Recent advances in embedded automation applications require quality of results in terms of speed and computational complexity, along with strict time-to-market schedules. To cope with these demands, the design industry is searching for novel approaches. Performance is sought by utilizing modern FPGA devices, offering hundreds of GFLOPs with maximum power efficiency. Productivity is enforced with modern design methodologies like High-Level Synthesis and Electronic System Level design, that offer an efficient abstraction level to boost-up early prototyping. This paper presents a scalable architecture and a corresponding design methodology for the design of digital controllers, as a reference for modern control applications. The advantages of the proposed methodology are: (a) improved performance through hardware acceleration of demanding application cores, (b) improved quality of results with floating point calculations, (c) flexibility and integration of common peripheral devices supported by a RISC microcontroller, (d) low-overhead scalability from single core to multi core architectures and (e) improved designer productivity by working with C level design descriptions only. Experimental results show that the proposed System-on-Chip architecture is an efficient rapid prototyping platform for digital control applications, with very promising future extension capabilities.

This paper investigates the optimal regulation problem with the steady-state constraints under distributed decision makings, where each agent is allowed to determine its own optimal set-point according to an individual profit. On the other hand, the utility, which corresponds to an individual public commission, tries to realize a socially optimal solution that fulfills steady-state constraints. In order to align the individual decision making of each agent with the socially optimal solution, the utility is allowed to provide additional price, which corresponds to tax or subsidy for the agent. This paper proposes a real-time pricing strategy of the utility. The proposed pricing strategy is heuristic, but we show that the resulting closed-loop system is stable, if the step size parameter in the real-time pricing strategy is sufficiently small, and realizes tracking to the socially optimal solution.

This paper studies semi-global leader-following output consensus of a multi-agent system. Each follower agent in the system, described by a general linear system subject to external disturbances and actuator saturation, is to track the leader agent. Conditions on the agent dynamics are identified under which a low gain feedback based linear state control algorithm is constructed for each follower agent such that the leader-following output consensus is achieved when the communication topology among the agents is a directed graph that contains no loop and the leader is globally reachable. In addition, discussions and simulations are also provided for the output consensus in the presence of actuator saturation.

This paper studies the semi-global leader-following consensus problem for a group of linear systems in the presence of both actuator position and rate saturation. Each follower agent in the group is described by a general linear system subject to simultaneous actuator position and rate saturation. We construct a low gain based linear state feedback control law for each follower agent and show that semi-global leader-following consensus can be achieved by using these control laws when the communication topology among follower agents is a connected undirected graph and the leader is a neighbor of at least one follower. Simulation results illustrate the theoretical results.

Synchronization of coupled oscillators is a pervasive theme of multi-disciplinary research. Focused on circuit-theoretic applications, in this paper, we derive sufficient conditions for global asymptotic synchronization in a system of identical nonlinear circuits coupled through linear time-invariant (LTI) electrical networks. The nonlinear circuits are composed of a parallel combination of passive LTI circuit elements and a nonlinear voltage-dependent current source with finite gain. The terminals of the nonlinear circuits are coupled through LTI networks characterized by either identical per-unit-length impedances or identical effective impedances between any two terminals. This setup is motivated by a recently proposed control strategy for inverters in microgrids. We analyze synchronization by means of an input-output analysis of a coordinate-transformed system that emphasizes signal differences. To apply the synchronization analysis to a broad class of networks, we leverage recent results on Kron reduction-a circuit reduction and transformation procedure that reveals the interactions of the nonlinear circuits. We illustrate our results with simulations in networks of coupled Chua's circuits.

We consider the quantized consensus problem on undirected connected graphs and study its expected convergence time to the set of consensus points. As compared with earlier results on the problem, we improve the convergence speed of the dynamics by a factor of n, where n is the number of agents involved in the dynamics. In particular, we show that when the edges of the network are activated based on a Poisson processes with Metropolis rates, the expected convergence time to the consensus set is at most O(n~2 log n). This upper bound is better than all available results for randomized quantized consensus.

As one of key technologies in photovoltaic converter control, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methods can keep the power conversion efficiency as high as nearly 99% under the uniform solar irradiance condition. However, these methods may fail when shading conditions occur and the power loss can over as much as 70% due to the multiple maxima in I – P curve in shading conditions v.s. single maximum point in uniformly solar irradiance. In this paper, a Real Maximum Power Point Tracking (RMPPT) strategy under Partially Shaded Conditions (PSCs) is introduced to deal with this kind of problems. An optimization problem, based on a predictive model which will change adaptively with environment, is developed to tracking the global maxima and corresponding adaptive control strategy is presented. No additional circuits are required to obtain the environment uncertainties. Finally, simulations show the effectiveness of proposed method.

Recently we studied communication delay in distributed control of untimed discrete-event systems based on supervisor localization. We proposed a property called delay-robustness: the overall system behavior controlled by distributed controllers with communication delay is logically equivalent to its delay-free counterpart. In this paper we extend our previous work to timed discrete-event systems, in which communication delays are counted by a special clock event tick. First, we propose a timed channel model and define timed delay-robustness;for the latter, a polynomial verification procedure is presented. Next, if the delay-robust property does not hold, we introduce bounded delay-robustness, and present an algorithm to compute the maximal delay bound (measured by number of ticks) for transmitting a channeled event. Finally, we demonstrate delay-robustness on the example of an under-load tap-changing transformer.
