Toward new controller design paradigms in networked control systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyOne of the main concerns in the design of networked control systems (NCS’s) is the inherent delays induced by the networking infrastructure. Rather than considering delays as a threat, delays may be considered as an ... -
Developing professional skills at tertiary level: A model to integrate competencies across the curriculum
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014)
Conference report
Open AccessIn the context of the European Higher Education Area, curriculum design needs to be based on the defined competencies of each degree programs, including both domain specific and professional competencies. In this educational ... -
Mixing local and distributed reactive power control for balancing inverters' effort in grid-connected photovoltaic systems
(2013)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyReactive power control methods have been proven to be a successful technique for maintaining voltages of photovoltaic (PV) distributed generators (DG) within the admissible limits without enforcing to reduce the production ... -
An alternative discrete-time model for networked control systems with time delay less than the sampling period
(2013)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe majority of existing Networked Control Systems (NCS) models are discrete-time formulations based on the exact discretization of the continuous-time linear plant over a sample interval. In the state-space formalism, ... -
Mixing local and distributed reactive power control for balancing inverters’ effort in grid-connected photovoltaic systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyReactive power control methods have been proven to be a successful technique for maintaining voltages of photo-voltaic (PV) distributed generators (DG) within the admissible limits without enforcing to reduce the production ... -
Control strategies based on effective power factor for distributed generation power plants during unbalanced grid voltage
(2013)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyUnbalanced voltages in three-phase power systems is a common perturbation propagated along the grid. Distributed Generation plants have gained widespread attention due to their capability to improve power quality in a ... -
Power sharing control in islanded microgrid using event driven communication
(2013)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper presents a novel power sharing control strategy for islanded mode microgrids (MG). The goal is to enable renewable power sources connected to the point of com- mon coupling (PCC) through three-phase three-wire ... -
Distributed reactive power control methods to avoid voltage rise in grid-connected photovoltaic power generation systems
(2013)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyA high density of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems is expected to occur in urban areas. The connection of distributed generation (DG) may cause serious problems in the distribution system such ... -
Designing a practical course in networked control systems
(2012)
Conference report
Open AccessThis paper presents a hands-on course in networked control systems (NCS) to be integrated in the education of embedded control systems engineers. The course activities have a strong practical component and most of them are ... -
Hands-on course in networked control systems
(2012)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn many industrial robotic applications there is a need to track periodic reference signals and/or reject periodic disturbances. This paper presents a novel repetitive control design for systems with constant time-delays ... -
Qualitative analysis of a one-step finite-horizon boundary for event-driven controllers
(IEEE, 2011)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyPerformance optimization for networked and embedded control systems refers to the ability of minimizing controllers’ resource utilization and/or improving control performance. Event-driven control has been shown to be ... -
Lowering traffic without sacrificing performance in networked control systems
(IEEE Press. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2011)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn Networked Control Systems (NCS), the amount of control data exchanged between sensors, controllers and actuators nodes highly depends on the control performance specifications given to each networked control loop. ...
