Qiu, Xiujiao (author), Chen, J. (author), Deprez, Maxim (author), Cnudde, Veerle (author), Ye, G. (author), De Schutter, Geert (author)The microstructure of alkali-reactive aggregates, especially the spatial distribution of the pore and reactive silica phase, plays a significant role in the process of the alkali silica reaction (ASR) in concrete, as it determines not only the reaction front of ASR but also the localization of the produced expansive product from where the...journal article 2021

Pippia, T.M. (author), Lago, Jesus (author), De Coninck, Roel (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)State-of-the-art Model Predictive Control (MPC) applications for building heating adopt either a deterministic controller together with a nonlinear model or a linearized model with a stochastic MPC controller. However, deterministic MPC only considers one single realization of the disturbances and its performance strongly depends on the...journal article 2021

Liu, S. Y. (author), Lin, S. (author), Wang, Y. B. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Lam, W. H.K. (author)In order to better understand the stochastic dynamic features of signalized traffic networks, we propose a Markov traffic model to simulate the dynamics of traffic link flow density for signalized urban traffic networks with demand uncertainty. In this model, we have four different state modes for the link according to different congestion...journal article 2021

de Gelder, E. (author), Cator, Eric (author), Paardekooper, Jan Pieter (author), Op den Camp, Olaf (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)The safety assessment of Automated Vehicles (AVs) is an important aspect of the development cycle of AVs. A scenario-based assessment approach is accepted by many players in the field as part of the complete safety assessment. A scenario is a representation of a situation on the road to which the AV needs to respond appropriately. One way to...conference paper 2021

Alavi, F. (author), van de Wouw, N. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)A microgrid in the islanded mode is considered where a fleet of fuel cell cars is used as a distributed power generation system. The objective of the proposed control system is to minimize the operational cost of the system, subject to the physical and operational constraints of the system. In order to deal with uncertainty in the prediction...journal article 2020

Lv, Maolong (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Yu, Wenwu (author), Zhang, Wenqian (author), Baldi, S. (author)This paper proposes a novel adaptive fuzzy dynamic surface control (DSC) method for an extended class of periodically disturbed strict-feedback nonlinear systems. The peculiarity of this extended class is that the control gain functions are not bounded a priori but simply taken to be continuous and with a known sign. In contrast with existing...journal article 2020

van den Boom, A.J.J. (author), Muijsenberg, Marenne van den (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)In this paper we discuss scheduling of semi-cyclic discrete-event systems, for which the set of operations may vary over a limited set of possible sequences of operations. We introduce a unified modeling framework in which different types of semi-cyclic discrete-event systems can be described by switching max-plus linear (SMPL) models. We use...journal article 2020

Sapountzoglou, Nikolaos (author), Lago, Jesus (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Raison, Bertrand (author)Power outages in electrical grids can have very negative economic and societal impacts rendering fault diagnosis paramount to their secure and reliable operation. In this paper, deep neural networks are proposed for fault detection and location in low-voltage smart distribution grids. Due to its key properties, the proposed method solves some...journal article 2020

de Gelder, E. (author), Manders, Jeroen (author), Grappiolo, Corrado (author), Paardekooper, Jan Pieter (author), Camp, Olaf Op Den (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Scenario-based methods for the assessment of Automated Vehicles (AVs) are widely supported by many players in the automotive field. Scenarios captured from real-world data can be used to define the scenarios for the assessment and to estimate their relevance. Therefore, different techniques are proposed for capturing scenarios from real-world...conference paper 2020

De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), van den Boom, A.J.J. (author), Xu, J. (author), Safaei Farahani, S. (author)The objective of this paper is to provide a concise introduction to the max-plus algebra and to max-plus linear discrete-event systems. We present the basic concepts of the max-plus algebra and explain how it can be used to model a specific class of discrete-event systems with synchronization but no concurrency. Such systems are called max...journal article 2020

Zeinaly, Y. (author), van Schuppen, J.H. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Positive systems with positive inputs and positive outputs are used in several branches of engineering, biochemistry, and economics. Both control theory and system theory require the concept of reachability of a time-invariant discrete-time linear positive system. The subset of the state set that is reachable from the origin is therefore of...journal article 2020

Kassing, R.C. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Abraham, E. (author)Distributing water optimally is a complex problem that many farmers face yearly, especially in times of drought. In this work, we propose optimization‐based feedback control to improve crop yield and water productivity in agriculture irrigation for a plantation consisting of multiple fields. The interaction between soil, water, crop (sugarcane...journal article 2020

Gupta, A. (author), van den Boom, A.J.J. (author), van der Woude, J.W. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)We propose a framework for studying the stability of discrete-event systems modelled as switching max-plus linear systems. In this framework, we propose a set of notions of stability for generic discrete-event systems in the max-plus algebra. Then we show the loss of equivalence of these notions for switching max-plus linear systems due to the...journal article 2020

Gupta, A. (author), van den Boom, A.J.J. (author), van der Woude, J.W. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)We introduce a framework for studying controllability properties of discrete-event systems modelled as switching max-plus linear systems. In this framework, we generalise the notion of structural controllability to include the switching phenomenon. Such models provide an additional discrete input to change the synchronisation and/or ordering...journal article 2020

(author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Lukszo, Z. (author)In recent years, the European Union (EU) has set ambitious targets toward a carbon-free energy transition. Many studies show that a drastic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions-at least 90% by 2050-is required. In the transition toward a sustainable energy system, solar (or green) hydrogen plays many important roles, as it is a clean and safe...journal article 2019

van de Weg, Goof Sterk (author), Hegyi, A. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Freeway congestion can reduce the freeway throughput due to the capacity drop or due to blocking caused by spillback to upstream ramps. Research has shown that congestion can be reduced by the application of ramp metering and variable speed limits. Model predictive control is a promising strategy for the optimization of the ramp metering...journal article 2019
