Abstract
The increased efficiency and quality constraints imposed on electrical energy systems have inspired a renewed research interest in the study of formal approaches to the analysis and control of power electronics converters. Switched systems represent a useful framework for modeling these converters and the peculiarities of their operating conditions and control goals justify the specific classification of “switched electronic systems”. Indeed, idealized switched models of power converters introduce problems not commonly encountered when analyzing generic switched models or non-switched electrical networks. In that sense the analysis of switched electronic systems represents a source for new ideas and benchmarks for switched and hybrid systems generally. Dynamics and Control of Switched Electronic Systems draws on the expertise of an international group of expert contributors to give an overview of recent advances in the modeling, simulation and control of switched electronic systems. The reader is provided with a well-organized source of references and a mathematically-based report of the state of the art in analysis and design techniques for switched power converters. Intuitive language, realistic illustrative examples and numerical simulations help the reader to come to grips with the rigorous presentation of many promising directions of research such as: converter topologies and modulation techniques; continuous-time, discrete-time and hybrid models; modern control strategies for power converters; and challenges in numerical simulation. The guidance and information imparted in this text will be appreciated by engineers, and applied mathematicians working on system and circuit theory, control systems development, and electronic and energy conversion systems design. Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage the transfer of technology in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology has an impact on all areas of the control discipline. The series offers an opportunity for researchers to present an extended exposition of new work in all aspects of industrial control.

Abstract
Automotive transmissions are fundamental components in modern vehicles. They are required to make the engine operating at the most efficient conditions for providing the necessary torque at the wheels and minimising the fuel consumptions. Moreover, transmissions should be able to smooth or to filter out power source torque oscillations that can appear in the driveline. For achieving such objectives, the automotive industry has looked at different technological solutions. The introduction of electronically controlled transmissions contributed to augment the possibilities of new solutions that would not have been implementable without the flexibility and the performance of electronic control. Thus, recent technological developments of automotive transmissions gave the opportunity to engineers and control scientists for investigating challenging control problems with daily life practical applications.

Abstract
This investigation proposes a CPES architecture and model for engineering energy management application for smart grids. In particular, the investigation considers the implementation of the power systems state estimator (PSSE). The CPES architecture has three layers: physical, monitoring and applications. The physical layer consists of the grid and the various components. Since, the grid is usually engineered with various devices from multiple vendors that have different protocols and standards; data aggregation becomes a problem. The second layer of the CPES architecture overcomes this problem by proposing a middleware that aggregates data from the physical layer. The topmost layer is the applications layer, where the energy management system applications are implemented. These applications require the model, topology and information from the grid. This requires combining the physical aspects of the grid with the cyber ones. This investigation uses the common information model to model the grid and information exchanges. Then the model is combined with measurement and optimization models of the application to realize the PSSE. The proposed approach is illustrated on a Norwegian distribution grid in Steinkjer. Our results show that the CPES approach provides an easier way to engineer future smart grid applications.

Abstract
The increasing complexity of modern ground vehicles is making crucial the role of control for improving energetic efficiency, comfort and performance. At the same time, the control software must be frequently updated in order to let the vehicle respond safely and efficiently within more sophisticated environ- ments and to optimize the operations when new vehicle components are integrated. In this framework real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulations represent a fundamental tool for supporting the verification and validation processes of the control software and hardware. In this chapter a railway case study will be presented. The mathematical models of the most relevant electromechanical components of the vehicle powertrain are presented: the pantograph connected to an ideal overhead line with continuous voltage; the electrical components of a pre-charge circuit, the line filter and the braking chopper; the three-phase voltage source inverter and the induction motor; and, finally, the mechanical transmission system, including its interactions with the rail. Then the issues related to the real-time simulation of the locomotive components models are discussed, concentrating on challenges related to the stiff nature of the dynamic equations and on their numerical integration by combining field programmable gate array.

Abstract
Hard real-time scheduling problem of periodic tasks in the presence of aperiodic tasks occurrence is analyzed. A hybrid model of the tasks and of the Earliest Deadline First scheduling policy is proposed and its translation into a Mixed Logical Dynamic model is presented. The model is used to design an optimal admission controller that selects the best feasible period for the periodic tasks based on the prediction of the processor utilization.

Abstract
Multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), although originally designed and developed for defence and military purposes, in the last ten years have gained momentum, especially for civilian applications, such as search and rescue, surveying and mapping, and agricultural crops and monitoring. Thanks to their hovering and Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) capabilities and the capacity to carry out tasks with complete autonomy, they are now a standard platform for both research and industrial uses. However, while the flight control architecture is well established in the literature, there are still many challenges in designing autonomous guidance and navigation systems to make the UAV able to work in constrained and cluttered environments or also indoors. Therefore, the main motivation of this work is to provide a comprehensive and exhaustive literature review on the numerous methods and approaches to address path-planning problems for multi-rotor UAVs. In particular, the inclusion of a review of the related research in the context of Precision Agriculture (PA) provides a unified and accessible presentation for researchers who are initiating their endeavours in this subject.

