Guo, Baiwei (author), Wang, Y. (author), Kamgarpour, Maryam (author), Ferrari-Trecate, Giancarlo (author)To solve unmodeled optimization problems with hard constraints, this paper proposes a novel zeroth-order approach called Safe Zeroth-order Optimization using Linear Programs (SZO-LP). The SZO-LP method solves a linear program in each iteration to find a descent direction, followed by a step length determination. We prove that, under mild...conference paper 2023

Zhang, Haoming (author), Wang, Zhanxin (author), Vallery, H. (author)The global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) play a vital role in transport systems for accurate and consistent vehicle localization. However, GNSS observations can be distorted due to multipath effects and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) receptions in challenging environments such as urban canyons. In such cases, traditional methods to classify...conference paper 2023

Wang, L. (author), Qin, Z. (author), Xiao, J. (author), Bauer, P. (author)The critical short circuit ratio (CSCR), as an important metric for grid stability evaluation, is not clearly defined in the literature. Aimed at clarifying the misunderstandings, the paper compares the different CSCR definitions. Moreover, CSCR reduction-oriented design is studied for electric vehicle chargers. Simulations verify the analysis.conference paper 2023

Wang, L. (author), Qin, Z. (author), Wu, Y. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Reinforcement of the legacy grid infrastructure will be very costly and thereby unrealistic. Consequently, weak grid connection of electric vehicle (EV) chargers will sooner or later be the case. It may however bring instability issues since the EV chargers that can work well in strong grid conditions usually do not fit the weak grid...conference paper 2023

Wang, Weizheng (author), Vaidya, G. (author), Bhattacharjee, A.K. (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Zuniga, Marco (author)Sensing people with mmWave radars is gaining significant attention. This growing interest is due to two factors: radar monitoring provides more privacy than camera-based alternatives, and radio waves are not as easily blocked as light waves. Most mmWave studies, however, have three common characteristics. They are done indoors, without...conference paper 2023
