This paper studies the problem of frequency regulation in power grids, while maximizing the social welfare. Two price-based controllers are proposed; the first one an internal-model-based controller and the second one based on a continuous…
The current trend in the evolution of wind turbines is to increase their rotor size in order to capture more power. This leads to taller, slender and more flexible towers, which thus experience higher dynamical loads due to the turbine…
This paper investigates the problem of energy-optimal control for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). To improve the endurance of AUVs, we propose a novel energy-optimal control scheme based on the economic model predictive control (MPC)…
We propose a multi-sender, multi-receiver over-the-air computation (OAC) framework for wireless networked control systems (WNCS) with structural constraints. Our approach enables actuators to directly compute and apply control signals from…
Harmonic pollution may damage the electric devices in wind power plants (WPPs), and propagate to the external grid. This paper proposes a harmonic mitigation scheme by embedding harmonic control functions in wind turbines (WTs) to manage…
Energy beamforming (EB) is a key technique to enhance the efficiency of wireless power transfer (WPT). In this paper, we study the optimal EB under per-antenna power constraint (PAC) which is more practical than the conventional sum-power…
Wave energy, as a renewable energy source, is widely distributed and possesses substantial reserves. However, many existing wave energy harvesters exhibit motion constraints under irregular wave conditions, which limits their energy…
This paper is devoted to a study of the null controllability problems for one-dimensional linear degenerate wave equations through a boundary controller. First, the well-posedness of linear degenerate wave equations is discussed. Then the…
In order to deal with issues caused by the increasing penetration of renewable resources in power systems, this paper proposes a novel distributed frequency control algorithm for each generating unit and controllable load in a transmission…
With the rapid growth of wind power penetration, wind farms (WFs) are required to implement frequency regulation that active power control to track a given power reference. Due to the wake interaction of the wind turbines (WTs), there is…
In this article we analyze the optimal control strategy for rotating a monitored qubit from an initial pure state to an orthogonal state in minimum time. This strategy is described for two different cost functions of interest which do not…
We consider a sensing application where the sensor nodes are wirelessly powered by an energy beacon. We focus on the problem of jointly optimizing the energy allocation of the energy beacon to different sensors and the data transmission…
In this paper, we consider a class of optimal control problems governed by 1D parabolic state-systems of KWC types with dynamic boundary conditions. The state-systems are based on a phase-field model of grain boundary motion, proposed in…
We present a theoretical study of the optimal control of a qubit interacting with a structured environment. We consider a model system in which the bath is a bosonic reservoir at zero temperature and the qubit frequency is the only control…
In this paper, we introduce a method to optimally estimate time-varying frequency bias. Current industry practice is to assume that frequency bias is changing only on annual basis. We suggest that this improved time-dependent bias estimate…
We will consider exact controllability of the distributed system governed by the wave equation with memory. It will be proved that this mechanical system can be driven to rest in finite time, the absolute value of the distributed control…
In this paper, we consider the problem of controlling power consumption dynamics of residential heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) units so that they follow the grid-side power specifications. In order to do so, we design a…
We consider an optimal control problem for a single-spot pulsed laser welding problem. The distribution of thermal energy is described by a quasilinear heat equation. Our emphasis is on materials which tend to suffer from hot cracking, such…
We study the problem of controlling the initial condition of a vibrating beam. The optimal control problem seeks to determine solutions of initial velocity that assure the approach of the state of the beam to a given target function in the…
The weighted voltage mode control represents a method for control of multiple outputs DC-DC converters. Accordingly, the weighted control redistributes the error among the outputs of these converters, and the regulation error can be reduced…
