The problem of robustness improvement, vis à vis external disturbances, of energy shaping
controllers for mechanical systems is addressed in this paper. First, it is shown that, if the …

In this note, we address the problem of stabilization of port-Hamiltonian systems via the
ubiquitous proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. The design is based on passivity …

This paper deal with power quality issues in weak voltage isolated micro-grids, where the
power export is managed through an inverter connected via an LC filter to feed the local …

A fundamental problem in control systems theory is that stability is not always guaranteed for
a closed-loop system even if the plant is open-loop stable. With the only knowledge of the …

In this paper, we show how heterogeneous bidirectional vehicle strings can be modelled as
port-Hamiltonian systems. Analysis of stability and string stability within this framework is …

In this article, the distributed optimization problem is studied for second-order multiagent
systems with both mismatched and matched disturbances. For this problem, a distributed …

This paper presents a methodology to solve the problem of robustification of Interconnection
and Damping Assignment-Passivity Based Control (IDA-PBC) scheme for the case of under …

According to the actual production requirements in process control, this paper proposes an
optimized control strategy for the quadruple-tank liquid level system (QTLLS). Firstly, using …

Summary Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controllers still represent the core control
method for achieving output regulation of either linear or nonlinear systems in the majority of …

This work investigates the energy shaping control of a class of underactuated mechanical
systems with first‐order actuator dynamics and subject to both matched and unmatched …
