The recent trend to design more efficient and versatile ships has increased the variety in
hybrid propulsion and power supply architectures. In order to improve performance with …

With the increasing application of distributed energy resources and novel information
technologies in the electricity infrastructure, innovative possibilities to incorporate the …

The evolution of information and communication technologies has yielded the means of
sharing measurements and other information in an efficient and flexible way [1], which has …

We present a hierarchical control scheme for large-scale systems whose components can
exchange information through a data network. The main goal of the supervisory layer is to …

In this paper, a novel distributed Kalman filter (KF) algorithm along with a distributed model
predictive control (MPC) scheme for large-scale multi-rate systems is proposed. The …

Among the promising application of autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) is the utilization of
multiple autonomous tugs for manipulating a floating object such as an oil platform, a broken …

A conventional way to handle model predictive control (MPC) problems distributedly is to
solve them via dual decomposition and gradient ascent. However, at each time-step, it might …

Coalitional control is concerned with the management of multi-agent systems where
cooperation cannot be taken for granted (due to, eg, market competition, logistics). This …

Due to the significant environmental impact of power production from fossil fuels and nuclear
fission, future energy systems will increasingly rely on distributed and renewable energy …

In this article, we propose a dynamic Boolean network‐type mathematical representation of
networked critical infrastructures under stress. Our formulation is obtained as a threshold …