Abstract
This article studies the solutions of time-dependent differential inclusions which is motivated by their utility in optimization algorithms and the modeling of physical systems. The differential inclusion is described by a time-dependent set-valued mapping having the property that, for a given time instant, the set-valued mapping describes a maximal monotone operator. By successive application of a proximal operator, we construct a sequence of functions parameterized by the sampling time that corresponds to the discretization of the continuous-time system. Under certain mild assumptions on the regularity with respect to the time argument, and using appropriate tools from functional and variational analysis, this sequence is then shown to converge to the unique solution of the original differential inclusion. The result is applied to develop conditions for well-posedness of differential equations interconnected with nonsmooth time-dependent complementarity relations, using passivity of underlying dynamics (equivalently expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities).

Abstract
The main motivation of this work is to propose a simulation approach for a specific task within the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) field, i.e., the visual detection and tracking of arbitrary moving objects. In particular, it is described MAT-Fly, a numerical simulation platform for multi-rotor aircraft characterized by the ease of use and control development. The platform is based on Matlab \textregistered and the MathWorks™ Virtual Reality (VR) and Computer Vision System (CVS) toolboxes that work together to simulate the behavior of a quad-rotor while tracking a car that moves along a nontrivial path. The VR toolbox has been chosen due to the familiarity that students have with Matlab and because it does not require a notable effort by the user for the learning and development phase thanks to its simple structure. The overall architecture is quite modular so that each block can be easily replaced with others simplifying the code reuse and the platform customization. Some simple testbeds are presented to show the validity of the approach and how the platform works. The simulator is released as open-source, making it possible to go through any part of the system, and available for educational purposes.

Abstract
Exponential stability of the origin of linear complementarity systems (LCS) is analyzed by applying Lyapunov theory. By representing the feasibility and the solution sets of the LCS as cones, a cone-copositive approach is used to get sufficient stability conditions expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). The proposed method is constructive in the sense that the solution of the set of LMI directly provides a quadratic Lyapunov function. Sufficient conditions for piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions are obtained, as well. Illustrative examples show the effectiveness of the approach.

Abstract
In recent years, the complementarity formalism has been shown to be an interesting framework for the mathematical representation of a large class of power converters. In this paper, the complementarity model of a resonant LLC power converter is presented. The model usefulness is demonstrated for the identification of the circuit parameters and for the numerical analysis of the stationary behavior. The comparison between experimental measurements and numerical results shows the efficacy of the proposed approach.

Abstract
Single and dual dry clutches are widely used in automotive transmissions because of their reliability and efficiency paired with low fuel consumption and reduction of pollutant emissions. A prerequisite to attain these goals in automated manual transmissions is the adoption of a “good” clutch model and the design of a robust control strategy. Several papers have been dedicated to modeling and engagement control of dry clutches, both in mechanical and control engineering literature. The wide practical interest of the application and the maturity of the research field motivate the need for a state of the art analysis on the topic. This paper aims at exploring clutch transmissibility models and engagement control strategies proposed in the last decades. An overview of dry clutch torque modeling is proposed together with a discussion on the main factors which affect the torque transmission, such as temperature, sliding speed, contact pressure, wear. Then, the prevalent clutch actuator architectures and control strategies are analyzed by discussing pros, cons and open issues. The survey is concluded by suggesting some topics of interest for future research.

Abstract
Two Major challenges in securing reliable Optimal Power Flow (OPF) operations are: (i) fluctuations induced due to renewable generators and energy demand, and (ii) interaction and interoperability among the different entities. Addressing these issues requires handling both physical (e.g., power flows) and cyber aspects (computing and communication) of the energy grids, i.e, a cyber-physical systems (CPS) approach is necessitated. First, this investigation proposes a receding horizon control (RHC) based approach for solving OPF to deal with the uncertainties. It uses forecasts on renewable generation and demand and an optimization model solving a predictive control problem to secure energy balance while meeting the network constraints. Second, to handle the interoperability issues, a middleware using common information model (CIM) for exchanging information among applications and the associated profiles are presented. CIM profiles modelling various components and aspects of the RHC based OPF is proposed. In addition, a middleware architecture and services to collect information is discussed. The proposed CPS approach is illustrated in a distribution grid in Steinkjer, Norway having 85 nodes, 700 customers, 3 hydrogenerators, and various industrial loads. Our results demonstrate the benefits of CPS approach to implement OPF addressing also the interoperability issues.

Abstract
Energy management in electric grids with multiple energy sources, generators, storage devices, and interacting loads along with their complex behaviours requires grid wide control. Communication infrastructure that aggregates information from heterogeneous devices in the electric grid making the applications completely independent of physical connectivity are essential for building in the context of control applications. This investigation presents a semantic middleware that is used to implement a receding horizon based optimal power flow in smart grids. The presence of renewable energy sources, storage systems and loads dispersed all along the grid necessitates the use of grid wide control and a communication infrastructure to support it. To this extent the proposed middleware will serve as the basis for representing various components of the power grid. It is enriched with intelligence by semantic annotation and ontologies that provide situation awareness and context discovery. The middleware deployment is demonstrated by implementing the receding horizon OPF in a network in Steinkjer, Norway. Our results demonstrate the advantages of both the middleware and the algorithm. Furthermore, the results prove the added flexibility obtained in the grid due to the addition of renewable energy and storage systems. The significant advantage of the proposed approach is that the real-time monitoring infrastructure is used for improving the flexibility, reliability and efficiency of the grid.

