The scope of this thesis encompasses two main subjects: fixed-structure data-driven control design on one side, and control design in power systems on the other. The overall goal is to identify challenging and relevant problems in power systems, to express ...
Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's and epilepsy requires monitoring a subject's development of symptoms through electroencephalography (EEG) signals over long periods. Wearable devices enable convenient monitoring of biosignals, unlike complex and costly hospi ...
The optimal power-flow problem (OPF) has always played a key role in the planning and operation of power systems. Due to the non-linear nature of the AC power-flow equations, the OPF problem is known to be non-convex, therefore hard to solve. During the la ...
An increasing number of phasor measurement units (PMUs) are being deployed in power systems in order to enhance the situational awareness and, in the near future, we expect that many networks will be extensively equipped with PMUs. These devices provide ac ...
The optimal power flow (OPF) problem, a fundamental problem in power systems, is generally nonconvex and computationally challenging for networks with an increasing number of smart devices and real-time control requirements. In this paper, we first investi ...
The energy transition is well underway in most European countries. It has a growing impact on electric power systems as it dramatically modifies the way electricity is produced. To ensure a safe and smooth transition towards a panEuropean electricity produ ...
Nowadays electrical energy generation is an important topic discussed in the society. Since technologies like wind or solar energy generation are most of the time placed far away from the city centres one point to focus on is the transmission of the energy ...
Nowadays electric power systems are subject to continuous changes and the needs in the power generation and delivery service are constantly increasing, with a higher complexity of a progressively more distributed network. Because the impact of a failure ca ...
Grid-tied inverters are the main responsible for the successful integration of photovoltaic (PV) plants in the power grid. Two important challenges are the integration of power plants based-inverters and their contribution to the power system quality. This ...
The development of modern and future power systems is associated with the definition of new approaches for their simulation, control, and protection. To give an example, the increasing connection of massive renewable energy conversion systems is justifying ...
