Abstract Model predictive control is widely used as a control technology for the computation
of optimal control inputs of building heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) …

This article deals with a class of resistive-inductive-capacitive (RLC) circuits and switched
RLC (s-RLC) circuits modeled in the Brayton-Moser framework. For this class of systems …

In this letter, we present passivity-based convergence analysis of continuous time primal-
dual gradient method for convex optimization problems. We first show that a convex …

High temperature that reaches to 50° C in summer, high humidity, and dust storms are
considered as the main characteristics of the climate of many countries around the world …

Energy consumption in commercial buildings is significantly affected by the performance of
heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, which are traditionally operated …

Synergetic control is proposed for heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) system
control. The synergetic controller is developed using the nonlinear model of the HVAC …

This note is devoted to the stabilization of a particular class of nonlinear cyclo-passive
systems, namely, gradient-like systems. In order to accomplish the control task, we explore …

Large scale multi-agent networked systems are becoming increasingly popular in industry
and academia as they can be applied to represent systems in diverse application areas …

In this paper we derive new passive maps akin to incremental passive maps, for a class of
nonlinear systems using dynamic feedback and Krasovskii's method. Further using the …

In this paper, we consider the problem of controlling power consumption dynamics of
residential heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) units so that they follow the grid …
