Gustavo Rodrigues will present a seminar about his ongoing TCC (final undergraduate project), in which he implements a new brand of DD design developed by his supervisor, Profa Lucíola. Wednesday May 08 at 3 pm in our seminar room ("salão de eventos").
The delta operator is an alternative to the shift operator commonly used for representation of sampled-data systems. It has a number of well-known conceptual and numerical advantages and some very convenient implications of its use in identification are also well described. This MSc project consists of applying IFT in controllers described with the delta operator. [...]
In DD control design, once the reference model has been chosen the design follows a well specified algorithm, and thus is completely automated. The choice of reference model must express mathematically either one or some combination of the various control objectives (noise rejection, reference tracking performance, robustness, etc). In order to make a fully automated controller [...]
Many processes behave like a linear dynamic model with a nonlinear static map at its input (in which case the process is referred to as a Hammerstein system) or at its output (resp. a Wiener system). It is standard industrial practice to mitigate the effects of this nonlinear element by the incorporation of its approximate [...]
Data-Driven (DD) control has emerged as a discipline in the first half of the 1990's. DD control consists of methodologies that provide safe auto-tuning controllers and adaptive controllers, which have found a wide range of applications. Our book, published by Springer in 2011, presents an unifying theory for DD control design methods and an overall account of [...]
Fábio Medeiros de Carvalho, M.Sc., will demonstrate how to operate our UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) equipment, and how to collect and manipulate experimental data from it. Several projects have been developed in our group using this facility, and many more will be, so it is important that we get acquainted to it. The seminar will [...]