Abstract
In this paper, the theory of robust min–max control is extended to hierarchical and multiplayer dynamic games for linear quadratic discrete time systems. The proposed game model con- sists of one leader and many followers, while the performance of all players is affected by disturbance. The Stackelberg–Nash-saddle equilibrium point of the game is derived and a necessary and suffi- cient condition for the existence and uniqueness of such a solution is obtained. In the infinite time horizon, it is shown that the solution of the Riccati equation is upper bounded under a condition that is called individual controllability. By assuming such a condition and using a time-varying Lyapunov function the input-to-state stability of the hierarchical dynamic game is achieved, considering the opti- mal feedback strategies of the players and an arbitrary disturbance as the input.

Abstract
Luminous flux tracking and junction temperature stress minimization are typical objectives in the regulation of high-brightness Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). In this paper a solution based on a Model Predictive Controller (MPC) approach is proposed. The state estimation is obtained by using a LED photoelectrothermal dynamic model whose parameters are tuned through a procedure here presented. By exploiting the dynamic separation within the thermal state variables of the model, the junction temperature is predicted by using LED current and heat sink temperature measurements. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified through simulations and experiments on different heat sinks and samples of the same LED family, thus confirming the achievement of the luminous flux tracking under current and temperature constraints typically featuring LED applications.

Abstract
Piecewise linear (PWL) systems can exhibit quite complex behaviours. In this paper, the com- plementarity framework is used for computing peri- odic steady-state trajectories belonging to linear time- invariant systems with PWL, possibly set-valued, feed- back relations. The computation of the periodic solu- tions is formulated in terms of a mixed quadratic com- plementarity problem. Suitable anchor equations are used as problem constraints in order to determine the unknown period and to fix the phase of the steady- state oscillation. The accuracy of the complementarity problem solution is shown through numerical investi- gations of stable and unstable oscillations exhibited by practical PWL systems: a neural oscillator, a deadzone feedback system, a stick–slip system, a repressilator and a relay feedback system.

In this paper cone-copositive piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions (PWQ-LFs) for the stability analysis of conewise linear systems are proposed. The existence of a PWQ-LF is formulated as the feasibility of a cone-copositive programming problem which is represented in terms of linear matrix inequalities. A constructive procedure for its solution is provided. Examples show the effectiveness of the approach, also in the case of uncertain conewise linear systems.

Abstract
At a certain level of abstraction power converters can be represented as linear circuits connected to diodes and controlled electronic switches. The evolutions of the electrical variables are determined by the state-dependent switchings, which complicate the mathematical modeling of controlled power converters. Differently from the complementarity models previ- ously presented in the literature, the model proposed in this paper allows to represent as a linear complementarity system also closed-loop power converters, without requiring the a priori knowledge of the converter modes. A model construction procedure, not dependent on the specific converter topology, is presented. The discretization of the continuous-time model allows to formulate mixed linear complementarity problems for the computation of the control-to-output frequency response and the evolutions of both transient and steady-state currents and voltages. As illustrative examples Z-source, boost and buck DC-DC power converters under voltage-mode control and current-mode control operating both in continuous and discontinuous conduction modes are considered.

Abstract
This paper studies the interaction between the notions of passivity of systems theory and complementarity of mathematical programming in the context of complementarity systems. These systems consist of a dynamical system (given in the form of state space representation) and complementarity relations. We study existence, uniqueness, and nature of solutions for this system class under a passivity assumption on the dynamical part. A complete characterization of the initial states and the inputs for which a solution exists is given. These initial states are called consistent states. For the inconsistent states, we introduce a solution concept in the framework of distributions.

Abstract
Switched differential-algebraic equations (switched DAEs) Eσ(t)x ̇(t) = Aσ(t)x(t) are suitable for modeling many practical systems, e.g. electrical circuits. When the switching is periodic and of high frequency, the question arises whether the solutions of switched DAEs can be approximated by an average non-switching system. It is well known that for a quite general class of switched ordinary differential equations (ODEs) this is the case. For switched DAEs, due the presence of the so-called consistency projectors, it is possible that the limit of trajectories for faster and faster switching does not exist. Under certain assumptions on the consistency projectors a result concerning the averaging for switched DAEs is presented.

Abstract
Magnetostrictive actuators are employed for several purposes but, often, the control strategy is strongly affected by their hysteretic behavior. Such issue becomes crucial if dynamic mechanical stress conditions apply. Indeed, the stress must be considered as an additional input. Nevertheless, a compensation scheme with two-input variables can be defined and fruitfully utilized in a suitable invertibility region. In this paper, different control strategies, based on a compensation algorithm able to take into account the applied mechanical stress, are proposed and compared with simpler linear controllers in a real-time setup. Experimental data measured over a magnetostrictive actuator are presented and commented.

Abstract
Dry clutches are widely used in conventional and innovative automotive drivelines and represent a key element for automated manual transmissions (AMTs). In practical applications, it is fundamental to model the clutch behavior through its torque transmissibility characteristic, i.e., the relationship between the throwout bearing position (or the pressure applied by the clutch actuator) and the torque transmitted through the clutch during the engagement phase. In this paper, a new model for the torque transmissibility of dry clutches is proposed. It is analyzed how the transmissibility characteristic depends on: friction pads geometry, cushion spring compression, cushion spring load, and slip-speed-dependent friction. Corresponding functions are suitably composed determining the torque transmissibility expression. An experimental procedure for tuning the characteristic parameters is presented. The clutch-torque transmissibility model is tested on a detailed cosimulation model with a typical AMT controller.

