We focus on the development of a Lyapunov-based economic model predictive control (LEMPC) method for a class of switched nonlinear systems for which the mode transitions take place according to a prescribed switching schedule. In contrast to steady-state operation of conventional model predictive control (MPC) methods which use a quadratic objective function in their formulations, LEMPC utilize...

this paper is concerned with the problem of designing discrete-time control systems with closed-loop eigenvalues in a prescribed region of stability. first, we obtain a state feedback matrix which assigns all the eigenvalues to zero, and then by elementary similarity operations we find a state feedback which assigns the eigenvalues inside a circle with center   and radius. this new algorithm ca...

in the recent decade, special attention is paid to reverse logistic due to economic benefits of recovery and recycling of used products as well as environmental legislation and social concerns. on the other hand، many researches claim that separately and sequential planning of forward and reverse logistic causes sub-optimality. effective transport activities are also one of the most important c...

This paper presents an implementation of open loop and closed loop control of Quadratic boost converter using PID controller.  Quadratic boost converter consists of boost converter and fly back converter driven by a single switch. Quadratic boost converter QBC is designed especially for regulating the DC interface between various micro sources and dc-ac inverter to electricity grid. Quadratic b...

This paper presents a distance protection test procedure by applying the Real-Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) of a power system. RTDS is a tool to design, develop, and test power-system protection. The RTDS enables real-time computation of electromagnetic phenomena with a calculation time step of even 50μs. The hardware allows the import and export of many signals from the simulator to an ext...

recovery of used products is receiving much attention recently due to growing environmental concerns.in this paper, we address the carbon footprint basedon problem arising in closed-loop supply chain where returned products are collected from customers. these returned products can either be disposed or be remanufactured to be sold as new ones again. here, we formulate a comprehensive closed-loo...
