Robust Data-Driven Controller Design with Finite Frequency Samples

Alireza Karimi, Philippe Louis Schuchert

Modern control synthesis methods rely on accurate models to derive a performant controller. Obtaining a good model is often a costly step, and has led to a renewed interest in data-driven synthesis methods. Frequency-response-based synthesis methods have b ...

Violation-aware contextual Bayesian optimization for controller performance optimization with unmodeled constraints

Colin Neil Jones, Bratislav Svetozarevic, Wenjie Xu

We study the problem of performance optimization of closed -loop control systems with unmodeled dynamics. Bayesian optimization (BO) has been demonstrated to be effective for improving closed -loop performance by automatically tuning controller gains or re ...

Unified Harmonic Power-Flow and Stability Analysis of Power Grids with Converter-Interfaced Distributed Energy Resources

Johanna Kristin Maria Becker

Modern power distribution systems are experiencing a large-scale integration of Converter-Interfaced Distributed Energy Resources (CIDERs). Their presence complicates the analysis and mitigation of harmonics, whose creation and propagation may be amplified ...

Data-Driven Control and Optimization under Noisy and Uncertain Conditions

Baiwei Guo

Control systems operating in real-world environments often face disturbances arising from measurement noise and model mismatch. These factors can significantly impact the perfor- mance and safety of the system. In this thesis, we aim to leverage data to de ...

Neural System Level Synthesis: Learning over All Stabilizing Policies for Nonlinear Systems

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Luca Furieri, Clara Lucía Galimberti

We address the problem of designing stabilizing control policies for nonlinear systems in discrete-time, while minimizing an arbitrary cost function. When the system is linear and the cost is convex, the System Level Synthesis (SLS) approach offers an effe ...

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 ...

Fixed-order loop shaping robust controller design for parametric models to damp inter-area oscillations

Alireza Karimi

The inter-area oscillations are common in power systems and can occur due to the changes in the load or generating power especially in long transmission lines. This paper presents the design of a robust fixed order loop shaping controller to damp out the i ...

Soft Constrained Model Predictive Control With Robust Stability Guarantees

Colin Neil Jones, Melanie Nicole Zeilinger

Soft constrained model predictive control (MPC) is frequently applied in practice in order to ensure feasibility of the optimization during online operation. Standard techniques offer global feasibility by relaxing state or output constraints, but cannot e ...
