Reinforcement Twinning for Hybrid Control of Flapping-Wing Drones
Romain Poletti, Lorenzo Schena, Lilla Koloszar +2
Controlling flapping-wing drones requires controllers that handle time-varying, nonlinear, underactuated dynamics from incomplete, noisy sensor data. Recent advances in artificial…
Nonlinear System Identification of Variable-Pitch Propellers Using a Wiener Model
David Grasev, Miguel A. Mendez
This work presents the system identification of a variable-pitch propeller (VPP) powertrain, encompassing the full actuation chain from PWM signals to thrust generation, with the a…
Nonlinear System Identification for Model-Based Control of Waked Wind Turbines
Sebastiano Randino, Lorenzo Schena, Nicolas Coudou +2
This work presents a nonlinear system identification framework for modeling the power extraction dynamics of wind turbines, including both freestream and waked conditions. The appr…
POD-Based Sparse Stochastic Estimation of Wind Turbine Blade Vibrations
Lorenzo Schena, Wim Munters, Jan Helsen +1
This study presents a framework for estimating the full vibrational state of wind turbine blades from sparse deflection measurements. The identification is performed in a reduced-o…
