Predictor-Based Compensators for Networked Control Systems with Stochastic Delays and Sampling Intervals
Matheus Wagner, Marcelo M. Morato, Antônio Augusto Fröhlich +1
The stochastic nature of time delays and sampling intervals in Networked Control Systems poses significant challenges for controller synthesis and analysis, often leading to conser…
RTI-NMPC for Control of Autonomous Vehicles Using Implicit Discretization Methods
Matheus Wagner, Julio E. Normey-Rico
Recent efforts in the development of autonomous driving technology have induced great advancements in perception, planning and control systems. Model predictive control is one of t…
Optimal control analysis and Practical NMPC applied to refrigeration systems
G. Bejarano, M. G. Ortega, J. E. Normey-Rico +1
This work is focused on optimal control of mechanical compression refrigeration systems. A reduced-order state-space model based on the moving boundary approach is proposed for the…
Efficient simulation strategy for PCM-based cold-energy storage systems
G. Bejarano, M. Vargas, M. G. Ortega +2
This paper proposes a computationally efficient simulation strategy for cold thermal energy storage (TES) systems based on phase change material (PCM). Taking as a starting point t…
Teaching control with Basic Maths: Introduction to Process Control course as a novel educational approach for undergraduate engineering programs
Julio Elias Normey-Rico, Marcelo Menezes Morato
In this article, we discuss a novel education approach to control theory in undergraduate engineering programs. In particular, we elaborate on the inclusion of an introductory cour…
Nonlinear Data-Driven Control Part II: qLPV Predictive Control using Parameter Extrapolation
Marcelo Menezes Morato, Julio Elias Normey-Rico, Olivier Sename
We present a novel data-driven Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithm for nonlinear systems. The method is based on recent extensions of behavioural theory and Willem's Fundament…
Nonlinear Data-Driven Control Part I: Trajectory Representation under quasi-Linear Parameter Varying Embeddings
Marcelo Menezes Morato, Julio Elias Normey-Rico, Olivier Sename
Recent literature has shown how linear time-invariant (LTI) systems can be represented by trajectories features, that is relying on a single input-output (IO) data dictionary to sp…
A Parametrized Nonlinear Predictive Control Strategy for Relaxing COVID-19 Social Distancing Measures in Brazil
Marcelo M. Morato, Igor M. L. Pataro, Marcus V. Americano da Costa +1
In this paper, we formulate a Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) to plan appropriate social distancing measures (and relaxations) in order to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic…
Nonlinear Temperature Regulation of Solar Collectors with a Fast Adaptive Polytopic LPV MPC Formulation
Hugo A. Pipino, Marcelo M. Morato, Emanuel Bernardi +2
Temperature control in solar collectors is a nonlinear problem: the dynamics of temperature rise vary according to the oil flowing through the collector and to the temperature grad…
The COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) Uncertainty Tripod in Brazil: Assessments on model-based predictions with large under-reporting
Saulo B. Bastos, Marcelo M. Morato, Daniel O. Cajueiro anda Julio E Normey-Rico
The COVID-19 pandemic (SARS-CoV-2 virus) is the defying global health crisis of our time. The absence of mass testing and the relevant presence of asymptomatic individuals causes t…
Optimal Control Concerns Regarding the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) Pandemic in Bahia and Santa Catarina, Brazil
Marcelo M. Morato, Igor M. L. Pataro, Marcus V. Americano da Costa +1
The COVID-19 pandemic is the profoundest health crisis of the 21rst century. The SARS-CoV-2 virus arrived in Brazil around March, 2020 and its social and economical backlashes are…
Characterizing Quality of Experience for Demand Management in South Brazil
José Diogo Forte de Oliveira Luna, Guilherme Nascimento Gouvêa dos Reis, Paulo Renato da Costa Mendes +1
The present work delivers the results of a survey conducted in Florianópolis, on the southern region of Brazil, using a digital questionnaire which inquired about the interaction w…
An Optimal Predictive Control Strategy for COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) Social Distancing Policies in Brazil
Marcelo Menezes Morato, Saulo Benchimol Bastos, Daniel Oliveira Cajueiro +1
The global COVID-19 pandemic (SARS-CoV-2 virus) is the defining health crisis of our century. Due to the absence of vaccines and drugs that can help to fight it, the world solution…
