Frequency-Domain Control Design in Power Systems

Christoph Manuel Kammer

The scope of this thesis encompasses two main subjects: fixed-structure data-driven control design on one side, and control design in power systems on the other. The overall goal is to identify challenging and relevant problems in power systems, to express ...

Biomimetic adaptive control of a deployable tensegrity structure

Ann Christine Sychterz

Biomimetic behavior includes aspects such as learning from previous experience, self-diagnosis, and adaptation. This thesis describes control methodologies that are essential to development towards biomimetic behavior of a complex deployable structure. Sim ...

Dynamics and Optimal Control of Self-Sustained Instabilities in Laminar and Turbulent Swirling Flows: Application to the Part Load Vortex Rope in Francis Turbines

Simon Pasche

In 2050, the European commission plans to achieve actual energetic transition, which contributes in meeting the climate change challenges by moving away from the fossil fuels and by developing a competitive low-carbon economy. As a consequence, a foreseeab ...

Medium Voltage DC-DC Converter for Power Collection Links

Gina Kristin Steinke

Nowadays electrical energy generation is an important topic discussed in the society. Since technologies like wind or solar energy generation are most of the time placed far away from the city centres one point to focus on is the transmission of the energy ...

Predictive Control of Buildings for Demand Response and Ancillary Services Provision

Faran Ahmed Qureshi

This thesis develops optimization based techniques for the control of building heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems for the provision of demand response and ancillary services to the electric grid. The first part of the thesis focuses ...

Power-System State Estimation based on PMUs

Lorenzo Zanni

An increasing number of phasor measurement units (PMUs) are being deployed in power systems in order to enhance the situational awareness and, in the near future, we expect that many networks will be extensively equipped with PMUs. These devices provide ac ...

Plug-and-Play Robust Voltage Control of DC Microgrids

Alireza Karimi

The purpose of this paper is to explore the appli- cability of linear time-invariant (LTI) dynamical systems with polytopic uncertainty for modeling and control of islanded DC microgrids under plug-and-play (PnP) functionality of distributed generations (D ...

Reachability-based Control Synthesis for Power System Stability

Maryam Kamgarpour

We present a nonlinear reachability framework for control of power system transients. The power system consists of synchronous generators, coupled by transmission lines and controlled HVDC links. The approach consists of characterisation of the region of a ...

Advanced Control of Active Distribution Networks Integrating Dispersed Energy Storage Systems

Maryam Bahramipanah

Due to the increased penetration of Distributed Generations (DGs) in distribution networks, the system control and operation may become quite different from the case of traditional network. Most DGs can only provide intermittent power to the Active Distrib ...
