This paper investigates the effect of the integrator gain on subharmonic oscillation boundary in switching converters with fixed frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) with an integrative feedback loop. First, the exact state-space switched model of the converter is revisited and then a closed-form expression for predicting this phenomenon is presented. The use of this expression is illustrated by means of two different examples f switching converters. While in voltage mode control, the integral action can be ignored for predicting subharmonic oscillation, it is shown the integral action in the current loop has a significant effect on this phenomenon.

Recently distributed integral controllers relying on averaging and communication have been proposed as effective means for optimal frequency regulation in power systems, load balancing of network flows, and as natural extensions to static consensus controllers. Typically, only the questions of stability, disturbance rejection, and steady-state resource allocation are addressed in the literature, and the problems of transient performance and optimal communication network design remain open. In this paper we consider the optimal frequency regulation problem and propose a principled heuristic to identify the topology and gains of the distributed integral control layer. We employ an l1-regularized H2-optimal control framework as a means for striking a balance between network performance and communication requirements. The resulting optimal control problem is solved using the alternating direction method of multipliers algorithm. For the IEEE 39 New England benchmark problem, we demonstrate that the identified sparse and distributed integral controller can achieve reasonable performance relative to the optimal centralized controller. Interestingly, the identified control architecture is directed and correlates with the generator rotational inertia and cost coefficients.

We have previously showed that it is possible to achieve parameter identification of discrete-time structured uncertainties without requiring persistency of excitation when using Concurrent Learning. Instead, granted a less restrictive condition compared to that of persistency of excitation is verified, exponential convergence of parameter estimates to their true values ensues. The present study applies the previously developed discrete-time Concurrent Learning adaptation law within a control loop for discrete-time adaptive control of a discrete-time single-state plant containing structured uncertainties. Provided that the same condition as for the standalone estimation is met, we can prove exponential convergence of the tracking error and parameter error to zero without necessitating persistency of excitation.

In this work, a set of sufficient conditions that guarantee consensus towards a pre-specified target state in double-integrator leader-follower proximity-based networks are derived. Since only the leader agents are aware of the global objective and proximity-based communication between agents is considered, the follower agents must not lose contact to the leaders. We establish a connectivity analysis framework which is used to show that the initial network topology is maintained if the ratio of leaders-to-followers and the magnitude of the goal attraction force experienced by the leaders are below certain bounds. Various network topologies are examined, starting from a complete graph and extending to incomplete graphs. The theoretical results are illustrated by simulations.

In this paper, we revisit the Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller design for torque control of robotic manipulators, for which, appropriate tuning of the said controller could prove very burdensome, especially with increasing degrees-of-freedom (DOF) and/or when designing a Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) PID controller. That is, when generating and tuning matrix P-I-D gains as opposed to single values, in order to take in account possible coupling effects between involved joints. We tackle both joint space and workspace PID control tuning problems for reference tracking from an optimization standpoint. Using a previously developed stable Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimizer, we are able to automatically and systematically tune P-I-D gains, be it as single gain values or gain matrices, while optimizing a cost or fitness function. The aforesaid cost function can be arranged to feature various aggregated performance measures, `normalized' so as to overcome differences in scale if any. Taking in account some practical limitations, a 2-DOF arm is used here as a case study. Numerical simulations are provided to substantiate the adequacy of our method.

In this paper, we consider the design of linear precoding in Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) Power Line Communication (PLC) systems with finite-alphabet input. First, we derive mutual information of MIMO-PLC systems with impulsive noise. Considering the non-concavity of the objective function and the low-cost requirement of PLC systems, we choose the lower bound of the mutual information as the objective function. Subsequently, we propose a novel approach to design the precoding scheme to reduce computational complexity. Specifically, our work primarily includes the following two contributions: (1) We design the right unitary matrix that is a product of two fixed unitary matrices, which only depends on the modulation mode. Hence, the results can be saved and require less computations. (2) For the power allocation matrix, we first reduce the space of power allocation using constraints of the optimal power allocation policy. Consequently, we propose a non-linear search method to obtain the optimal power allocation in small space. In regards to the computational complexity of the analysis, we conclude that the proposed precoding matrix design scheme has low complexity and is easy to implement. Moreover, the numerical results are proven to demonstrate the performance of the proposed precoding design scheme.

This article covers research into cost reduction pathways for wave energy. The primary focus is the development and test of reliable and controllable power take-off (PTO) technology for oscillating water column converters (OWC). This is highly relevant to the ocean energy challenge. Extensive testing via data of the NEREIDA MOWC demonstration project, a breakwater wave plant located in the Basque location of Mutriku, using Wells turbines and Doubly Fed Induction (DFIG) generators is proposed to advance wave energy converter (WEC) devices. The control tests involve the integration of the PTO technology within a new variable controller for OWC wave power generation plants. Due to the nature of the control law, it allows monitoring faults caused by parametrical errors or system disturbances. The reliability tests by means of analysing the electrical signals have been conceived as conditioning monitoring, detection of mechanical faults and hardware damaging also fulfil a secondary aim for the reduction of maintenance cost and unscheduled downtime during operation of OWC plants.

It is well known that in the case of the wastewater treatment bioprocesses, including anaerobic digestion process, usually, the complete knowledge of inputs is not available and therefore the implementation of the control laws becomes a difficult problem. Therefore, in the sequel, for the above mentioned process two observer structures, able to estimate the unknown concentration of the input will be presented and analyzed. The paper deals with a comparative analysis of two types of observers: a stochastic one - Extended Kalman Filter and a deterministic one - Sliding Mode Observer. The estimation methods are analyzed in realistic frame taking into consideration the presence of the measurement noise but especially the usual variations in the case of an anaerobic digestion process, such as the variation of the maximum growth rate of the microorganisms. The effectiveness of the proposed observers has been validated by numerical simulations.
