A Model Predictive Control scheme with Ultimate Bound for Economic Optimization

This paper presents a Model Predictive Control (MPC) scheme for nonlinear continuous-time systems where an economic stage cost, which is not a measure of the distance to a desired set point, is combined with a classic stabilizing stage cost. The associated ...

Plug-and-Play distributed model predictive control with coupling attenuation

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate

We consider the control of a large-scale system composed of state-coupled linear subsystems that can be added or removed offline. In this paper we present Plug-and-Play (PnP) design methods based on Model Predictive Control (MPC) meaning that (i) the desig ...

Multirate sliding mode disturbance compensation for model predictive control

Colin Neil Jones

In this paper, a novel hierarchical multirate control scheme for nonlinear discrete-time systems is presented, consisting of a robust nonlinear model predictive controller (NMPC) and a multirate sliding mode disturbance compensator (MSMDC). The proposed MS ...

The control of the scaled false discovery rate, a flexible and comprehensive error control and a powerful theoretical tool in multiple testing

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Stephan Morgenthaler, Djalel Eddine Meskaldji

Given the large number of papers written over the last ten years on error controls in high dimensional multiple testing, it would be worthwhile to consider a single comprehensive technique that allows user flexibility in error control when dealing with big ...

Sensitivity and open-loop control of stochastic response in a noise amplifier flow: the backward-facing step

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo

The two-dimensional backward-facing step flow is a canonical example of noise amplifier flow: global linear stability analysis predicts that it is stable, but perturbations can undergo large amplification in space and time as a result of non-normal effects ...

A deployable tensegrity footbridge that connects at mid-span

Ian Smith, Nicolas Willy Veuve, Seif Dalil Safaei

This paper describes a near full-scale deployable tensegrity footbridge that deploys from both sides and connects at mid-span. Tensegrity structures are pre-stressed structures composed of tension elements (cables) surrounded by compression elements (strut ...

Optimization Based Control for Target Estimation and Tracking via Highly Observable Trajectories An Application to Motion Control of Autonomous Robotic Vehicles

Colin Neil Jones, Andrea Alessandretti, António Pedro Rodrigues de Aguiar

This paper proposes a Model Predictive Control (MPC) scheme to solve the target estimation and tracking problem. The objective is to derive a feedback law that drives an autonomous robotic vehicle to follow a target vehicle using an on-line estimate of the ...

Particle Swarm Optimization and Kalman Filtering for Demand Prediction of Commercial Buildings

François Maréchal, Samira Fazlollahi, Araz Ashouri

The integration of weather forecasts and demand prediction into the energy management system of buildings is usually achieved using a model-based predictive control. The performance of such control techniques strongly depends on the accuracy of the thermal ...

Deterministic and stochastic MPC algorithms for minimizing mechanical stresses in wind farms

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate

We consider the problem of dispatching WindFarm (WF) power demand to individual Wind Turbines (WTs) with the goal of minimizing mechanical stresses. We assume wind is strong enough to let each WT produce the required power and propose different closed-loop ...