Abstract
Computation of periodic steady state in nonlinear circuits is a key issue. Power electronics converters represent an interesting class of switched nonlinear circuits. The behavior of the converter is obtained by the commutations of the electronic devices which determine the switchings among the different converter modes. Switchings can be classified as external, if forced by directly manipulable control variables, and internal if determined by state dependent conditions. The presence of internal switchings makes it difficult to know a priori the sequence of modes and also open loop steady-state behaviors are difficult to be obtained. In this paper the complementarity modeling framework is proposed as a possible approach for computing periodic steady-state oscillations in power converters with internal switchings. It is shown how linear complementarity systems can be used to model the behavior of a wide class of power converters. The discretization of such model allows to formulate a static complementarity problem whose solution provides the steady-state oscillation of the converter. It is proved that the backward zero-order-hold technique preserves passivity through the discretization and allows to determine the unique solution of the complementarity problem. A resonant converter and a dc/dc voltage-mode controlled buck converter are used as examples.

Abstract
This paper studies linear passive electrical networks with ideal switches. We employ the so-called linear switched systems framework in which these circuits can be analyzed for any given switch configuration. After providing a complete characterization of admissible inputs and consistent initial states with respect to a switch configuration, the paper introduces a new state reini- tialization rule that is based on energy minimization at the time of switching. This new rule is proven to be equivalent to the classical methods of Laplace transform and charge/flux conservation principle. Also we illustrate the new rule on typical examples that have been treated in the literature.

Abstract
The switching behavior of power converters with ldquoidealrdquo electronic devices (EDs) makes it difficult to define a switched model that describes the dynamics of the converter in all possible operating conditions, i.e., a ldquocompleterdquo model. Indeed, simplifying assumptions on the sequences of modes are usually adopted, also in order to obtain averaged models and discrete-time maps. In this paper, we show how the complementarity framework can be used to represent complete switched models of a wide class of power converters, with EDs having characteristics represented by piecewise-affine (even complicated) relations. The model equations can be written in an easy and compact way without the enumeration of all converter modes, eventually formalizing the procedure to an algorithm. The complementarity model can be used to perform transient simulations and time-domain analysis. Mathematical tools coming from nonlinear programming allow to simulate numerically the transient behavior of even complex power converters. Also rigorous time-domain analysis is possible without excluding pathological situations like, for instance, inconsistent initial conditions and simultaneous switchings. Basic converter topologies are used as examples to show the construction procedure for the complementarity models and their usefulness for simulating the dynamic evolution also for nontrivial operating conditions.

Abstract
High-frequency dither signals are commonly used to implement modulation schemes in power electronics converters. These systems represent an interesting class of hybrid systems with external excitation. They have a rich dynamical behavior, which cannot be easily understood intuitively. Despite the common use of averaging techniques in power electronics, it was only recently proved that a dithered hybrid system can be approximated by an averaged system under certain conditions on the dither signal. Averaging and averaged models for various types of power converters are analyzed in the paper. It is shown that the averaged nonlinearity depends on the dither shape and that dither signals with Lipschitz-continuous averaged nonlinearities can be used to adapt the equivalent gain of power converters. Practical stability of the original dithered system can be inferred by analyzing a simpler averaged system. The main contribution of the paper is to show that the averaged and the dithered systems may have drastically different behavior if the assumptions of the recently developed averaging theory for dithered hybrid systems are violated. Several practical experiments and simulation examples of power electronics converters are discussed. They indicate that the conditions on the dither signal imposed by the averaging theory are rather tight.

Abstract
Dithering is proposed as a technique for the regulation of the boundary layer for switched systems under sliding-mode control. It is proved that dithering maintains the state of the system close to the ideal sliding manifold and that state error and practical stability depend on the dither amplitude, period, and shape, all by preserving the natural switching mode of the system. Experiments on a dc/dc buck power converter confirm the theoretical results.

Abstract
It was shown by Zames and Shneydor and later by Mossaheb that a high-frequency dither signal of a quite arbitrary shape can be used to narrow the effective nonlinear sector of Lipschitz continuous feedback systems. In this paper, it is shown that also discontinuous nonlinearities of feedback systems can be narrowed using dither, as long as the amplitude distribution function of the dither is absolutely continuous and has bounded derivative. The averaged system is proven to approximate the dithered system with an error of the order of dither period.

