In this paper a structure will be given which in a remarkably simple way offers a solution to the implementation of different telemanipulation schemes for discrete time varying delays by preserving passivity and allowing the highest transparency possible. This is achieved by splitting the communication channel in two separate ones, one for the energy balance which will ensure passivity and one ...

passive system cannot deliver more energy than what is stored. Typically, a passive system delivers less than what is stored since useful energy is invariably and irreversibly lost through friction and other dissipative processes that convert useful work into heat. Such properties show that passivity is related to principles used to develop mathematical models for all kinds of physical systems....

Feedback connection of (strict) passive systems with multiplicative disturbance on the input of one of systems is considered. Series of conditions are proposed, which provide (strict) passivity property for overall system. These conditions enlarge result from Hill, and Moylan (1977), where passivity property of such connection was established. Applications of proposed results to backstepping co...

The property of decentralized integral controllability (DIC) is related to the concept of passivity in this note. A su$cient condition for DIC is proposed based on the passivity theorem and a computational method for testing DIC is presented. 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Passivity{based control (PBC) is a well{established structure{preserving design methodology which has shown to be very powerful to design robust controllers for physical systems described by Euler{Lagrange equations of motion. For regulation problems of mechanical systems it provides a natural procedure to \shape" the potential energy yielding controllers with a clear physical interpretation. I...

process essentially is conservative and, in some discipline, produces a regression to some mean—all articles in a particular journal resemble each other. As a result, there is little innovation in the forms and contents of thinking and theorizing. Despite being in special institutional positions (variously theorized as gatekeepers or obligatory points of passage), few editors appear to allow mo...

In this letter we propose a new passivity-based control technique for Buck converter based DC microgrids comprising ZIP-loads, i.e., loads with the parallel combination of constant impedance (Z), current (I) and power (P). More precisely, novel passifying input storage function on mixed potential introduced by Brayton Moser, relaxing restrictive (sufficient) conditions Z, P voltage reference, w...
