Adaptive Black-Box Equivalent Modeling of Multiple Marine Micro-Grids Interconnected Through Subsea Cables

Transmission of electrical power through subsea-cables over long distances

Crude oil is the basis for almost all products of our modern life. However, the sources where crude oil can be exploited easily are limited. Therefore, in addition to existing oilfields, sources which require more technical effort must be exploited in future. Many of such oilwells are subsea. Some of them are nearby the coast, but others are some 10 to 100 km away from the coast and in a depth ...

Black Box Optimization of PID controllers for Micro Aerial Vehicles

When operating flying robots we repeatedly face the necessity of tuning controllers for particular electronic and physical configurations. In the spirit of embodied robotic learning we want to tune the controllers during the system’s closed-loop operation. We present an experiment applying a black box Bayesian optimization technique to the problem of tuning a hierarchical vertical position PID ...

Nonlinear Black-box Modeling in System Identiication

Developing Black Box Specifications Through Sequence Enumeration

A rigorous behavioral specification can greatly reduce risk by exposing ambiguities in requirements and making explicit otherwise tacit information. Such an external, or “black box” specification can be developed from behavioral requirements in a systematic manner through the process of sequence enumeration. This process results in an arguably complete, consistent, and traceable specification o...

PMU-Based Matching Pursuit Method for Black-Box Modeling of Synchronous Generator

This paper presents the application of the matching pursuit method to model synchronous generator. This method is useful for online analysis. In the proposed method, the field voltage is considered as input signal, while the terminal voltage and active power of the generator are output signals. Usually, the difference equation with a second degree polynomial structure is used to estimate the co...
