Real-Time Single-Iteration Model Predictive Control for Wave Energy Converters
Simone Pirrera, Nicolas Faedo, Sophie M. Fosson +1
This paper proposes a novel real-time algorithm for controlling wave energy converters (WECs). We begin with the economic model predictive control (MPC) problem formulation and app…
Robust Load Disturbance Rejection in PWM DC-DC Buck Converters
Simone Pirrera, Francesco Gabriele, Davide Lena +3
This paper presents a novel approach to robust load disturbance rejection in DC-DC Buck converters. We propose a novel control scheme based on the design of two nested feedback loo…
A Fully Analog Implementation of Model Predictive Control with Application to Buck Converters
Simone Pirrera, Lorenzo Calogero, Francesco Gabriele +3
This paper proposes a novel approach to design analog electronic circuits that implement Model Predictive Control (MPC) policies for dynamical systems described by affine models. E…
A constrained optimization approach to nonlinear system identification through simulation error minimization
Vito Cerone, Sophie M. Fosson, Simone Pirrera +1
This paper introduces a novel approach to system identification for nonlinear input-output models that minimizes the simulation error and frames the problem as a constrained optimi…
Set-membership identification of continuous-time MIMO systems via Tustin discretization
Vito Cerone, Sophie M. Fosson, Simone Pirrera +1
In this paper, we deal with the identification of continuous-time systems from sampled data corrupted by unknown but bounded errors. A significant challenge in continuous-time iden…
Alternating direction method of multipliers for polynomial optimization
V. Cerone, S. M. Fosson, S. Pirrera +1
Multivariate polynomial optimization is a prevalent model for a number of engineering problems. From a mathematical viewpoint, polynomial optimization is challenging because it is…
