Pages: 13 - 14 Abstract: We propose that the logarithms of closed-loop poles be drawn instead of the plain poles in root loci for continuous-time linear loops, to help visualize significant closed-loop frequency responses simultaneously at specific values of the changing open-loop parameters. We also promote the splitting of the loci into pairs of graphs showing the imaginary and real parts of the logarithms of the poles as separate functions of the changing parameters, since this allows one to foresee the effects of parameter changes on the frequency responses and, therefore, to build computational environments in which the user may steer the design of feedback control systems [From the article, “Logarithmic Root Loci for Continuous-Time Loops,” by Jaime Glaría, Ricardo Rojas, and Mario Salgado in IEEE Control Systems Magazine, vol. 14, no. 2, pp. 47–52, 1994.

Pages: 34 - 65 Abstract: This article presents an end-to-end differential algebraic model of a power system in its entirety, including synchronous generators, wind farms, solar farms, energy storage, power electronics converters, and controllers for each device. Distributed energy resources (DERs) and power electronics devices are shown to affect small signal stability and the dynamic performance of the grid. The article then presents a two-layer control architecture for future grids, where one layer consists of decentralized plug-and-play controllers for power electronics converter control of DERs, and another layer is composed of system-wide distributed controllers actuated through the generators.

Pages: 66 - 83 Abstract: Distributed control and location estimation of multiagent systems have received tremendous research attention in recent years because of their potential across many application domains [1], [2]. The term agent can represent a sensor, autonomous vehicle, or any general dynamical system. Multiagent systems are attractive because of their robustness against system failure, ability to adapt to dynamic and uncertain environments, and economic advantages compared to the implementation of more expensive monolithic systems.

Pages: 84 - 100 Abstract: Engineering systems are complex systems comprising interconnections of simpler subsystems. Examples of this in electrical engineering are ac and dc circuits, motor drives, power systems, and electronic circuits. Similar examples occur in mechanical engineering, robotics, hydraulic networks, truss structures, and chemical reactors. In control engineering, complex feedback systems are created from interconnections of elementary blocks. In this article, we present a unified approach and framework applicable to the analysis of all such systems. The main unifying criterion is that the systems are described by linear equations. We show that the input-output maps of both algebraic and dynamic systems can be obtained by a common set of formulas developed by systematically applying Cramer's rule for solving linear equations.

Pages: 101 - 103 Abstract: This book explores recent breakthroughs in the field of human–robot collaborative control and decision making. The 16 chapters in this book discuss key problems in the field from two different perspectives. The first is the system perspective, which discusses the control of 1) one-to-one human–robot systems, 2) one-to-many human–robot systems, and 3) many-to-many human–robot systems. The other is the methodology perspective, which covers the control of human–robot systems and the decision-making problem in human–robot interaction. The book provides a good summary of and timely reference to the most recent advances in the field of human–robot collaborative control and decision making. PubDate:

Pages: 108 - 108 Abstract: Norbert Wiener, the eminent mathematician who died last winter, formulated the provocative idea that it should be possible to develop a unified theory of feedback control applicable both to living organisms and to machines. To express this idea he coined the term “cybernetics.” Briefly discusses Wiener's ideas on this subject. PubDate:
