Model reference adaptive control algorithms with minimal controller synthesis have proven to be an effective solution to tame the behaviour of linear systems subject to unknown or time-varying parameters, unmodelled dynamics ...

This paper presents a feedback linearization-based control strategy for a a magnetically coupled multiport dc-dc converter aimed at automotive applications. Essentially, a transformation of control and state variables is ...

The tracking control of non-minimum phase systems is nowadays an open and challenging field, because a general theory is still not available. This article proposes an indirect control strategy in which a key role is played ...

En este trabajo se muestra la aplicación de una técnica para la regulación de frecuencia en controladores desli- zantes en un convertidor elevador. Dicha estrategia, la cua l había sido propuesta teóricamente para sistemas ...

This report considers the analytical approximation of unstable limit cycles that may appear in Abel equations written in the normal form. The procedure uses an iterative approach that takes advantage of the contraction ...

The rejection of the undesirable effects of sudden load changes undergone by power inverters requires control techniques able to recover regular operation with a low transient error, in a short number of periods and ...

The extension and size of the power grid is expected to increase in the near future. Managing such a system presents challenging control problems that, so far, have been approached with classical control techniques. However, ...

We describe a multicellular approach to control a target cell population endowed with a bistable toggle-switch. The idea is to engineer a synthetic microbial consortium consisting of three different cell populations. In ...
