Stable Adaptation in Multi-Area Load Frequency Control under Dynamically-Changing Topologies

Multi-area load frequency control (LFC) selects and controls a few generators in each area of the power system in an effort to dampen inter-area frequency oscillations. To effectively dampen such oscillations, it is required to enhance and lower the control activity dynamically during operation, so as to adapt to changing circumstances....

Artificial-Delay Adaptive Control for Under-actuated Euler-Lagrange Robotics

Artificial-delay control is a method in which state and input measurements collected at an immediate past time instant (i.e. artificially delayed) are used to compensate the uncertain dynamics affecting the system at the current time. This work formulates an artificial-delay control method with adaptive gains in the presence of nonlinear ...

Wide-Area Damping Control Resilience towards Cyber-Attacks: A Dynamic Loop Approach

By increasingly relying on network-based operation for control, monitoring, and protection functionalities, modern wide-area power systems have also become vulnerable to cyber-attacks aiming to damage system performance and/or stability. Resilience in state-of-the-art methods mostly relies on known characteristics of the attacks and static...

A simultaneous adaptation law for a class of nonlinearly-parametrized switched systems

This letter proposes a new adaptive control method for a class of nonlinearly-parametrized switched systems that includes Monod kinetics and Euler-Lagrange systems with nonlinear in parameters form as special cases. As compared to the adaptive switched frameworks proposed in literature, the proposed adaptation framework has the distinguishing...
