In many system identification methods, process model parameters are considered stochastic variables. Several methods do not only yield expectations of these, but in addition their variance, and sometimes higher moments. This paper proposes a method for robust synthesis of the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller, taking parametric process model uncertainty explicitly into account. The proposed method constitutes a stochastic extension to the well-studied minimization of integrated absolute error (IAE) under H_∞-constraints on relevant transfer functions. The conventional way to find an approximate solution to the extended problem is through Monte Carlo (MC) methods, resulting in high computational cost. In this work, the problem is instead approximated by a deterministic one, through the unscented transform (UT), and its conjugate extension (CUT). The deterministic approximations can be solved efficiently, as demonstrated through several realistic synthesis examples.

The paper deals with two analysis methods which can provide enough information regarding functional steadiness of electric drives using AC motors: frequential analysis method (determine the content of harmonics of the electric specific curves), and fractal analysis method (determine the fractal dimension of specific curves of time variation). The paper shows the complementarity of the two methods and the validity of the new method suggested (fractal analysis/fractal dimension) through the non-contradictory nature concerning the influence of any disturbance on the driving system functional steadiness.

This paper describes a data-driven Randomized Model Predictive control (MPC) approach toward autonomous racing of miniature cars. The main challenge in autonomous racing is to drive as fast as possible, without actually exiting the track. Designing such controllers is a challenging task, since (i) the models of the cars are not entirely accurate, and (//) the time to compute the control inputs is limited to tens of milliseconds. The current practice is to resort to standard MPC, where the safety-related constraints are tightened manually. In this paper, we propose an alternative method based on Stochastic MPC, which naturally introduces robustness by design. We approximate the Stochastic MPC problem by means of randomization, implemented as a sparse Randomized MPC problem. We show that the resulting quadratic program can be solved in the range of milliseconds. Moreover, the sparse Randomized MPC formulation can be interpreted as a standard MPC problem whose constraints are, based on collected data, automatically tightened. We show experimentally that the proposed controller can outperform currently implemented controllers. Our results suggest that Randomized MPC is an attractive alternative to standard controllers, due to its ability to introduce robustness without sacrificing performance.

Recent publications on multilevel converters show different topologies and control to obtain an improvement in the sinusoidal current waveform, controlling de DC voltage and the active/reactive power. This paper presents a 27-level asymmetric multilevel converter for photovoltaic injection using a predictive control algorithm that commands the three-phase converter to control the active power injected to the grid. The analyses include the detailed description of the converter valid states as well as the discrete time model of the equivalent circuit. The control strategy considers a master linear controller in charge to track the Maximum Power Point and a slave loop that includes a predictive controller, which is responsible of the current tracking. The proposal is validated through simulated results that illustrates the dynamic behavior of the converter under irradiance changes.

This article deals with Internet of Things as an integration platform for embedded systems. The problem of traditional hierarchical communication is challenged by direct peer-to-peer communication model among various embedded devices. CoAP protocol is selected as a potential candidate to meet that requirements and enable overall integration among embedded systems and Cloud systems. In addition, there is evaluated an option to use dedicated IoT integration gateway to enable smooth communication of devices with various maturity level protocols. IoT gateway can support protocol translation and various proxy functions for connection with Cloud systems.

This paper proposes a general robust active noise control (RANC) framework for removing power line interference (PLI) from the Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals when both reference and primary signals are contaminated by spike noise. It is obtained by exploiting the robust property of M-estimation function against impulses. According to this new framework, two commonly used methods, namely, least mean squares (LMS) and normalized least mean squares (NLMS), are extended in parallel to least mean M-estimate (LMM) and normalized least mean M-estimate (NLMM), respectively. Experimental results based on the benchmark MIT-BIH Polysomnographic Database show the sufficient capability of our methods for cancelling PLI in EEG signals with noisy observations and excellent performance for rejecting spikes existing in PLI and EEG signals.
