They comprise electronic power converters and a variety of renewable energy sources. Power quality (PQ) controllers for renewable sources have been modeled in order to handle the high energy demand. Although numerous solutions have been utilized thus far, the PQ issue demands specific consideration. Hence, the unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) is proposed to address the problem of PQ enhancement in electric vehicle (EV) connected charging stations (CS). For tuning UPQC, the tilt and proportional integral derivatives are cascaded (C-TI-PI) together. In addition, the golden search optimization algorithm (GSOA) is included to control the battery's charging behavior of the bidirectional buck boost converter. The implementation is carried out through MATLAB/Simulink, and the observed result shows the stability and efficacy of the proposed controller. The implementation results are analyzed through two cases to validate the robustness of a proposed C-TI-PI-based UPQC controller. Moreover, the total harmonic distortions (THD) are also determined for the proposed strategy and compared with the traditional methods. The overall characteristic response reveals the effectiveness of a proposed controller.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50291,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control","volume":"35 15","pages":"6589-6603"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145101260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper is concerned with the issue of proposing sufficient conditions for simultaneously verifying the stability and safety of time-varying switched nonlinear systems (TSNS) under a state-dependent but unsafe-region-independent switching signal. Specifically, based on multiple Lyapunov functions and multiple barrier functions, we at first present several sufficient conditions for simultaneously obtaining the (uniform) stability with safety, (uniform) asymptotic stability with safety, and (uniform) exponential stability with safety of TSNS with any form of unsafe set. Furthermore, considering the broad applications of finite-time stability in practical systems, a sufficient condition for simultaneously achieving finite-time stability and safety is presented. Note that the above conditions relax the requirements of the nonincreasing property of the multiple Lyapunov functions and multiple barrier functions along the trajectories of TSNS.

The main contribution of this paper is solving this problem in two typical coordinated control problems based on a time-varying quadratic Lyapunov function. First, the stochastic approximation for consensus problem of discrete-time single-integrator MASs with additive noises is studied. We build the weak consensus, mean square and almost sure consensus conclusion under the assumption that the time-varying network is uniformly strongly connected (USC) by adopting the stochastic approximation-based consensus protocol. The convergence rate of the weak consensus is also quantified. Second, the stochastic approximation for formation control problem of MASs with relative-position information in the plane as an application of the built consensus conclusion is studied. We show that the stochastic approximation-based formation control law can be used to achieve the desired formation for MASs if the network is USC.

We assume that the unknown NL system operates around a stable, slowly varying (nominal) operating point. The system trajectory is then perturbed slightly via small input perturbations. While the system's operating point evolves slowly over time, the small (broadband) input signal excites the system dynamics. We demonstrate that the NL system's response to these small perturbations can be approximated by a Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) system model. Furthermore, we show that this LPV model represents the linearized version of the unknown NL system around the operating point. A new parametrization for the LPV model coefficients, referred to as “gradient-parameterized” LPV coefficients, is introduced, establishing a structural relationship between the coefficients. This structural relationship reduces the number of parameters to be estimated and ensures that the LPV model always corresponds to the linearized form of the NL system. Additionally, we demonstrate that this LPV model structure allows for the unique reconstruction of the NL system model through symbolic integration, resulting in a closed-form nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE). This integration introduces a second structural relationship, linking the LPV model to the NL model. By leveraging these two structural relationships, we reformulate the problem of NL system identification via linearization as a combined estimation problem, leading to a unified LPV-NL estimation framework. This approach utilizes all available data, including perturbation data (linear response) and the varying operating point (NL response). The proposed approach employs a combined estimator to locally identify the joint LPV-NL model within the neighborhood of the system's operating point. Although the estimated NL model is localized around this nominal trajectory, an experimental approach is proposed to reduce the linear approximation error, thereby enlarging the validity region of the final model. Finally, we present a numerical example to illustrate the performance of the proposed method.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50291,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control","volume":"35 15","pages":"6545-6563"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145101338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