Abstract
A gearshift control strategy for modern automated manual transmissions (AMTs) with dry clutches is proposed. The controller is designed through a hierarchical approach by discriminating among five different AMT operating phases: engaged, slipping-opening, synchronization, go-to-slipping, and slipping- closing. The control schemes consist of decoupled and cascaded feedback loops based on measurements of engine speed, clutch speed, and throwout bearing position, and on estimation of the transmitted torque. Models of driveline, dry clutch, and controlled actuator are estimated on experimental data of a medium size gasoline car and used to check through simulations the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Abstract
Dither signals provide an effective way to compensate for nonlinearities in control systems. The seminal works by Zames and Shneydor, and more recently, by Mossaheb, present rigorous tools for systematic design of dithered systems. Their results rely, however, on a Lipschitz assumption relating to nonlinearity, and thus, do not cover important applications with discontinuities. This paper presents initial results on how to analyze and design dither in nonsmooth systems. In particular, it is shown that a dithered relay feedback system can be approximated by a smoothed system. Guidelines are given for tuning the amplitude and the period time of the dither signal, in order to stabilize the nonsmooth system.

This paper is concerned with the analysis and classification of non-standard bifurcations in piecewise smooth feedback systems. Bifurcations involving fixed points in maps; non-smooth bifurcations of equilibria, grazing bifurcations and sliding bifurcations of limit cycles in flows. The aim is to describe existing and novel results to form the basis of a consistent theory of bifurcations in such systems. In so doing, a novel approach to classify non-smooth bifurcations of equilibria in flows is presented. Experimental results on pulse-width modulated voltage-mode controlled DC/DC power converters motivates the relevance to applications of the analysis proposed.

Abstract
We present a novel approach for solving path-planning problems using a state-of-the-art data-driven deep learning technique. Although machine learning has been previously utilized for path planning, it has proven to be challenging due to the discrete nature of search algorithms. In this study, we propose a deep learning-based algorithm for path planning, which incorporates a Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network (CRNN) to create an end-to-end trainable neural network planner. This planner is then combined with the A* algorithm through an adaptive autonomy concept to autonomously select the best path planning strategy for increasing time efficiency and completeness. To train the CRNN, a labeled data set is generated autonomously from various maps by changing the starting and endpoints. The trained CRNN can find the shortest path from the starting point to the goal point by evaluating map images in one go. Additionally, the CRNN can predict way-points on image inputs. Our simulation results demonstrate that our proposed strategy is capable of finding the shortest path much faster than the A* algorithm in sparse environments, achieving a speed-up of up to 831 in some cases, which is exceptional.

Abstract
Single and dual dry clutches are widely used in automated manual transmissions because of their reliability and efficiency, low fuel consumption, reduction of pollutant emissions. These goals are achieved by adopting a “good” clutch model and by designing a robust control strategy. For this purpose, the clutch torque estimation is a key issue as it can be used to implement a feedback action in order to compensate for the temperature effects and model uncertainties. In this paper a transmissibility model of a dry clutch which includes the thermal effects is proposed and used for the design of a corresponding closed-loop control strategy. The control action consists of two contributions, one based on the inversion of the torque characteristic and another derived from an estimate of the clutch torque through an observer. A start-up engagement maneuver in a medium size passenger car is considered to validate the controller and its effectiveness is confirmed by numerical results.

Abstract
In this paper we propose CrazyS, an extension of the ROS (Robot Operating System) package RotorS, aimed to modeling, developing and integrating the Crazyflie 2.0 nano-quadcopter in the physics based simulation environment Gazebo. Such simulation platform allows to understand quickly the behavior of the flight control system by comparing and evaluat- ing different indoor and outdoor scenarios, with a details level quite close to reality. The proposed extension expands RotorS capabilities by considering the Crazyflie 2.0 physical model and its flight control system, as well. A simple case study has been considered in order to show how the package works. The use of open-source software makes the platform available for scientific and educational activities.

Abstract
The main task of the electrical power system (EPS) of a low earth orbit (LEO) satellite consists of providing the required power to the payloads by regulating, controlling and distributing the power generated by the solar array and the battery. The choice of an efficient EPS configuration and the design of an effective power management strategy are crucial elements for the success of the mission and the satellite lifetime. In this paper a dynamic model for a peak power tracker EPS architecture with an unregulated bus for small satellites is proposed. The model is used to verify the solar array and the battery sizing under different operating conditions. A power management strategy based on a finite-state supervisor is proposed and its effectiveness is verified through the EPS model by considering different irradiance and temperature profiles.

Abstract
The term differential-algebraic inclusions (DAIs) not only describes the dynamical relations using set-valued mappings, but also includes the static algebraic inclusions, and this paper considers the problem of existence of solutions for a class of such dynamical systems described by the inclusion $\dfrac\mathrmd\mathrmdt P x ∈-\mathcalm(x) for a symmetric positive semi-definite matrix P ∈\mathbbR^n \times n, and a maximal monotone operator \mathcalM : \mathbbR^n \mapto \mathbbR^n. The existence of solutions is proved using the tools from the theory of maximal monotone operators. The class of solutions that we study in the paper have the property that, instead of the whole state, only Px$ is absolutely continuous and unique. This framework, in particular, is useful for studying passive differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) coupled with maximal monotone relations. Certain class of irregular DAEs are also covered within the proposed general framework. Applications from electrical circuits are included to provide a practical motivation.

Abstract
In this paper we consider a distributed solution of the model predictive control problem (DMPC), based on the block version of the Jacobi algorithm applied to the dual problem. In order to accelerate the convergence, a Nesterov’s schema can be considered, but the updating rule coming out in such way is fully distributed and parallel, but synchronous. This assumption is often unrealistic in real-life large-scale systems. For this reason an asynchronous version of the method has been proposed and the convergence properties have been studied. Numerical experiments show the effectiveness of the approach by comparing it with the methods presented in the literature.

