Semantically Enhanced Online Configuration of Feedback Control Schemes
(2018)
Recent progress toward the realization of the “Internet of Things” has improved the ability of physical and soft/cyber entities to operate effectively within large-scale, heterogeneous systems. It is important that such ...
Distributed Design of Sensor Fault-Tolerant Control for Preserving Comfortable Indoor Conditions in Buildings⁎⁎This work was supported by the European Research Council under the ERC Advanced Grant ERC-2011-AdG-291508 and by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 739551 (KIOS CoE).
(2018)
This paper proposes a distributed fault-tolerant control (FTC) scheme that can preserve thermal comfort conditions in a multi-zone building despite the presences of faulty temperature sensors. The proposed methodology ...
Centralized Fault Detection of Complex Uncertain Hybrid Systems ⁎⁎This work has been supported by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 739551 (KIOS CoE) and from the Government of the Republic of Cyprus through the Directorate General for European Programmes, Coordination and Development.
(2018)
This paper presents a centralized fault detection scheme for hybrid systems with nonlinear uncertain continuous dynamics and measurement noise. The scheme features a modular observer based on a modified hybrid automaton ...
Reducing Vulnerability to Cyber-Physical Attacks in Water Distribution Networks
(2018)
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), such as Water Distribution Networks (WDNs), deploy digital devices to monitor and control the behavior of physical processes. These digital devices, however, are susceptible to cyber and ...
Distributed Sensor Fault Accommodation of Multi-Zone HVAC Systems
(2018)
This paper presents a distributed methodology for controlling multi-zone Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems and a fault accommodation scheme for reconfiguring the distributed controller in the presence ...
Comparative analysis of parameter extraction techniques for the electrical characterization of multi-junction CPV and m-Si technologies
(2018)
Modelling the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of photovoltaic (PV) modules under real operating conditions is crucial for the better understanding of each technology. The most commonly used model for the electrical ...
ALCHEMI – A low cost, high efficiency, optoelectronic HCPV module for 1000× operation
(2018)
his paper summarizes the current status of the ALCHEMI project, a European collaborative undertaking under the Solar-Era.Net co-fund scheme. The project’s aim is to develop novel, low cost, HCPV modules that operate at ...
Optimal Estimation via Nonanticipative Rate Distortion Function and Applications to Time-Varying Gauss--Markov Processes
(2018)
In this paper, we develop finite-time horizon causal filters for general processes taking values in Polish spaces using the nonanticipative rate distortion function ($NRDF$). Subsequently, we apply the $NRDF$ to design ...
Control-Coding Capacity of Decision Models Driven by Correlated Noise and Gaussian Application Examples
(2018)
We characterize the n -finite time feedback information (FTFI) control-coding capacity of decision models (DMs) driven by correlated noise. Under information stability the per unit limit, called control-coding (CC) capacity ...
