Providing a Periodic Control Solution for Balance Control While Standing Using a Pendulum-Based Approach

Abstract

The stability of standing in humans is a complex process that leads to maintaining the upright position against external disturbances. Balance control during standing is of vital importance for humans in daily life. An issue that is still not clearly understood is which control mechanism the central nervous system uses to maintain stability. In the rehabilitation of standing function, the coordination pattern between the angles of the leg joint of a healthy person should be restored. For example, one of the rehabilitation methods is functional electrical stimulation. In the work that was mainly done in the control of standing balance with functional electrical stimulation, the problem of the optimal pattern using the phase space was not mentioned at all, and a series of predetermined desired curves were assigned to the joints, and the controller only used these curves. followed, while the origin of these curves are not real patterns. Therefore, the main goal of this project is to design a periodic controller based on phase space. In such a way that a mapping related to standing is detected first, then a feedback controller is designed so that it is activated only when the system state space curves find a significant distance from the detected mapping, then the feedback controller is activated, and it adjusts the control signal so that the system state space curves come close to the detected mapping.

Observability and parameter estimation of a generic model for aggregated distributed energy resources

We propose a novel framework for estimating the parameters of an aggregated distributed energy resources (DER A) model. First, we introduce a rigorous method to determine whether all model parameters are estimable. When they are not, our approach identifies the subset of parameters that can be estimated. The proposed framework offers new insights into the number and specific parameters that can be reliably estimated based on commonly available measurements. It also highlights the limitations of calibrating such models. Second, we introduce a Kalman filtering method to calibrate the DER A model. Since we account for nonlinear effects such as saturation and deadbands, we develop a specific mechanism to handle smoothing functions within the Kalman filter. Specifically, we consider the extended and the unscented Kalman filter. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework on a modified IEEE 34-node distribution feeder with inverter- based resources. Our findings align with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation's parameterization guideline and underscore the importance of model calibration in accurately capturing the collective dynamics of distributed energy resources installed on distribution systems.

Salted Fisher Information for Hybrid Systems

Discrete events change how parameter-influence propagates in hybrid systems. Prevailing Fisher information for- mulations assume that sensitivities evolve smoothly according to continuous-time variational equations and therefore neglect the sensitivity updates induced by discrete events. This paper derives a Fisher information matrix formulation compatible with hybrid systems. To do so, we use the saltation matrix, which encodes the first-order transformation of sensitivities induced by discrete events. We call the resulting formulation the salted Fisher information matrix (SFIM). The proposed framework unifies continuous information accumulation during flows with discrete updates at event times. We also show that hybrid persistence of excitation is sufficient for the SFIM to be positive definite

Min-Max Grassmannian Optimization for Online Subspace Tracking

We propose GeRoST (Geometrically Robust Subspace Tracking), an online subspace tracking algorithm that models uncertainty in a subspace using a Grassmannian ball. We derive an exact scalar dual for the worst-case subspace problem, establish conditions for a unique worst-case subspace and a Riemannian gradient, and characterize the minimum radius needed to cover a dimensional extension of the target subspace. Each update uses either a spectral direction computed in a reduced subspace or the gradient of the window reconstruction loss. Our numerical experiments show that GeRoST achieves lower mean post-fault prediction error than GREAT in system identification. In video separation, it achieves higher precision and a better precision--recall balance, as measured by the F$_1$ score, than both GREAT and GRASTA at the reported thresholds, with lower recall and longer runtime.
