximation architecture is characterized by means of convex optimization concepts and necessary and sufficient conditions to global optimality are derived. To illustrate the method, two examples are presented which were previously explored in the literature.

The stability and robustness of input-constrained model predictive control can be analyzed using the theory of integral quadratic constraints. We demonstrate the existence of improved multipliers when there are only stage constraints. This can significantly reduce the conservatism of any stability analysis, and we illustrate the improved performance with a simple numerical example.

A considerable amount of research has been done on the use of logarithmic quantizers for networked feedback controlsystems. However, most results are developed for the case of a single quantizer (either measurement or control signal quantization). In this paper, we investigate the case of simultaneous input and output quantization for SISO linear output feedback systems. Firstly, we show that the problem of quadratic stabilization via quantized feedback can be addressed with no conservativeness by means of the sector bound approach. Secondly, we provide a bound on the maximal admissible sector bound via a scaled H ¿ optimization problem.
In this paper, the state estimation problem with constrained error variance for linear discrete-time systems is investigated. To this end, in a first stage, the vector variance equation describing the evolution of the...
