Data-Driven Passivity-Based Current Controller Design for Power-Electronic Converters of Traction Systems

Alireza Karimi, Seyed Sohail Madani

In this paper, a data-driven method for controller design with constraints on the positive-realness of closed-loop transfer functions over an arbitrary set of frequencies is proposed. The positive-realness of a closed-loop transfer function is represented ...

System-level, Input-output and New Parameterizations of Stabilizing Controllers, and Their Numerical Computation

Maryam Kamgarpour, Luca Furieri, Na Li

It is known that the set of internally stabilizing controller

\mathcal{C}_{\text{stab}}

is non-convex, but it admits convex characterizations using certain closed-loop maps: a classical result is the {Youla parameterization}, and two recent notions are t ...
