In this work, a methodology for the estimation of the liquid fraction of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is developed. Specifically, a model-based chattering- free high order sliding mode (CHOSM) observer is ...

Un dels camps de la robòtica que estan despertant gran interès per part de la comunitat científica és el dels entorns multirobot. Aquest nom genèric inclou diferents tipus de sistemes amb característiques i problemàtiques ...

Global concerns about nowadays’ energy shortage problems as well as climate change eects have encouraged alternatives to classical energy sources such as fossil fuels and nuclear power plants. In this context, combined ...

This conference paper presents a comparison study between different charging techniques for energy storage systems. The work presents the application of charging methods in two different types of models, which are a dynamic ...

Although PID con trol has b een widely used in practical engineering, its abilit y to reject external disturbance and to handle severe nonlinearities should b e further enhanced. In this pap er, we presen t a simple robust ...

A model predictive control (MPC) framework is developed in the present study, with the final objective to improve the energy flexibility of building thermal loads through demand-side management. Three different configurations ...
