Passivation of Clustered DC Microgrids with Non-Monotone Loads

no code implementations30 Apr 2024 Albertus Johannes Malan, Joel Ferguson, Michele Cucuzzella, Jacquelien M. A. Scherpen, Sören Hohmann

In this paper, we consider the problem of voltage stability in DC networks containing uncertain loads with non-monotone incremental impedances and where the steady-state power availability is restricted to a subset of the buses in the network.

A new control-oriented METANET model to encompass service stations on highways

no code implementations21 Mar 2024 Ayda Kamalifar, Carlo Cenedese, Michele Cucuzzella, Antonella Ferrara

In this paper, we propose the METANET with service station (METANET-s) model, a second-order macroscopic traffic model that, compared to the classical METANET, incorporates the dynamics of service stations on highways.

Krasovskii Passivity for Sampled-data Stabilization and Output Consensus

no code implementations16 Jun 2023 Yu Kawano, Alessio Moreschini, Michele Cucuzzella

In this paper, we establish the novel concept of Krasovskii passivity for sampled discrete-time nonlinear systems, enabling Krasovskii-passivity-based control design under sampling.

A Unifying Passivity-Based Framework for Pressure and Volume Flow Rate Control in District Heating Networks

no code implementations20 May 2023 Felix Strehle, Juan E. Machado, Michele Cucuzzella, Albertus J. Malan, Jacquelien M. A. Scherpen, Sören Hohmann

A fundamental precondition for the secure and efficient operation of district heating networks (DHNs) is a stable hydraulic behavior.

Optimal service station design for traffic mitigation via genetic algorithm and neural network

no code implementations18 Nov 2022 Carlo Cenedese, Michele Cucuzzella, Adriano Cotta Ramusino, Davide Spalenza, John Lygeros, Antonella Ferrara

We focus on the problem of optimally designing a service station to achieve beneficial effects in terms of total traffic congestion and peak traffic reduction.

Krasovskii and Shifted Passivity Based Output Consensus

no code implementations4 Jul 2022 Yu Kawano, Michele Cucuzzella, Shuai Feng, Jacquelien M. A. Scherpen

Motivated by current sharing in power networks, we consider a class of output consensus (also called agreement) problems for nonlinear systems, where the consensus value is determined by external disturbances, e. g., power demand.

Decentralized temperature and storage volume control in multi-producer district heating

no code implementations2 Jun 2022 Juan E. Machado, Joel Ferguson, Michele Cucuzzella, Jacquelien M. A. Scherpen

Modern district heating technologies have a great potential to make the energy sector more flexible and sustainable due to their capabilities to use energy sources of varied nature and to efficiently store energy for subsequent use.

A Novel Control-Oriented Cell Transmission Model Including Service Stations on Highways

no code implementations23 May 2022 Carlo Cenedese, Michele Cucuzzella, Antonella Ferrara, John Lygeros

In this paper, we propose a novel model that describes how the traffic evolution on a highway stretch is affected by the presence of a service station.

A Distributed control framework for the optimal operation of DC microgrids

no code implementations18 Apr 2022 Zao Fu, Michele Cucuzzella, Carlo Cenedese, Wenwu Yu, Jacquelien M. A. Scherpen

Then, based on the dual theory, we analyze the equivalent distributed optimal condition for the proposed aggregative game and design a distributed control scheme to solve it.

Modeling and Passivity Properties of Multi-Producer District Heating Systems

no code implementations10 Nov 2020 Juan E. Machado, Michele Cucuzzella, Jacquelien Scherpen

We propose a comprehensive nonlinear ODE-based thermo-hydraulic model of a district heating system featuring several heat producers, consumers and storage devices which are interconnected through a distribution network of meshed topology whose temperature dynamics are explicitly considered.

Output Regulation for Load Frequency Control

no code implementations24 Oct 2020 Amirreza Silani, Michele Cucuzzella, Jacquelien M. A. Scherpen, Mohammad Javad Yazdanpanah

Motivated by the inadequacy of the existing control strategies for power systems affected by time-varying uncontrolled power injections such as loads and the increasingly widespread renewable energy sources, this paper proposes two control schemes based on the well-known output regulation control methodology.
