Screening of representative rainfall event series for long-term hydrological performance evaluation of grassed swales

Evaluation of the hydrological performance of grassed swales usually needs long-term monitoring data. At present, suitable techniques for simulating the hydrological performance using limited monitoring data are not available. Therefore, current study aims to investigate the relationship between saturated hydraulic conductivity (K_s...

Real-time UAV routing strategy for monitoring and inspection for post-disaster restoration of distribution networks

Natural disasters pose a tremendous risk to the reliability of distribution networks. In this paper, a novel real-time UAV routing strategy for coordination between monitoring and inspection for post-disaster restoration in distribution networks is proposed. With our proposed real-time UAV routing strategy, damages can be inspected by UAVs...

Traffic models of periodic event-triggered control systems

Periodic event-triggered control (PETC) [13] is a version of event-triggered control that only requires the measurement of the plant output periodically instead of continuously. In this note, we present a construction of timing models for these PETC implementations to capture the dynamics of the traffic they generate. In the construction, we...

Decentralized periodic event-triggered control with quantization and asynchronous communication

Asynchronous decentralized event-triggered control (ADETC) Mazo Jr. and Cao (2014) is an implementation of controllers characterized by decentralized event generation, asynchronous sampling updates, and dynamic quantization. Combining those elements in ADETC results in a parsimonious transmission of information which makes it suitable for...

Communication schemes for centralized and decentralized event-triggered control systems

Energy constraint long-range wireless sensor/actuator-based solutions are theoretically the perfect choice to support the next generation of city-scale cyber-physical systems. Traditional systems adopt periodic control which increases network congestion and actuations while burdens the energy consumption. Recent control theory studies...
