Dynamic Centrality Measures for Water Distribution Network Hydraulics
MirSaleh Bahavarnia, Salma M. Elsherif, Ahmad F. Taha
Water distribution networks (WDNs) are susceptible to various failures, including but not limited to human errors, cyber-attacks, and network modifications, necessitating the vulne…
Stabilizing Traffic Flow Via Autonomous Vehicles: A Less Conservative Approach
MirSaleh Bahavarnia, Ahmad F. Taha
This paper explores stabilizing traffic flow using a minimum number of autonomous vehicles (AVs) under control constraints. In contrast to most studies, we consider a heterogeneous…
How many autonomous vehicles are required to stabilize traffic flow?
MirSaleh Bahavarnia, Ahmad F. Taha
The collective behavior of human-driven vehicles (HVs) produces the well-known stop-and-go waves potentially leading to higher fuel consumption and emissions. This paper investigat…
Structure-Preserving Model Order Reduction for Nonlinear DAE Models of Power Networks
Muhammad Nadeem, Ahmad F. Taha
This paper deals with the joint reduction of the number of dynamic and algebraic states of a nonlinear differential-algebraic equation (NDAE) model of a power network. The dynamic…
Real-time Regulation of Detention Ponds via Feedback Control: Balancing Flood Mitigation and Water Quality
Marcus Nóbrega Gomes, Ahmad F. Taha, Luis Miguel C. Rápallo +2
Detention ponds can mitigate flooding and improve water quality by allowing the settlement of pollutants. Typically, they are operated with fully open orifices and weirs (i.e., pas…
On the Constrained CAV Platoon Control Problem
MirSaleh Bahavarnia, Junyi Ji, Ahmad F. Taha +1
The main objective of the connected and automated vehicle (CAV) platoon control problem is to regulate CAVs' position while ensuring stability and accounting for vehicle dynamics.…
Observability for Nonlinear Systems: Connecting Variational Dynamics, Lyapunov Exponents, and Empirical Gramians
Mohamad H. Kazma, Ahmad F. Taha
Observability quantification is a key problem in dynamic network sciences. While it has been thoroughly studied for linear systems, observability quantification for nonlinear netwo…
Quality-Aware Hydraulic Control in Drinking Water Networks via Controllability Proxies
Salma M. Elsherif, Mohamad H. Kazma, Ahmad F. Taha
The operation of water distribution networks simply aims at efficiently delivering consumers adequate water while maintaining safe water quality (WQ). However, this process entails…
Learning for System Identification of NDAE-modeled Power Systems
Wenjie Mei, Muhammad Nadeem, MirSaleh Bahavarnia +1
System identification through learning approaches is emerging as a promising strategy for understanding and simulating dynamical systems, which nevertheless faces considerable diff…
On Scaling Robust Feedback Control and State Estimation Problems in Power Networks
MirSaleh Bahavarnia, Muhammad Nadeem, Ahmad F. Taha
Many mainstream robust control/estimation algorithms for power networks are designed using the Lyapunov theory as it provides performance guarantees for linear/nonlinear models of…
Robust Feedback Control of Power Systems with Solar Plants and Composite Loads
Muhammad Nadeem, MirSaleh Bahavarnia, Ahmad F. Taha
Due to the rapid developments in synchronized measurement technologies, there exist enormous opportunities to attenuate disturbances in future power grids with high penetration of…
On input-to-state stability verification of identified models obtained by Koopman operator
Wenjie Mei, Dongzhe Zheng, Yu Zhou +2
This paper proposes a class of basis functions for realizing the input-to-state stability verification of identified models obtained from the true system (assumed to be input-to-st…
