The increasing integration of solar power plants into transmission grids has raised concerns about their vulnerability to disturbances, particularly lightning strokes. Solar energy, while offering significant environmental and economic…
Unearthed neutral is commonly used in networks which require continuous power supply. This is common in MV circuits of industrial and power plants. Unearthed networks can remain in operation during an earth-fault, but fast determination of…
An optimal rank-1 approximation of state transition tensors was developed as an efficient alternative to state transition tensors for nonlinear uncertainty quantification. While previous directional state transition tensors used the…
Sensor selection is an often under-appreciated aspect of state estimator or Kalman filter design. The basic minimum requirement for the choice of a sensor set while designing Kalman filters is that all states are observable. In addition,…
The transition from the Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (ICEVs) to the Electric Vehicles (EVs) is globally recommended to combat the unfavourable environmental conditions caused by reliance on fossil fuels. However, it has been…
The share of electronically converted power from renewable sources, loads, and storage is continuously growing in the low- and medium-voltage grids. These sources and loads typically rectify the grid AC to DC, e.g., for a DC link, so that a…
Power system coherency refers to the phenomenon that machines in a power network exhibit similar frequency responses after disturbances, and is foundational for model reduction and control design. Despite abundant empirical observations,…
Classical Bayesian persuasion assumes that senders fully understand how receivers form beliefs and make decisions--an assumption that rarely holds when receivers possess private information or exhibit non-Bayesian behavior. In this paper,…
Koopman operator, as a fully linear representation of nonlinear dynamical systems, if well-defined on a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS), can be efficiently learned from data. For stability analysis and control-related problems, it…
This paper considers coordination of platoons of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) at mixed-autonomy bottlenecks in the face of three practically important factors, viz. time-varying traffic demand, random CAV platoon sizes, and…
This paper investigates how to recover parameters of a linear time invariant system from values and derivatives of its transfer function matrix, along several particular directions at a prescribed set of points in the complex plane, in…
Missiles pose a major threat to aircraft in modern air combat. Advances in technology make them increasingly difficult to detect until they are close to the target and highly resistant to jamming. The evasion maneuver is the last line of…
This paper explores the development of learning-based tunable control gains using EMT-in-the-loop simulation framework (e.g., PSCAD interfaced with Python-based learning modules) to address critical sub-synchronous oscillations. Since…
Most of the rigid-body systems which evolve on nonlinear Lie groups where Euclidean control designs lose geometric meaning. In this paper, we introduce a log-linear backstepping control law on SE2(3) that preserves full…
This chapter bridges technical analysis and organizational preparedness by tracing the path from layered failure modes to reliability awareness in generative and agentic AI systems. We first introduce an 11-layer failure stack, a structured…
Vacuum disc filtration is critical in pulp mills for white liquor clarification and pulp washing, involving tightly coupled dynamics between rotational speed, vacuum pressure, slurry concentration, filtrate flow, and cake thickness. These…
Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) enable smart wireless environments by dynamically controlling signal propagation to enhance communication and localization. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can act as flying base stations and thus,…
Koopman Operator Theory has opened the doors to data-driven learning of globally linear representations of complex nonlinear systems. However, current methodologies for Koopman Operator discovery struggle with uncertainty quantification and…
This paper proposes a novel robust adaptive model predictive controller for on-orbit dislodging. We study orbit dislodging where a servicing spacecraft uses a robotic arm to free a jammed and unactuated solar panel mounted on a hybrid hinge…
Power system voltage regulation is crucial to maintain power quality while integrating intermittent renewable resources in distribution grids. However, the system model on the grid edge is often unknown, making it difficult to model…
