LMI Techniques Applied to LPV Systems

⏱️ Duration: 4 hours
👩‍🏫 Instructor: Dr. Eng. Karina A. Barbosa
🏛️ Institution: University of Santiago, Chile

Abstract

Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) systems are state-space representations that depend on time-varying parameters and are useful for modeling various types of complex dynamic systems, such as uncertain or nonlinear systems. In recent decades, various computational and mathematical tools have been used for the analysis and control of LPV systems, with Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) being particularly noteworthy.

In this context, this workshop will focus on both theoretical and practical approaches to applying LMIs for stability analysis and control of LPV systems. It will begin with a brief introduction to LPV system modeling, followed by addressing challenges related to the stability, performance, and robustness of these systems.

Requirements

For the proper development of the workshop, basic knowledge of control systems and basic use of MATLAB is required. Additionally, participants should have MATLAB and YALMIP installed, along with a solver for LMIs (semidefinite programming) such as MOSEK, SeDuMi, or SDPT3.

Abstract

This course provides essential fundamentals for modeling, controller design, and real-time implementation for aerial vehicles. Starting from a general model, dynamic models of aircraft with different configurations are built modularly, based on the analysis of the aerodynamic actuators that compose them. The problem of rotational kinematics control is addressed, considering the nonlinear nature of the configuration space.

Finally, the characteristics of available sensors and actuators are described, as well as their integration with a digital signal processor. The control schemes are illustrated through a flight simulator and the use of MATLAB/Simulink.

Predictive Control for Water-Energy-Food Microgrids

👩‍🏫 Speaker: Prof. Doris Sáez
🏛️ Affiliation: University of Chile
🌱 Focus: Sustainable Resource Management

Abstract

Climate change has made rural community environments susceptible to water shortages, impacting crop yields. A water-energy-food management system is proposed based on a robust predictive control strategy to address these issues. A medium-term optimisation estimates the necessary water demand required to support crop growth and high yield, and a short-term optimisation determines optimal crop irrigation and reserve water.

Both optimisations are based on predictive control strategies and use fuzzy evolving prediction intervals to characterise the dynamics and uncertainties of climate conditions that mainly influence the energy and water microgrids. The integrated food-water-energy management system improves the sustainability of water resources according to energy availability/costs and water use requirements.

Reflections on Engineering and Technology - Need and Urgency

👨‍🏫 Speaker: Prof. José Álvarez Ramírez
🏛️ Affiliation: Department of Process Engineering and Hydraulics, UAM-Iztapalapa
🔬 Research: Process dynamics and control, Food science and technology

Abstract

Science, as a tool for understanding reality, has been the subject of reflections from various schools of thought, seeking to give meaning and place to scientific knowledge within the human process. In contrast, engineering and technology have received marginal attention, and reflections on these disciplines have focused mainly on a positivist line rather than critical thinking.

This raises the question of whether engineering and technology deserve reflections and introspections similar to those made for science. It is also worth questioning who should take on the task of carrying out such reflections: philosophers? engineers and technologists? or an interdisciplinary collaboration?

Biography

José Álvarez Ramírez holds a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from UASLP (1984) and postgraduate studies in Control and Dynamic Systems from UAM-Iztapalapa (1991). He is currently a Professor-Researcher at the Department of Process Engineering and Hydraulics at UAM-Iztapalapa.

His research focuses on process dynamics and control, as well as food science and technology. With an extensive academic career, he has contributed significantly to the understanding of complex systems and their control mechanisms.

Prof. Álvarez Ramírez has been particularly interested in the philosophical and epistemological aspects of engineering practice, promoting critical thinking about the role of technology in contemporary society and its impact on human development.
