The linear models identified using measurements and signals available in real-time, i.e effective wind speed at the turbine rotors and control signals, show more than 85 % variance-accounted-for (VAF). Different Koopman lifting function combinations, motivated by the 2D Navier-Stokes equations, governing the underlying wake interaction, are compared. The obtained Koopman models are used in closed-loop in the WFSim environment. The design of the qLMPC wind farm controller is provided and it is shown that the underlying quadratic programming (QP) converges in milliseconds thus making this design applicable in real-time to small wind farms. Finally, the results for power reference tracking obtained with qLMPC are shown based on estimated wind. It is demonstrated that using Koopman extended dynamic mode decomposition (EDMD) for wind estimation can lead to high-quality farm level control in the absence of wind measurements.","PeriodicalId":374682,"journal":{"name":"2022 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125196376","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 non-smooth Lyapunov analysis is utilized to establish that consensus is guaranteed under the proposed protocol for any detailed-balanced digraph with any positive gains. With numerical simulations, the proposed protocol is compared with the pre-vious binary measurement-based protocol to show that the performance under the proposed protocol is least affected despite the lack of velocity measurements.","PeriodicalId":374682,"journal":{"name":"2022 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120885864","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 paradigmatic shift involves new challenges that require enhancing the electricity system's flexibility while preserving its integrity and stability. One way of dealing with them is by unbundling the electrical network into smaller, more manageable units, known as microgrids (MG). Nonetheless, the usage of distributed architectures leads to more exchanged data and control information between end agents, involving security or privacy issues. In this context, blockchain technology emerges as a feasible solution that promises transparent, tamper-proof, and safe systems in a decentralized ecosystem. This paper proposes a distributed energy management platform that takes full advantage of the blockchain technology to enable safe peer to peer (P2P) transactions. A Distributed model predictive control (DMPC) scheme is adopted, and its performance is compared with the centralized approach.","PeriodicalId":374682,"journal":{"name":"2022 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"22 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120968080","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}

After revisiting results on Non Linear Programming sensitivity for degenerate optimization problems, we conclude that Quadratic Programming (QP) provides a local solution to the replanification problem. Using three illustrative PDG scenarios, we stress degeneracy and show how QP is used to evaluate the upper Dini derivatives at stake. Further, we discuss to what extent QP also provides a quantitatively reasonable solution outside a small neighboorhood of the reference scenarios.","PeriodicalId":374682,"journal":{"name":"2022 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121112835","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 mixed-integer setting may arise from distributed control problems of hybrid dynamical systems, or distributed machine learning problems using support vector machines. It is shown in this paper that the consensus of mixed-integer variables is guaranteed to be achieved by a tailored series of continuous consensus problems.","PeriodicalId":374682,"journal":{"name":"2022 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125792856","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}

Agents may have different state dimensions and different dynamics. A finite-time observer (FO) is firstly proposed to estimate the uncertain leader's system dynamics. Then, based on the above FO, an adaptive observer (AO) is designed to estimate leader's state information. Thirdly, a novel state predictor is proposed to tackle the input delay effect based on the above AO and output regulation theory. After that, a third observer is designed to estimate the above state predictor so that the controller can be implemented in reality. The stability analysis is performed via Lyapunov stability theory with sufficient conditions derived in terms of an algebraic Riccati equation. The main achievement of this work is the construction of an observer-based fully distributed controller (FDC) which relies on local information only and does not require knowledge of the leader's dynamics or global graph information. As a result, such an approach can be implemented to large-scale systems. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed FDC is verified via simulations and the influence of the system's graph structure on the convergence rate of the FDC is discussed.","PeriodicalId":374682,"journal":{"name":"2022 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123439593","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, in this context, many problems arise, such as the well known Catastrophic Forgetting and Capacity Saturation ones.
