Parametrizing the disturbance and representing the delays as a transport PDE, the problem is converted to an adaptive control problem for ODE-PDE cascade. An existing state observer is used to estimate the ODE system states. The exponential stability of the equilibrium of the closed-loop and error system is proved. The perfect estimation of the disturbance and state is shown. Moreover, the convergence of the state to zero as $trightarrowinfty$ is achieved in the closed loop system. The effectiveness of the controller is demonstrated in a numerical simulation.","PeriodicalId":222660,"journal":{"name":"2018 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114360293","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}

We are motivated by modeling of networked control systems in which the communication between subsystems can be statedependent. This leads to the impulsive system with multiple impulsive time sequences and a distinct jump map for each sequence. Lyapunov-like theorems equipped with novel dwelltime conditions for global asymptotic stability of the origin have been proven. We treat the cases of a stable continuous dynamics that is being destabilized by impulsive perturbations, and vice versa, the case of unstable continuous dynamics that is being stabilized by impulses. Our results are less conservative comparing to the existing ones since we propose the concept of a candidate Lyapunov function with multiple nonlinear rate functions to characterize its behaviour during flows and jumps and account the influence of impulses for each impulsive time sequence separately. Also, we demonstrate the application of the results to stability analysis of impulsive differential equations with fixed moments of jumps and compare them with the existing ones.","PeriodicalId":222660,"journal":{"name":"2018 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114815183","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 theoretical basis is an optimization-based two-step approach that allows an easy trade-off between fast convergence and robustness for generic nonlinear systems. To demonstrate the efficiency of the developed tool, a simulation study on an overhead crane is performed, where a model with introduced parameter deviations is used to iteratively learn the open-loop control inputs. Special attention is paid to the comparison of different possible ways to realize the learning effect and the resulting performance. Moreover, the simplicity of considering constraints and their compliance is demonstrated, while fast convergence is observed.","PeriodicalId":222660,"journal":{"name":"2018 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123202497","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 core of the switched control concept derived in this work is a standard state feedback controller, stabilizing the system in the unconstrained case, whereas its control signal is optimally limited in order to achieve feasibility of the states and the input in the constrained case. For the derivation of the limiting function, feasible dynamic limits are designed which correspond to one additional control law per constraint. A switching logic for these limits is then constructed with the solution of an optimization problem. Thereby, an explicit order of constraints prioritization is taken into account in order to obtain a unique switching logic. Throughout the derivation, the property of differential flatness is exploited, which allows the reduction of the respective system to the control of a (constrained) integrator chain. The performance of the control approach as pure feedback as well as in a constrained two-degree-offreedom setup is finally discussed by means of simulation studies. Furthermore, a comparison of the achieved results with a model predictive control approach is carried out.","PeriodicalId":222660,"journal":{"name":"2018 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121590992","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}

Indeed, recent studies have highlighted as during a single launch manoeuvre the interface temperature can amount about 30–35 Celsius degree. Consequently, after only few repeated engagements in short time the clutch material temperature can attain critical values, i.e. 250–300 Celsius degree. For this reason, the electric motor contribution to reduce overheating of clutch material during the slipping phase could represent a good solution to avoid dry clutch damage. In this paper a high-level Model Predictive Controller with time-variant penalty weights accordingly with working conditions has been implemented. The goal of this study is to manage both internal combustion engine and electric motor during clutch engagements in order to relieve dry clutch during a critical launch manoeuvre. Particularly, the following scenario has been assumed: high initial clutch temperature due to previous repeated engagements, up-hill start-up manoeuvre and low initial SOC.","PeriodicalId":222660,"journal":{"name":"2018 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121703705","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}
