We propose a suitable model reduction paradigm -- the certied reduced basis method (RB) -- for the rapid and reliable solution of parametrized optimal control problems governed by partial dierential equations (PDEs). In particular, we develop the methodolo ...

Power amplifiers are a highly important component in a range of industrial applications, such as, servo-drives, magnetic resonance imaging, energy systems, and audio. The control system for power amplifiers should satisfy a range of requirements, e. g., of ...
Many maneuvers of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) can be considered within a framework of trajectory following. Though this issue can differ from one application to another, they all share the same problem of finding an optimal path (or signal) to perform t ...
This dissertation considers mechatronic systems driven by piezoelectric ultrasonic motors (PUM). The focus is set on optimal system design and sensorless position control. Mechatronic industry faces the challenge to deliver ever more efficient and reliable ...
This paper explores the problem of feedback coding for a channel whose output is simultaneously used for two purposes: it is decoded to establish reliable communication, and it is used to control a dynamical system. In general, there is a tradeoff between ...

Sensitivity analysis is used to design an open-loop control for separated flows. The length of the recirculation region lc is expressed as a cost functional, and its sensitivity to actuation is derived analytically. This analysis allows to identify regi ...
This master thesis aims at the development, analysis and computer implementation of effcient numerical methods for the solution of optimal control problems based on parametrized partial differential equations. Our goal isfto develop a new approach based on ...
Simulation is a key issue in the design of control electrical systems. Simulation packages using component library, such as PSIM®, are very useful to achieve this goal. The simulation model is thus easily built from the system topology (structural model). ...
A key feature of Modular Multilevel Converters (MMC) is the continuous and independent nature of the branch currents. Therefore, a decoupled control of the line and partial bus currents is possible, unlike for classical topologies. To this end, several con ...
Dynamic optimization provides a unified framework for improving process operations while taking operational constraints into account. In the presence of uncertainty, measurements can be incorporated into the optimization framework for tracking the optimum. ...