Abstract
The main motivation of this work is to show, for educational purposes, that the visual based object tracking problem can be illustrated through the simulation-in-the-loop approach:by using the MathWorks VirtualRealityToolbox together with Matlab, it is possible to simulate the behavior of a drone in a 3D environment when detection and control algorithms are run. Matlab VR is used due to the familiarity that students have with. In this way the attention can be moved to the classifier, the references generator and the trajectory tracking control. Each block is decoupled and independent, so it can be easily replaced with others thus simplifying the development phase. The virtual environment allows to test quickly the flight control system, comparing and evaluating different plans, both for indoor and outdoor scenarios. The system acquires frames from the virtual world, searches for one or more target on which it has been trained using machine learning techniques, and it extracts information about the pose in order to apply a trajectory control. A simple case study has been presented in order to show the effectiveness of the approach.

Abstract
Optimal operation of energy grids integrated with renewable energy sources (RES) and energy storage systems (ESS) is challenging due to intermittencies in generation and dynamics of the storage. This investigation presents a multi-period alternate current optimal power flow (ACOPF) algorithm for reducing the grid operating cost. The proposed approach uses a receding horizon strategy that solves a non-linear optimization problem during each period by using forecasts and storage dynamics. As a result, the proposed algorithm can optimize the grid operations considering the intermittent renewable generation and storage dynamics. The multi-period ACOPF is illustrated on a Norwegian distribution network with 85 buses and our results illustrate the suitability of the multi-period approach to optimize the grid operations with RES and ESS.

Abstract
In this paper cone-copositive piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions (PWQ-LFs) for the stability analysis of conewise linear systems with the possible presence of sliding modes are proposed. The existence of a PWQ-LF is formulated as the feasibility of a cone-copositive programming problem which is represented in terms of linear matrix inequalities with equality constraints. An algorithm for the construction of a PWQ-LF is provided. Examples show the effectiveness of the approach in the presence of stable and unstable sliding modes.

Abstract
A distributed solution for the minimum cost network flow problem is here proposed. The method uses a block version of the Gauss-Seidel algorithm in order to iteratively solve the dual problem whose structure is such that the Hessian matrix coincides with the Laplacian matrix of the corresponding graph. Thus, the updating rule turns out to be fully distributed. In order to increase the parallelism degree, a graph coloring scheme allows the clustering of nodes that reduces the sequentiality of the Gauss-Seidel technique. Numerical experiments show the effectiveness of the approach compared with methods recently presented in the literature.

Abstract
In this paper, the theory of robust min-max control is extended to hierarchical and multi-player dynamic games for linear quadratic discrete time systems. The proposed game model consists of a leader and many followers, while the performance of all players is affected by disturbance. The followers play a Nash game with each other and each of them also plays a zero-sum game with the disturbance. In the higher level of the game, the leader plays a Stackelberg game with the followers and at the same time, plays a zero-sum game with disturbance. The Stackelberg-Nash-saddle point equilibrium of the game is derived using dynamic programming approach and some conditions for existence and uniqueness of the solution are given. Finally an illustrative example is given in the simulation results.

Abstract
Accurate models for predicting generation, demand, prices, and storage under uncertainties are essential for managing safe, sustainable and reliable electric grids. In this investigation, the use of data-mining methods for building models of electrical consumption and renewable generation aimed at integrating renewable generation for smart grid control is studied. The results presented are part of the I3RES project that aims at building future energy solutions for smart electric grids considering the typical uncertainties of the renewable generation. Our results indicate that the data-mining techniques are able to provide forecasts with reasonable accuracy in the presence of uncertainties. Furthermore, such forecasts are useful in building controllers that can perform control actions such as demand side management in smart grids.

Abstract
The integration of renewable energy sources into modern electrical grids contributes to satisfying the continuously increasing energy demand. This can be done in a sustainable way since renewable sources are both inexhaustible and non-polluting. Different renewable energy devices, such as wind power, hydro power, and photovoltaic generators are available nowadays. The main issue with the integration of such devices is their irregular generation capacity (in particular for wind and solar energy). Therefore energy storage units are used to mitigate the fluctuations during generation and supply. In this paper we formulate a model for the Alternate Current Optimal Power Flow (ACOPF) problem consisting of simple dynamics for energy storage systems cast as a finite-horizon optimal control problem. The effect of energy storage is examined by solving a Norwegian demo network. The simulation results illustrate that the addition of energy storage, along with demand based cost functions, significantly reduces the generation costs and flattens the generation profiles.

Abstract
The increased efficiency and quality constraints imposed on the electrical energy have determined a renewed research interest in the study of formal approaches for the analysis and control of power electronics systems. These systems can be viewed as networks composed by semiconductor switches (e.g. thyristors, BJTs, MOSFETs, diodes), along with electrical passive elements (e.g. inductors, capacitors, resistors) and current/voltage sources. The peculiarities of the corresponding operating conditions justify, within the control research community, the specific classification of switched electronic systems. Indeed, idealized switched models of power converters introduce problems not commonly encountered when analyzing generic switched models or non-switched electrical networks. For instance, the presence of diodes in power converters can lead to state dependent commutations of the switched model which are not directly controllable. In that sense the analysis of switched electronic systems can represent a source for new ideas and benchmarks also for the more general class of switched and hybrid systems. The main goal of the tutorial session is to propose, through practical examples and applications, contributions on recent advances regarding modeling and control techniques for switched electronic systems in the specific areas of Averaging, Model Predictive Control and Complementarity Systems.

