In modern dc shipboard microgrid (SMG) systems, the propulsion motors and hotel loads are
always supplied through tightly regulated point of load converters, which behave as constant …

Underactuated robotics is an emerging research direction in the field of robotics. The control
input of the underactuated robot is less than the degree of freedom of the system. It has the …

A comprehensive introduction to hybrid control systems and design Hybrid control systems
exhibit both discrete changes, or jumps, and continuous changes, or flow. An example of a …

In this chapter we present a state space interpretation of the small gain and passivity
approach of the previous chapter. Moreover, we will come to some kind of synthesis …

We consider the problem of grid-forming control of power converters in low-inertia power
systems. Starting from an average-switch three-phase power converter model, we draw …

Energy exchange is a major foundation of the dynamics of physical systems, and, hence, in
the study of complex multi-domain systems, methodologies that explicitly describe the …

An underactuated mechanical system (UMS) is a system which has fewer independent
control actuators than degrees of freedom to be controlled. Control of UMS is considered as …

The dynamics of many physical processes can be suitably described by Port-Hamiltonian
(PH) models, where the importance of the energy function, the interconnection pattern and …

Interconnection and dam** assignment passivity-based control is a new controller design
methodology developed for (asymptotic) stabilization of nonlinear systems that does not rely …

A non-linear control structure for a Photovoltaic (PV), battery and supercapacitor based
stand-alone DC-microgrid is presented in this paper. Most of the conventional PI-based …
