A novel switched systems approach to nonconvex optimisation
Joel Ferguson, Saeed Ahmed, Juan E. Machado +2
We develop a novel switching dynamics that converges to the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) point of a nonlinear optimisation problem. This new approach is particularly notable for its lo…
Passivation of Clustered DC Microgrids with Non-Monotone Loads
Albertus Johannes Malan, Joel Ferguson, Michele Cucuzzella +2
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 avai…
A new control-oriented METANET model to encompass service stations on highways
Ayda Kamalifar, Carlo Cenedese, Michele Cucuzzella +1
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 dyn…
Krasovskii Passivity for Sampled-data Stabilization and Output Consensus
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
Felix Strehle, Juan E. Machado, Michele Cucuzzella +3
A fundamental precondition for the secure and efficient operation of district heating networks (DHNs) is a stable hydraulic behavior. However, the ongoing transition towards a sust…
Optimal service station design for traffic mitigation via genetic algorithm and neural network
Carlo Cenedese, Michele Cucuzzella, Adriano Cotta Ramusino +3
This paper analyzes how the presence of service stations on highways affects traffic congestion. We focus on the problem of optimally designing a service station to achieve benefic…
