Limiting the rms value (L2 norm) of periodic signals can be a necessity in some controllers for power electronic devices. The prevailing existing solution is simply to compute, off-line, the L2 norm and then to multiply ...

Transient magnetic fields generated by the gradient coils in MRI scanners induce eddy currents in their conducting components, which lead to vibrations, imaging artefacts, noise and the dissipation of heat. Heat dissipation ...

Buildings represent a significant portion of global energy consumption. Ventilation units are complex components, often customized for the specific building, responsible for a large part of energy consumption. Their faults ...

This paper deals with the problem of achieving consensus of multiple interconnected Euler-Lagrange (EL) systems using the energy shaping plus damping injection principles of passivity-based control. It proposes a novel ...

This work proposes and studies a new repetitive controller for discrete-time systems which are required to track or to attenuate periodic signals. The main characteristic of the proposed controller is its passivity. This ...

In this paper, a two-layer supervisory control scheme is proposed for discrete-time linear systems with state/input constraints, including multiple state time-delays, parametric uncertainties, and exogenous disturbance. ...

This paper presents a benchmark for the detection and isolation of cyber attacks, which is a non-linear controlled interconnected system based on a two tank system. In this benchmark, a malicious attacker wants to remain ...

This paper proposes a model based detection and localisation method to deal with abnormal quality levels based on the chlorine measurements and chlorine sensitivity analysis in a water distribution network. A fault isolation ...

The current Master’s Thesis in Automatics, Control and Robotics covers the development and implementation of an Action Intention Recognition algorithm for proactive human assistance in domestic environments. The proposed ...