Abstract
Autonomous piecewise linear systems in the Lur’e form may exhibit periodic steady-state oscillations. For many practical systems belonging to this class the period and the shape of the oscillation is difficult to be predicted a priori. In this paper the complementarity approach is used to tackle the issue. The complementarity formalism is used to represent the closed-loop system and a phase condition acting as an anchor equation for the periodic solution. By discretizing the dynamics a mixed complementarity problem is formulated. The corresponding solution provides an accurate prediction of the steady-state oscillation and its period. Numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed technique for the computation of stable and sliding periodic solutions. The analysis of the steady-state solution of a Colpitts oscillator is considered as an illustration.

Abstract
Currently there is a large interest in low cost unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) development aimed to civilian applications. This paper describes the development and the software-in-the-loop validation of a flight control system for a small fixed wing UAV. The proposed approach follows standard tecniques for modeling, linearizing and decoupling the highly nonlinear six degrees-of-freedom dynamics of the vehicle. As a novelty in the UAV field, the participation factors analysis is applied in order to validate the decomposition into longitudinal and lateral-directional dynamics. Thus a linear quadratic regulator is developed for controlling the airspeed and the altitude, while a cascaded proportional-integral-derivative control is adopted for the heading tracking of the lateral dynamics, so to obtain the full waypoint navigation. In this work the lack of ailerons can be considered a peculiar feature of the considered platform since it determines a greater difficulty in controlling the flight of the UAV with respect to other airframe platforms.

Abstract
Averaging is an effective technique which allows the analysis and control design of nonsmooth switched systems through the use of corresponding simpler smooth averaged systems. Approximation results and stability analysis have been presented in the literature for dynamic systems described by switched ordinary differential equations. In this paper the averaging technique is shown to be useful also for the analysis of switched systems whose modes are represented by means of differential algebraic equations (DAEs). An approximation result is derived for a simple but representative homogenous switched DAE with periodic switching signals and two modes. Simulations based on a simple electric circuit model illustrate the theoretical result.

Abstract
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are one of the most promising technology for the future of lighting. The flexibility required by the dimming regulation introduces different and sometimes conflicting objectives which make challenging the control design. In this paper, a photoelectrothermal model of LED integrated with the dynamics of the power converter is presented. The model is used to design a model predictive control which allows the regulation of current, temperatures and luminous flux by satisfying the typical constraints on the control variable and on thermal and electrical state variables. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is verified though simulations by using a LED model whose parameters are tuned from commercial datasheets.

Abstract
Piecewise linear systems can exhibit periodic steady state oscillations. An interesting case study is represented by limit cycles in Lur’e systems. In this paper mixed linear complementarity models are used to compute limit cycles in autonomous piecewise linear systems. It is shown how a complementarity representation of the feedback characteristic and the dynamics discretization allow to formulate a mixed linear complementarity problem whose solution provides an accurate prediction of the steady state oscillation. Numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed technique for the computation of stable, unstable and sliding limit cycles.

Abstract
An increasing interest of the control community is currently dedicated to reducing the computation time of implicit model predictive controllers, even by looking at algorithms able to get “good” suboptimal solutions and which could be more efficiently implemented in real time. To this aim the potentialities of the weighted barrier function approach has been widely demonstrated in the literature. In this work it is addressed the issue of increasing performances of the barrier method for constrained model predictive control (MPC) through an algorithm that concurrently looks at the outcomes corresponding to different weights of the barrier functions and chooses, at each optimization stage, the “best” optimizing solution. The proposed idea has interesting effects with respect to the performance of the control action, particularly in the situation in which system states and inputs signals are moving close to the constraints. Good results are obtained without increasing the computation time in a significative way thanks to the parallelization. The effectiveness of the approach has been successfully validated in simulations on two different case-studies taken from the recent literature on the application of implicit MPC: the Cessna Citation 500 aircraft and a rotating antenna.

Abstract
Switched models provide a suitable framework for many practical control systems. At a certain level of abstraction smooth models obtained by averaging switched models are able to capture most relevant properties of the system behavior. Stability and control design for a nonsmooth switched system can be inferred by analyzing the smooth averaged system. In this paper these advantages emerging from the use of averaging are demonstrated by proposing an overview of the existing applications of averaging for practical switched systems. Examples of power electronics converters, pneumatic actuators and synchronized oscillators are considered. The representation of the different applications by means of a common modeling framework allows to survey the theoretical results of practical interest and to point out some theoretical open issues on the averaging method for switched systems.

