Abou Harfouch, Youssef (author), Yuan, S. (author), Baldi, S. (author)Despite the progresses in Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC), a crucial limitation of the state-of-the-art of this control scheme is that the string stability of the platoon can be proven only when the vehicles in the platoon have identical driveline dynamics (homogeneous platoons). In this paper, we present a novel control strategy...conference paper 2017

Yuan, S. (author), Zhang, F. (author), Baldi, S. (author)In this paper, adaptive tracking control of switched nonlinear systems in the parametric strict-feedback form is investigated. After defining a reparametrisation lemma in the presence of a non-zero reference signal, we propose a new adaptive backstepping design of the virtual controllers that can handle the extra terms arising from the...journal article 2017

Abou Harfouch, Youssef (author), Yuan, S. (author), Baldi, S. (author)The advances in distributed inter-vehicle communication networks have stimulated a fruitful line of research in Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC). In CACC, individual vehicles, grouped into platoons, must automatically adjust their own speed using on-board sensors and communication with the preceding vehicle so as to maintain a safe...journal article 2017

Yuan, S. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Baldi, S. (author)In this paper, robust adaptive tracking control schemes for uncertain switched linear systems subject to disturbances are investigated. The robust adaptive control problem requires the design of both adaptive and switching laws. A novel adaptive law is proposed based on an extended leakage approach, which does not require knowledge of the bounds...journal article 2018

Moustakis, N. (author), Yuan, S. (author), Baldi, S. (author)This paper establishes an adaptive tracking approach for linear systems with parametric uncertainties, when input measurements are quantized due to the presence of a communication network closing the control loop. In order to address the tracking problem, a novel dynamic quantizer with dynamic offset is introduced and embedded into an...conference paper 2018

Yuan, S. (author), Zhang, Lixian (author), Holub, Ondrej (author), Baldi, S. (author)This letter introduces a new switched adaptive control mechanism that can cope with parametric uncertainty while using discrete and saturated actuators. Control of air handling units (AHUs), where air and water supply have discrete and saturated characteristics, is the motivational drive behind this letter. We show that the cheap actuation...journal article 2018

Moustakis, N. (author), Yuan, S. (author), Baldi, S. (author)This paper addresses the problem of asymptotic tracking for switched linear systems with parametric uncertainties and dwell-time switching, when input measurements are quantized due to the presence of a communication network closing the control loop. The problem is solved via a dynamic quantizer with dynamic offset that, embedded in a model...journal article 2018

Yuan, S. (author), Zhang, Lixian (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Baldi, S. (author)In this paper, a novel Lyapunov function is proposed to study switched linear systems with a switching delay between activation of system modes and activation of candidate controller modes. The novelty consists in continuity of the Lyapunov function at the switching instants and discontinuity when the system modes and controller modes are...journal article 2018

Yuan, S. (author)As a special class of hybrid systems, switched systems have attracted a lot of attention in the last decade due to theoretical and practical interests. When controlling switched systems, a ubiquitous problem is the presence of large parametric uncertainties and external disturbances. However, the state of the art on adaptive and robust control...doctoral thesis 2018

Yuan, S. (author), Zhang, Lixian (author), Baldi, S. (author)In the presence of discontinuous time-varying delays, neither Krasovskii nor Razumikhin techniques can be successfully applied to adaptive stabilization of uncertain switched time-delay systems. This paper develops a new adaptive control scheme for switched time-delay systems that can handle impulsive behavior in both states and time-varying...journal article 2019

(author)Kenmerkend voor bedrijven die in een cluster gelegen zijn, zijn de onderlinge risico’s waarbij de risico’s van één bedrijf aanleiding kunnen geven tot nieuwe risico’s bij een aangrenzend of een nabijgelegen bedrijf. Daarbij gaat het om de mogelijkheid op domino-effecten, keteneffecten, of nadelige effecten (letsel/schade). Voor (petro)chemische...report 2021

Yuan, S. (author), Lv, Maolong (author), Baldi, S. (author), Zhang, Lixian (author)This article investigates the stability of continuous-time switched linear systems with dwell-time constraints. A fresh insight into this established problem is provided via novel stability conditions that require the solution to a family of differential Lyapunov equations and algebraic Lyapunov equations. The proposed analysis, which leads...journal article 2021
