Gaussian process state-space models (GP-SSMs) are a very flexible family of models of nonlinear dynamical systems. They comprise a Bayesian nonparametric representation of the dynamics of the system and additional (hyper-)parameters governing the properties of this nonparametric representation. The Bayesian formalism enables systematic reasoning about the uncertainty in the system dynamics. We present an approach to maximum likelihood identification of the parameters in GP-SSMs, while retaining the full nonparametric description of the dynamics. The method is based on a stochastic approximation version of the EM algorithm that employs recent developments in particle Markov chain Monte Carlo for efficient identification.

Low cost and high reliability are the main issues considered in power converter design for hybrid electric vehicle. In this paper, a hybrid power converter is proposed for the power flow control of the battery-fuel cell hybrid electric vehicle. The converter consists of a unidirectional Γ Z-source converter and a bidirectional DC-DC converter. By controlling the voltage of the Z source capacitor and the modulation index of the inverter, the power flow between the fuel cell, battery and the load can be controlled flexibly. The different operation modes of the system and the power flow control strategies are analysed. To verify the validity of the proposed power converter topology and the control methods, system simulation model is developed in Matlab/Simulink environment. In addition, the simulation model is also implemented in the RT-LAB real-time simulator. The simulation results demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed methods.

This paper presents a new method to estimate rotor position indirectly for 12/8 switched reluctance motor (SRM). In this method, searching windings and main windings are wound on stator together. The structure of searching windings is designed to reduce induced voltages caused by main windings. High frequency voltage is applied to searching windings and the position signal is derived from induced high frequency signals. High frequency voltage can be injected from standstill to high speed in this method, thus it can operate in a wide speed range. The proposed method is implemented on a 12/8 SRM and the experimental results demonstrate the validity of this method.

This paper is concerned with the design of positive observers for positive interval systems with time delay. For that, a solution based on LMI programming is provided to the problem of designing observers that ensure guaranteed bounds on the estimated states that are nonnegative whenever the initial conditions are nonnegative. Furthermore, it is revealed that an unstable positive system cannot be positively stabilized without taking into account the positivity of the dynamic errors. Then, the problem of positive stabilization by dynamic feedback controllers based observer is investigated, taking into account that the positivity of the error signals is necessary to stabilize a positive system and keep it positive at the same time. We derive then necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of positive observers and show that the solvability can be decided via LMI (Linear Matrix Inequalities) programming techniques.

Sensory environments for healthcare are commonplace nowadays. A patient monitoring system in such an environment deals with sensor data capture, transmission and processing in order to provide on-the-spot support for monitoring the vulnerable and critical patient. A fault in such a system can be hazardous on the health of the patient. Therefore, such a system must be dependable and ensure reliability, fault-tolerance, safety and other critical aspects, in order to deploy it in real scenario. This paper encounters some of these issues and proposes a component platform to develop a flexible framework with specific support for fault tolerance and safe inter-component communication related QoS aspects. The platform adopts the Service Component Architecture (SCA) model and defines a Data Distribution Service (DDS) binding, which provides the fault tolerance and the required safety-ensuring techniques and measures, as defined in the IEC 61784-3-3 standard.

This paper shows a study about circulating current of modular multilevel converter (MMC) based a high voltage direct current (HVDC) system under some unbalanced grid conditions. A basic structure of the MMC HVDC system is introduced and its system dynamics is analyzed. Based on the analysis, the modeling of circulating current and its control method under balanced or unbalanced grid condition are described. From the point of view in circulating current control, two kinds of power control methods are analyzed and their performances compared. In addition, in order to apply the power control methods, some practical considerations are proposed and described. Several simulation results performed in the PSIM software verify the proposed analysis and consideration of the power control methods under various grid conditions.

This paper proposes a solution for solving a specific problem that requires a team of identical robots to collect in a specific order different types of resources scattered throughout an environment. A Petri net with outputs models the environment, the team possible movements and the regions with resources. An iterative solution plans the team such that each robot collects and assembles resources in the required order. Each iteration step is based on a linear programming problem that is guaranteed to return a feasible firing vector for the Petri net system. A pseudocode description of the procedure is given and a simulation example is included.
