Norm optimal iterative learning control(NOILC) has recently been applied to iterative learning control(ILC) problems in which tracking is only required at a subset of isolated time points along the trial duration. This problem addresses the practical needs of many applications, including industrial automation, crane control, satellite positioning and motion control within a medical stroke rehabilitation context. This paper provides a substantial generalization of this framework by providing a solution to the problem of convergence at intermediate points with simultaneous tracking of subsets of outputs to reference trajectories on subintervals. This formulation enables the NOILC paradigm to tackle tasks which mix "point to point" movements with linear tracking requirements and hence substantially broadens the application domain to include automation tasks which include welding or cutting movements, or human motion control where the movement is restricted by the task to straight line and/or planar segments. A solution to the problem is presented in the framework of NOILC and inherits NOILC s well-defined convergence properties. Design guidelines and supporting experimental results are included.

The Spanish Renewable Energies Plan (SREP) for 2011-2020 and the European Energy Road Map are promoting the use of renewable sources as the best way to avoid the undesired global warming, and in particular, the use of Ocean Energy. Within the different types of on-shore wave-based ocean energy devices, Oscillating Water Column (OWC) converters are one of the widely used ones. An OWC device is basically composed by a capture chamber with a turbo-generator module attached to it. This paper presents the modeling and simulation of OWC on-shore wave power plants. The results are particularised for the case of the Mutriku's power plant and then validated by means of experimental data.

Among the available options for renewable energy integration in existing power system, wind power is being considered as one of the suited options for future electrical power generation. The major constraint of wind power generating system (WPGS) is that it does not provide inertial support because of power electronic converters between the grid and the WPGS to facilitate frequency stabilization. The proposed control strategy suggests a substantial contribution to system inertia in terms of short-term active power support in a two area restructured power system. The control scheme uses fuzzy logic based design and takes frequency deviation as input to provide quick active power support, which balances the drop in frequency and tie-line power during transient conditions. This paper presents a comprehensive study of the wind power impact with increasing wind power penetration on frequency stabilization in restructured power system scenario. Variation of load conditions are also analyzed in simulation studies for the same power system model with the proposed control scheme. Simula- tion results advocates the justification of control scheme over other schemes.

Substantial amounts of greenhouse gases (GHG) have been demonstrated to be emitted in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). One of the GHG with a great influence is nitrous oxide (N 2 O), which is emitted during the nitrification and denitrification processes in a biological wastewater treatment. This paper proposes the implementation of a control strategy in order to reduce N 2 O emissions in the nitrification process. Due to the fact that N 2 O emissions are produced as an intermediate in the nitrification process, the idea of the present work is based on the implementation of a nitrite control by manipulating dissolved oxygen (So) in order to avoid partial nitrification and thus to reduce N 2 O peaks. A hierarchical control strategy is proposed, where the higher level is composed of an affine function and the lower level of a Proportional-Integral (PI) controller. A modified version of Benchmark Simulation Model 2 (BSM2G) that includes GHG emissions is used for the evaluation. The simulation results show that the proposed control strategy achieve the reduction of GHG emissions by reducing N 2 O. However, additional control strategies must also be implemented to take into account the other evaluation criteria of the plant.

Explosive growth of mobile data traffic becomes an increasingly serious problem in cellular networks. Delayed Wi-Fi offloading is the concept to shift the delay-tolerant mobile traffic from cellular networks to Wi-Fi networks at the cost of additional delay. Existing studies mainly focused on a single-flow management or a multi-flow case without specified deadlines. In this paper, we address a multi-flow offloading problem in which a mobile user has multiple traffic flows whose loads and deadlines are different. More precisely, we formulate a multi-flow rate control based on a discrete and finite-horizon Markov decision problem. We develop a dynamic programming (DP)-based optimal rate control algorithm to maximize user satisfaction defined as offloading efficiency minus disutility due to deadline violations. Moreover, we propose a threshold-based rate control algorithm which requires low-complexity and low-memory but achieves high performance. Trace driven simulations based on measurements show that our proposed algorithms achieve high user satisfaction compared to existing algorithms.

The quadric error metric incremental simplification process involves two stages: cost computation and vertex estimation. In this work, we replace the latter through the use of a lifting scheme, prediction-update stage. Since the initial simplification algorithm implies the. fusion of neighboring vertices and their associated matrices, we propose the inclusion of a similar mechanism in the update, stage of the lifting scheme. For this purpose, we. explore two possible, choices for the redistribution weights of the. quadric error matrices. The quality of the data downsampled in this fashion is assessed by tracking the evolution of the normalized root mean squared error.

In this paper, a recently-reported single-phase rectifier with two outputs (RECTO) is further improved to reduce the current stress of the neutral inductor in the rectifier. The reduction is achieved by moving the neutral inductor away from the path of the grid current. As a result, the inductor only carries the differential current of the dual loads. Since the maximum value of the differential current is much smaller than that of the grid current, the current stress of the neutral inductor can be significantly reduced, and the size of the inductor becomes much smaller, which helps improve the power density of the RECTO. In theory, the current stress can be reduced by at least three times and the inductor size by at least nine times. It is worth noting that the current stress of the switches and the other features of the RECTO, e.g., operation principles, independent DC outputs and unity power factor, are not affected. Comparative experimental results are presented to demonstrate the reduction.

In order to cope with uncertainties present in the renewable energy generation, as well as in the demand consumer, we propose in this paper the formulation and comparison of three robust model predictive control techniques, i.e., multi-scenario, tree-based, and chance-constrained model predictive control, which are applied to a nonlinear plant-replacement model that corresponds to a real laboratory-scale plant located in the facilities of the University of Seville. Results show the effectiveness of these three techniques considering the stochastic nature, proper of these systems.

This paper analyzes the behavior of the Incremental Conductance (IC) maximum power point tracking algorithm used in photovoltaic modules. Three variants of the algorithm are compared under both simulations and real world tests with a DSP 1104 card control. The results obtained show that the variant whose simulated behavior is the best, actually is the worst in real world experiments, indicating that it is mandatory to test this kind of algorithms in real facilities. In this case, the facilities are placed in the laboratories of the Faculty of engineering of Vitoria-Gasteiz (UPV/EHU, Spain), and the photovoltaic modules are on its roof.
