Closed-loop Aspects of Data-Enabled Predictive Control

In recent years, the amount of data available from systems has drastically increased, motivating the use of direct data-driven control techniques that avoid the need of parametric modeling. The aim of this paper is to analyze closed-loop aspects of these approaches in the presence of noise. To analyze this, a unified formulation of several...

Subspace Predictive Control for Vertical Axis Wind Turbines

To extract energy from wind, both Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT)s and Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT)s are used. Different from the HAWT, the axis of rotation of the VAWT is perpendicular to the ground. This vertical design offers some unique advantages for the VAWT. For example, the generator of the VAWT is located on the ground, hence...
