However, the implementation of the electric car-sharing schemes still have some changes that need to be addressed, such as limitations in regulations and the low-profit margins that can be achieved by the fleet operator. This paper focuses on review the strategies set on current literature that will allow addressing the last change. Particularly, those strategies that will allow the participation of the shared EVs in the energy and ancillary services electricity markets. Hence, this paper provides a general view of the issues that need to be addressed, currently, to make suitable the participation of shared EVs or public transport EVs in the energy and ancillary services electricity markets.","PeriodicalId":184764,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 4th Colombian Conference on Automatic Control (CCAC)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132645425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The testbed architecture consists of a monitoring system composed by a web cam and a control algorithm running in a main computer that communicates with the robots wirelessly. A unique feature of the testbed is the use of ArUco markers on top of the mobile platforms for motion tracking purposes using OpenCV and Visual Basic.

One of the most conventional techniques is model predictive control (MPC) because it can handle restrictions over the states and system inputs. However, the computational resources required by the algorithm could make the controller unimplementable for some systems. In this work, we compare the MPC with a non-traditional controller based on potential games using agents with single integrator dynamics and nonlinear ground vehicles. We have found that the potential game-based controller can achieve a similar performance spending less computation time.","PeriodicalId":184764,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 4th Colombian Conference on Automatic Control (CCAC)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124654653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, a controller according to the Extended Prediction Self-Adaptive Control (EPSAC) was designed. This algorithm requires a linear model, so the model was linearized around a certain equilibrium point. This gives bad results when the setpoint lies far from the equilibrium output level. Secondly, a Non-linear Extended Prediction Self-Adaptive Control (NEPSAC) was designed. A big advantage is that no linearization is required. Consequently, a correct model is available at each point. This explains why NEPSAC gives the best results: a low settling time, no overshoot and equally good results for all setpoints. Finally, the performance of the controllers is evaluated, in order to carry out a tracking to a reference level and an effective rejection of the disturbances.","PeriodicalId":184764,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 4th Colombian Conference on Automatic Control (CCAC)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125589731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article evaluates the configuration of a cable driven parallel robot with three degrees of freedom, and a rectangular final effector. For this reason the kinematics are analyzed with a Jacobian matrix using Screws theory considering different linkage points. With the kinetic energy known it is possible to find a proper location guarantying the lowest energy consumption.

This automatic test bench cycles a battery while simulating real life conditions, this way it is possible to perform an accelerated life cycle test. The testing of the battery is monitored by the device and the information is stored to further understand the batterie's behavior and determine its viability for stationary energy storage applications. The device gathers data via an array temperature, voltage and current sensors. The battery tested by the system is a lithium ion battery built from heterogeneous second use lithium ion cells recovered form discarded laptop batteries. The results from the device show that the battery has potential for stationary energy storage applications, however, more data is needed to have a better understanding of the evolution of the battery over time.

Therefore, an impulsive scheme of estimation and control is needed. Here, an impulsive MHE is designed and it is coupled with a zone MPC which allows to include the system constraints in both estimation and control problems. In addition, an offset-free strategy is added to compensate the effects of the inherent plant-model mismatch given by the physiological changes of the patient. These variations can generate an inaccurate insulin administration that produces an offset in relation to the nor-moglycemia zone and leads to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia events. The offset-free MHE/ZMPC formulation reestablishes the normoglycemia behavior by compensating parameter variations. Variations up to 30% were considered, as well as the sensor noise from the continuous glucose monitor.","PeriodicalId":184764,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 4th Colombian Conference on Automatic Control (CCAC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114237732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
