Nonlinear Optimal Control and Differential Flatness for Renewable Energy Systems and EVs in the Smart Grid covers nonlinear control and estimation for electric power systems, electric vehicles, and the smart grid. The control and estimation methods presented are characterized by global stability and convergence proofs, which means that the function of renewable electric power systems and electric vehicles presented will be of assured performance and it can be ascertained that it will remain reliable under variable operating conditions.

In particular, this new monograph deals with the open research issues and challenges of nonlinear control based on approximate linearization and on global linearization of the associated state-space models. It also successfully addresses the quest for specialized knowledge in renewable electric power systems and in electric vehicles traction systems, bringing new findings in two areas: Firstly, nonlinear control for electric machines (synchronous and asynchronous) with application in the exploitation of renewable energy sources and in the traction system of electric vehicles, and secondly, nonlinear control of power electronics which are used for the connection of renewable energy sources to the electricity grid and for the powertrains of electric vehicles (control of AC to DC converters, control of inverters).

This book is of interest to researchers, graduate students, faculty, engineers, and other technical personnel working on control problems and estimation methods, renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, and smart grid technologies.

Intelligent Control for Electric Power Systems and Electric VehiclesProposes new control methods that treat the control problem of the complex nonlinear dynamics of electric power systems and electric vehicles without the need for complicated state-space model transformations and changes of state variables. The proposed control schemes also foster the optimized exploitation of renewable energy sources and the reliable integration of renewable energy units in the power grid. It focuses on intelligent control techniques applicable to a wide range of electric motor systems and energy conversion units.The manuscript is suitable for teaching nonlinear control, estimation and fault diagnosis topics with emphasis to electric power systems and to electric vehicle traction and propulsion systems both at late undergraduate and postgraduate levels.Fault Diagnosis for Electric Power Systems and Electric VehiclesOffers a detailed and in-depth analysis of the topic of fault diagnosis for electric power systems and electric vehicles. It develops new fault detection and isolation methods which are addressed to a wide class of nonlinear dynamic systems, with emphasis on electric power systems and electric vehicles. Model-free fault detection and isolation methods are analyzed, processing raw data with neural networks and nonlinear regressors to create fault-free models, while statistical tests on the residuals provide objective criteria for failures; these new methods, incorporating statistical procedures for defining fault thresholds, enable early diagnosis and reveal incipient changes in monitored system parameters.Key Features: Offers timely and state-of-the-art insight on nonlinear control, nonlinear estimation and fault diagnosis for electric power systems and for electric traction and propulsion systems.Analyzes new methods of nonlinear control and offers valuable resources for researchers tackling control problems in these domains.

Robotic and mechatronic systems, autonomous vehicles, electric power systems and smart grids, as well as manufacturing and industrial production systems can exhibit complex nonlinear dynamics or spatio-temporal dynamics which need to be controlled to ensure good functioning and performance.In this comprehensive reference, the authors present new and innovative control and estimation methods and techniques based on dynamical nonlinear and partial differential equation systems. Such results can be classified in five main domains for the control of complex nonlinear dynamical systems using respectively methods of approximate (local) linearization, methods of exact (global) linearization, Lyapunov stability approaches, control and estimation of distributed parameter systems and stochastic estimation and fault diagnosis methods.Control and Estimation of Dynamical Nonlinear and Partial Differential Equation Systems: Theory and applications will be of interest to electrical engineering, physics, computer science, robotics and mechatronics researchers and professionals working on control problems, condition monitoring, estimation and fault diagnosis and isolation problems. It will also be useful to skilled technical personnel working on applications in robotics, energy conversion, transportation and manufacturing.

Robotics, mechatronics and autonomous systems can exhibit complex nonlinear dynamics which can lead to unsatisfactory transients and deviation from setpoints or even to instability. A standard approach in the control of these systems had been the concept of diffeomorphisms to bring a system into a linear form. However, these methods are not straightforward and result in complicated state-space model transformations. In this monograph, new methods have been investigated which are not constrained by the shortcomings of global linearization-based control schemes. They can be implemented in a computationally simple manner, are followed by global stability proofs, and perform better than previous optimal control approaches for a wider class of nonlinear dynamical systems and applications.In this monograph, the authors present two main proven control methods: the nonlinear optimal (H-infinity) control method, and the flatness-based control approach. These methods have shown to be better suited than previous standard approaches in solving control issues, and can be used in a wide class of dynamical systems. They can have a broad range of applications in mechatronics, industrial robotics, space robotics, robotic cranes and pendulums, autonomous vehicles, aerospace systems and satellites, power electronics, biosystems and financial systems.This very comprehensive monograph is a valuable resource for academic researchers and engineers working on control systems and estimation methods, and university staff and graduate students in the fields of control and automation, robotics and mechatronics, electrical engineering, electric power systems and power electronics, biosystems, computer science, financial systems, and physics. The monograph is also a very useful reference for skilled technical professionals developing real world applications.
