La notion de système dynamique hybride (SDH) désigne un système dynamique forme par le couplage et l'interaction de systèmes continus et discrets. La richesse de comportements, (actions continues ponctuées de décisions fonctions de l'avancement des taches entreprises), et de description attendus des SDH s'accompagne d'un coût : les outils, méthodes de conception et d'analyse développés pour les systèmes discrets et continus sont caduques ou nécessitent une sérieuse refondation afin d'être adaptes a ce nouveau contexte hybride. Cette thèse aborde le problème de la commande optimale des SDH. Une extension du principe du maximum (PM) de pontryaguine aux SDH par la prise en considération de discontinuités sur l'état ainsi que sur les modèles régissant l'évolution continue du système, est le résultat central de ce travail. L’application de ce principe sur des problèmes de commande optimale en temps montre comment il est possible de faire la synthèse d'une commande optimale voire sous optimale par l'étude d'un problème étendu obtenu en relaxant les contraintes sur le domaine de commande. L’équivalent hybride de la commande optimale par critère quadratique est également dérivé du PM. La résolution d'une suite d'équations différentielles de Riccati, conduit alors à une commande en boucle fermée. Des conditions suffisantes sur la stabilité de ces systèmes complètent ces résultats.

This book focuses on two challenges posed in robot control by the increasing adoption of robots in the everyday human environment: uncertainty and networked communication. Part I of the book describes learning control to address environmental uncertainty. Part II discusses state estimation, active sensing, and complex scenario perception to tackle sensing uncertainty. Part III completes the book with control of networked robots and multi-robot teams. Each chapter features in-depth technical coverage and case studies highlighting the applicability of the techniques, with real robots or in simulation. Platforms include mobile ground, aerial, and underwater robots, as well as humanoid robots and robot arms. Source code and experimental data are available at http://extras.springer.com. The text gathers contributions from academic and industry experts, and offers a valuable resource for researchers or graduate students in robot control and perception. It also benefits researchers in related areas, such as computer vision, nonlinear and learning control, and multi-agent systems.

Urban DC Microgrid: Intelligent Control and Power Flow Optimization focuses on microgrids for urban areas, particularly associated with building-integrated photovoltaic and renewable sources. This book describes the most important problems of DC microgrid application, with grid-connected and off-grid operating modes, aiming to supply DC building distribution networks. The book considers direct current (DC) microgrid to supply DC building distribution networks for positive energy buildings; dynamic interactions with the utility grid based on communication with the smart grid; supervisory control systems; and energy management. The global power system is exposed and the DC microgrid system is presented and analyzed with results and discussion, highlighting both the advantages and limitations of the concept. Coverage at the system level of microgrid control as well as the various technical aspects of the power system components make this a book interesting to academic researchers, industrial energy researchers, electrical power and power system professionals. - Provides a strong overview of microgrid modelling - Describes the most important problems of DC microgrid application, with grid-connected and off-grid operating modes, aiming to supply DC building distribution networks - Offers experimental problem examples and results - Includes supervisory control and energy management

This book focuses on computational methods for large-scale statistical inverse problems and provides an introduction to statistical Bayesian and frequentist methodologies. Recent research advances for approximation methods are discussed, along with Kalman filtering methods and optimization-based approaches to solving inverse problems. The aim is to cross-fertilize the perspectives of researchers in the areas of data assimilation, statistics, large-scale optimization, applied and computational mathematics, high performance computing, and cutting-edge applications. The solution to large-scale inverse problems critically depends on methods to reduce computational cost. Recent research approaches tackle this challenge in a variety of different ways. Many of the computational frameworks highlighted in this book build upon state-of-the-art methods for simulation of the forward problem, such as, fast Partial Differential Equation (PDE) solvers, reduced-order models and emulators of the forward problem, stochastic spectral approximations, and ensemble-based approximations, as well as exploiting the machinery for large-scale deterministic optimization through adjoint and other sensitivity analysis methods. Key Features: Brings together the perspectives of researchers in areas of inverse problems and data assimilation. Assesses the current state-of-the-art and identify needs and opportunities for future research. Focuses on the computational methods used to analyze and simulate inverse problems. Written by leading experts of inverse problems and uncertainty quantification. Graduate students and researchers working in statistics, mathematics and engineering will benefit from this book.

Dans la litterature de l'automatique, deux classes de systemes dynamiques sont distinguees: continus et discrets. L'idee de reunir ces deux classes, qui s'est developpee a la fin des annees 1980, a donnee naissance a l'automatique des systemes dynamiques hybrides. Ce besoin se fit sentir car de nombreux systemes reels connaissent des evolutions a la fois continues et evenementielles. Avec l'interaction et la relation rigide entre les phenomenes continus et discrets, le comportement des systemes hybrides peut sembler extremement complexe et son etude s'avere delicate. Il n'existe pas pour l'instant de theorie globale pour l'etude de ces systemes, mais plutot des approches basees sur l'extension des methodes classiques issues des systemes continus ou discretes. Ce livre s'interesse a la resolution des problemes de commande optimale des systemes dynamiques hybrides a commutations de modeles via la methode du calcul des variations. Deux algorithmes d'optimisation, bases sur methode de descente de gradient, sont presentes et implementes pour la minimisation d'un probleme de poursuite de trajectoire. Une application numerique est presentee afin de comparer les les resultats obtenus.

Electrification is an evolving paradigm shift in the transportation industry toward more efficient, higher performance, safer, smarter, and more reliable vehicles. There is in fact a clear trend to move from internal combustion engines (ICEs) to more integrated electrified powertrains. Providing a detailed overview of this growing area, Advanced Electric Drive Vehicles begins with an introduction to the automotive industry, an explanation of the need for electrification, and a presentation of the fundamentals of conventional vehicles and ICEs. It then proceeds to address the major components of electrified vehicles—i.e., power electronic converters, electric machines, electric motor controllers, and energy storage systems. This comprehensive work: Covers more electric vehicles (MEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), range-extended electric vehicles (REEVs), and all-electric vehicles (EVs) including battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) Describes the electrification technologies applied to nonpropulsion loads, such as power steering and air-conditioning systems Discusses hybrid battery/ultra-capacitor energy storage systems, as well as 48-V electrification and belt-driven starter generator systems Considers vehicle-to-grid (V2G) interface and electrical infrastructure issues, energy management, and optimization in advanced electric drive vehicles Contains numerous illustrations, practical examples, case studies, and challenging questions and problems throughout to ensure a solid understanding of key concepts and applications Advanced Electric Drive Vehicles makes an ideal textbook for senior-level undergraduate or graduate engineering courses and a user-friendly reference for researchers, engineers, managers, and other professionals interested in transportation electrification.
