Abstract

The fault characteristics of inverter-based resources (IBRs) are different from conventional synchronous generators. The fault response of IBRs is non-linear due to saturation states and mainly determined by fault ride through (FRT) strategies of the associated voltage source converter (VSC). This results in prohibitively large solution times for power flows considering these short circuit characteristics, especially when the power system states change fast due to uncertainty in IBR generations. To overcome this, a phasor-domain steady state (SS) short circuit (SC) solver for IBR dominated power systems is proposed in this paper, and subsequently the developed IBR models are incorporated with a novel Jacobian-based Power Flow (PF) solver. In this multiphase PF solver, any power system components can be modeled by considering their original non-linear or linear mathematical representations. Moreover, two novel FRT strategies are proposed to fully utilize the converter capacity and to comply with IEEE-2800 2022 std and German grid code. The results are compared with the Electromagnetic Transient (EMT) simulation on the IEEE 34 test network and the 120 kV EPRI benchmark system. The developed IBR sequence domain PF model demonstrates more accurate behavior compared to the classical IBR generator model. The error in calculating the short circuit current with the proposed SC solver is less than 3%, while achieving significant speed improvements of three order of magnitudes.

Simultaneous state estimation and control for nonlinear systems subject to bounded disturbances

In this work, we address the output--feedback control problem for nonlinear systems under bounded disturbances using a moving horizon approach. The controller is posed as an optimisation-based problem that simultaneously estimates the state trajectory and computes future control inputs. It minimises a criterion that involves finite backward and forward horizons with respect to the unknown initial state, measurement noises and control input variables.The main novelty of this work relies on linking the lengths of the forward and backward windows with the closed-loop stability, assuming detectability and decoding sufficient conditions to assure system stabilizability. It leads to a formulation that does not require to be a Control Lyapunov Function for the terminal cost of the controller. Simulation examples are carried out to compare the performance of solving simultaneously and independently the estimation and control problems. Furthermore, the examples show how the controller influences the length of the estimation window through its gain.

On finite-horizon approximation of an infinite-horizon feedback Nash equilibrium in discrete-time LQ games

Computing feedback Nash equilibria (FNEs) in infinite-horizon discrete-time linear-quadratic (LQ) dynamic games remains computationally challenging. Inspired by model predictive control (MPC) in single-agent optimal control, we address this challenge with a finite-horizon strategy for approximating one such FNE. The finite-horizon strategy is as follows. Each player $i$ has an individual prediction horizon $T^i$. At each stage, player $i$ envisions an auxiliary $T^i$-stage game, computes its unique FNE, and implements only the first-stage control. Our main results are as follows. First, we give parameter conditions that guarantee geometric convergence of the coupled Riccati iteration to a stabilizing solution. Second, under these conditions, the finite-horizon strategies stabilize the system, and each player's total cost converges to the limiting FNE cost as all prediction horizons tend to infinity. Third, we derive an explicit upper bound on this cost gap that decreases geometrically with the shortest prediction horizon. This bound tells us how long the prediction horizons need to be for a given accuracy. The strategy is tractable and implementable, as it avoids directly solving the coupled algebraic Riccati equations of the infinite-horizon game.

Closed Loop Reference Optimization for Extrusion Additive Manufacturing

Various defects occur during material extrusion additive manufacturing processes that degrade the quality of the 3D printed parts and lead to significant material waste. This motivates feedback control of the extrusion process to mitigate defects and prevent print failure. We propose a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) for closed-loop control with force feedback to provide accurate width tracking of the extruded filament. Furthermore, we propose preemptive optimization of the reference force given to the LQR that accounts for the performance of the LQR and generates the optimal reference for the closed loop extrusion dynamics and machine constraints. Simulation results demonstrate the improved tracking performance and response time. Experiments on a Fused Filament Fabrication 3D printer showcase a root mean square error improvement of 39.57% compared to tracking the unmodified reference as well as an 83.7% shorter settling time.
