Mohammadkarimi, M. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author), Rajan, R.T. (author)A new method for joint ranging and Phase Offset (PO) estimation of multiple drones/aircrafts is proposed in this paper. The proposed method employs the superimposed uncoordinated Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) packets broadcasted by drones/aircrafts for joint range and PO estimation. It jointly estimates range and PO prior...journal article 2024

Failure anticipation scheme in distribution systems based on wave distortions and Montecarlo methodsBhandia, R. (author), de Jesus Chavez, Jose (author), Cvetkovic, M. (author), Garcia-Vite, Pedro M. (author), Popov, M. (author), Palensky, P. (author)Anticipating failures is vital for maintaining a reliable power supply. Advanced measurement devices in the grid generate vast data that contains valuable information on grid operations. Initial signatures of an incipient failure are often reflected in this data in the form of electrical waveform distortions. Conventional protection schemes are...review 2024

van Dinten, I. (author), Derakhshanfar, Pouria (author), Panichella, A. (author), Zaidman, A.E. (author)Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) have gained traction in recent years. A major non-functional quality of CPS is performance since it affects both usability and security. This critical quality attribute depends on the specialized hardware, simulation engines, and environmental factors that characterize the system under analysis. While a large body...journal article 2024

Rosa, Tábitha E. (author), de Paula Carvalho, Leonardo (author), de Albuquerque Gleizer, G. (author), Jayawardhana, Bayu (author)Motivated by the physical exchange of energy and its dissipation in electro-mechanical systems, we propose a new fault detection method based on data-driven dissipativity analysis. We first identify a dissipativity inequality using one or multiple shots of data obtained from a linear time-invariant system. This dissipativity inequality's...journal article 2024
