The MPC formulation takes the Federal Aviation Regulations for collision avoidance mid-air collision scenarios into account. The optimal control inputs to the UAV in the form of angular velocities are computed by optimizing the MPC cost function for a finite prediction horizon. The algorithm is evaluated for pairwise and multi-UAV conflict scenarios and compared against inverse proportional navigation (IPN) collision avoidance approach. The results show that MPC has lower control effort than the IPN while achieving similar performance of IPN.","PeriodicalId":231050,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth Indian Control Conference (ICC)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133606594","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 provide an incremental, single pass and adaptive variance reduction technique to estimate extreme quantiles.

The existing SDRE technique for continuous time, finite horizon, optimal tracking problem is approximate and involves several steps which makes it computationally complex. In this paper, a simplified SDRE technique is proposed for a nonlinear closed loop finite horizon optimal tracking problem. For tracking, one is faced with not only solving the nonlinear matrix differential Riccati equation (DRE) but also solving the nonhomogeneous vector differential equation (VDE). The proposed simplified SDRE method for optimal tracking, without the assumption of the Riccati coefficient and vector coefficient being constant during the small intervals of the finite-horizon period, employs the analytic solution of matrix DRE and VDE and the associated MATLAB program developed by the authors of this paper at each small intervals, thereby avoiding the approximate nature and eliminating the several steps associated with the existing SDRE technique. The proposed simplified finite horizon SDRE tracking technique is illustrated with a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind energy conversion system (WECS).","PeriodicalId":231050,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth Indian Control Conference (ICC)","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122686690","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}

In this paper, the update equations of PIO algorithm are regarded as a discrete time-varying system and its convergence is analysed. This paper attempts to establish the convergence of PIO algorithm using two methods. The first method uses the state transition matrix approach and the second method is based on showing the convergence using the solution of linear discrete time-varying systems. Further, the appropriate choice of the parameter in PIO algorithm and its influence on the convergence of the algorithm is also discussed.","PeriodicalId":231050,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth Indian Control Conference (ICC)","volume":"275 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130911537","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}

However, the very uncertain nature of wind is generally ignored while designing a wind farm. Depending on the decently long life span of wind turbines, wind farms can face long term variations in the wind flow, affecting the power production capability severely. In this study, a flexible robust optimization methodology has been proposed to design wind farm layouts under varying wind state conditions. The proposed methodology assumes different realizations of wind state uncertainty distributions in terms of different frequencies of occurrences for wind speeds and directions and provides solutions for the worst case and the best case scenarios by solving two-stage robust counterpart formulations. Using the idea of index representation of grids, a novel technique utilizing the concept of variable resolution grid on need has been proposed to provide Pareto solutions for the multi-objective cost-power trade-off problem. The pros and cons of these competitive solutions and the benefits of adopting the worst case over the deterministic solutions (for each scenario considering no uncertainty) have been thoroughly analyzed to provide an idea of the minimum guaranteed power production that can be achieved under uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":231050,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth Indian Control Conference (ICC)","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131368042","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}

A full order state-observer is designed to estimate the unmeasured wall temperatures of the zone because shared walls are the primary source of coupling between the interconnected zones. With this complete state information, the system is decomposed into control-oriented thermal models of individual zones. Subsequently, an integrated pseudo-decentralized fault-diagnosis and fault-tolerant approach based on pDeMPC scheme which utilizes the interaction among the zones is designed which can be easily scaled to buildings with a large number of zones, thereby, making it suitable for real-time implementation.

Rise in global warming and the increasing need for dependency on clean energy has motivated researchers to develop novel techniques for harnessing maximum energy from renewable sources such as solar irradiance. However, one major issue which is impeding the large scale optimal implementation of solar farms is the uncertainty associated with solar irradiance. Although several statistical forecasting methods have helped in this regard, they could not contribute to efficient utilization of solar energy. In this work, long short term memory networks (LSTMs) are implemented for modelling the time series data of solar irradiance. LSTMs are deep neural networks which are proven to be extremely efficient in modelling nonlinear time series data with long term dependencies. However, LSTM networks are modelled using several heuristically governed parameters, making them an ineffective tool for time series regression. A novel multi-objective evolutionary optimization framework is proposed for optimal design of LSTM networks for emulating the real world solar irradiance data. The optimally trained LSTMs are used to forecast 1 day-ahead hourly prediction. LSTMs are compared with state-of-the-art system identification tools – Wavelet networks and feedforward neural networks through nonlinear auto-regressive exogenous modelling. LSTMs were found to be better with a root mean square error of 13% and R2 (correlation coefficient-a statistical measure of goodness of fit) value of 0.976.","PeriodicalId":231050,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth Indian Control Conference (ICC)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130666924","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 IFKF is a trade-off between complexity and accuracy. Motivated by the observation that the innovation covariance matrix structure largely depends on the structure of the observation matrix, in this manuscript, we propose a generalized inverse-free Kalman filter (GIFKF). The proposed GIFKF is a generalization of the IFKF to cases where there are redundant measurements or measurements with strong correlations. Though not encountered often, the case of redundant measurements still has a considerable number of applications. In such cases, we note that the assumption of diagonal dominance on the innovation covariance matrix may no longer be reasonable and could result in poor performance of IFKF. The GIFKF proposed in this paper alleviates this problem by replacing the diagonal dominance assumption with block diagonal dominance, which improves the accuracy and applicability compared to the IFKF. The accuracy of the proposed method and the conformity of the assumption of block diagonal dominance in the case of redundant measurements is established through simulation results.","PeriodicalId":231050,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth Indian Control Conference (ICC)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131512525","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}
