Xiao, J. (author), Wang, L. (author), Qin, Z. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Communication-based distributed secondary control is deemed necessary to restore the state of islanding AC microgrids to set points. As its limited global information, the microgrids become vulnerable to cyber-attacks, which by falsifying the communicating singles, like the angular frequency, can disturb the power dispatch in the microgrids...journal article 2024

Lv, Maolong (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Wang, Ying (author), Shen, Di (author)This article attempts to realize zero-error constrained tracking for hypersonic flight vehicles (HFVs) subject to unknown control directions and asymmetric flight state constraints. The main challenges of reaching such goals consist in that addressing multiple unknown control directions requires novel conditional inequalities encompassing the...journal article 2023

Wang, Yixia (author), Lin, Shu (author), Wang, Yibing (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Xu, Jungang (author)Currently, with the development of driving technologies, driverless vehicles gradually are becoming more and more available. Therefore, there would be a long period of time during which self-driving vehicles and human-driven vehicles coexist.

(author), Quek, Glenn (author), Ohayon, David (author), Wang, Xuehang (author), Bazan, Guillermo C. (author)A subclass of organic semiconductors known as conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) is characterized by a conjugated backbone with ionic pendant groups. The water solubility of CPEs typically hinders applications of thin films in aqueous media. Herein, it is reported that films of an anionic CPE, namely CPE-K, drop cast from water produces...journal article 2023

Chen, G. (author), Zhang, Ke (author), Wang, Sheng (author), Jia, T. (author)Physically-based hydrological-geotechnical modeling at large scales is difficult, especially due to the time-consuming nature of flow routing and 3D soil stability models. Although parallelization techniques are commonly used for each model individually, there is currently no concurrent parallelization strategy for both. This study proposed...journal article 2023

(author), Zhang, Chenghui (author)The synchronization of power generators is an important condition for the proper functioning of a power system, in which the fluctuations in frequency and the phase angle differences between the generators are sufficiently small when subjected to stochastic disturbances. Serious fluctuations can prompt desynchronization, which may lead to...journal article 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