Abstract
In this paper a cone-copositive approach is proposed for investigating the stability of piecewise linear differential inclusions. From a different perspective the same issue can be viewed as the robust stability problem for uncertain piece-wise linear systems. By using piecewise quadratic Lyapunov function the stability problem is formulated as a set of linear matrix inequalities each constrained into a specific cone, i.e. a set of cone-copositive programming problems. A procedure for solving the set of constrained inequalities is presented. The absolute stability problem for Lur’e systems with unknown feedback characteristic belonging to an asymmetric domain, is shown to be tractable as a particular case. Two examples are provided to show that the proposed approach might lead to less conservative estimation of the robust stability region with respect to the classical Circle criterion and to other approaches based on piecewise quadratic Lyapunov function.

Abstract
Averaging of fast switching systems is an effective technique used in many engineering applications. Practical stability and control design for a nonsmooth switched system can be inferred by analyzing the smooth averaged system. In this paper we overview the few formal approaches proposed in the literature to deal with the averaging of nonsmooth systems. The dithering, the phasor dynamics and the hybrid framework techniques are recast and compared by considering pulse-modulated switched linear systems as the common modeling platform.

Abstract
Computation of limit cycles in autonomous piece wise linear feedback systems in Lur’e form is considered. It is shown how the complementarity representation of the feedback characteristic allows to represent the discretized closed loop system as a linear complementarity system. A static linear complementarity problem, whose solutions correspond to periodic solutions of the discrete-time system, is formulated. The proposed technique is able to compute steady state oscillations with known period for continuous-time systems, so as demonstrated by simulation results on the Chua electrical circuit and on other Lur’e systems which exhibit asymmetric unstable and sliding limit cycles.

Abstract
In the recent literature it has been shown how it is possible to represent electrical circuits with ideal diodes as Linear Complementarity Systems (LCSs) and, in the presence of externally controlled electronic devices, as switched LCSs. In this paper we show how it is possible to model within the non-switched linear complementarity framework also switched electronic systems which include externally controlled state-dependent switchings. The model discretization allows to formulate a static complementarity problem whose solution provides the closed-loop steady-state periodic oscillation exhibited by the modulated system. The proposed approach can be applied to a wide class of power converters; a DC-DC boost converter with voltage-mode control is considered as an illustrative example.

Abstract
We consider the stability problem of Lur’e systems composed by a dynamical linear time invariant system closed in feedback through a static mapping belonging to a region bounded by piecewise linear characteristics. By exploiting the complementarity framework a model of the region expressed through constrained relations is obtained. Classical conic sectors representations can be derived as a particular case of the proposed model. The region representation is exploited to prove absolute stability of the Lur’e system in terms of cone-constrained linear matrix inequalities.

Abstract
The stability problem of Lur’e systems composed by a dynamical linear time invariant system closed in feedback through a static piecewise linear mapping is considered. By exploiting complementarity representations of piecewise linear characteristics, generalized sector conditions expressed in terms of constrained relations are established. The proposed form is shown to be suitable for getting sector conditions of multi-input multi-output coupled characteristics as well as for representing classical conic sectors. Then, starting from the passivity assumption of the complementarity system representation, an operative result is obtained which allows to verify absolute stability of Lur’e systems with feedback constrained relations and possibly nonzero equilibrium. Some examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Abstract
A decentralized controller for the synchronization of two remote parallel voltage source inverters used to supply train auxiliaries is presented. A modular hybrid dynamic model of the entire power electronic apparatus is constructed; possible unbalanced line and load impedances are also considered. The power sharing between the converters is obtained by designing a droop controller based on local measurements of active and reactive powers. The controller is completed with a synchronous reference frame Phase Locked Loop which detects the local line voltage phase. The inverters synchronization allows a good power sharing in steady state and avoids the typical current overshoots due to the activation of one converter when the other is already operating. The controller effectiveness is tested in a realistic simulation scenario.

Abstract
Definition and properties of participation factors for linear time-invariant systems are reviewed and extended. It is shown that participation factors can be interpreted as the sensitivity of a given eigenvalue with respect to a corresponding entry of the system dynamic matrix and that the entries of the system matrix are a linear combination of participation factors and eigenvalues. A comparison among participation factors, residues and relative gain array is reported, showing that participation factors can be interpreted as the relative gains between states and modes.

Dither signals are commonly used for compensating nonlinearities in feedback systems in electronics and mechanics. The seminal works by Zames and Shneydor and more recently by Mossaheb present rigorous tools for systematic design of dithered systems. Their results rely however on a Lipschitz assumption on the nonlinearity and thus do not cover important applications with discontinuities.
The aim of this thesis is to provide some ideas and tools on how to analyse and design dither in nonsmooth systems. In particular, it is shown that a dithered relay feedback system can be approximated by a smoothed system. Guidelines are given for tuning the amplitude and the period time of the dither signal, in order to stabilize the nonsmooth system. Stability results based on Popov-like and Zames-Falb criteria jointly with some Linear Matrix Inequalities are proposed.
Moreover it is argued that in dithered relay feedback systems the shape of dither signals is relevant for stabilization. Some peculiar behaviours of relay feedback sys- tems dithered with a particular class of dither signals are presented. When the dither signal is a square wave, the dithered system can exhibit an asymmetric periodic orbit, though the smoothed system is asymptotically stable. We even show an example in which, by using a trapezoidal dither signal, both systems have a stable oscillation, but the period time for the oscillation of the smoothed system is different from the one of the dithered system.
Finally some engineering applications are presented in order to show the usefulness of techniques and results discussed in the thesis.
