Abstract

With the fast-increasing penetration of inverter-based resources (IBRs), the voltage support capability of the grid following (GFL) IBRs under low voltage ride through (LVRT) control significantly influences the transient voltage stability of the power system. The existing LVRT adjusts the q-axis current to regulate reactive power injection. However, under a large disturbance, the phase-locked loop (PLL) error invalidates the proportional relationship between the q-axis current and reactive power, consequently causing deviation in the actual reactive power injection of the IBR. Besides, the variation of IBR current, determined by the PLL phase and LVRT, also directly influences the transient voltage. To address this issue, the specific influence of PLL error on active and reactive power injection is first analyzed under LVRT control. In addition, by combining the LVRT and PLL dynamics, the mechanisms of three voltage problems caused by voltage angle coupling are revealed. overvoltage, low voltage, and DC-side overvoltage. The specific scenarios in which these voltage stability problems occur are also obtained by the voltage-vector-triangle graphic. Furthermore, a power angle decoupled LVRT control is proposed to eliminate the influence of voltage angle coupling. Finally, the mechanism analysis and effectiveness of the decoupled LVRT are verified in the case study.

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.
