Comparison of different repetitive control architectures: synthesis and comparison. Application to VSI Converters
Repetitive control is one of the most used control approaches to deal with periodic references/disturbances. It owes its properties to the inclusion of an internal model in the controller that corresponds to a periodic signal generator. However, there exist many different ways to include this internal model. This work presents a description of the different schemes by means of which repetitive control can be implemented. A complete analytic analysis and comparison is performed together with controller synthesis guidance. The voltage source inverter controller experimental results are included to illustrative conceptual developmentsPeer ReviewedPostprint (published version
Hybrid static/dynamic scheduling for already optimized dense matrix factorization
We present the use of a hybrid static/dynamic scheduling strategy of the task
dependency graph for direct methods used in dense numerical linear algebra.
This strategy provides a balance of data locality, load balance, and low
dequeue overhead. We show that the usage of this scheduling in communication
avoiding dense factorization leads to significant performance gains. On a 48
core AMD Opteron NUMA machine, our experiments show that we can achieve up to
64% improvement over a version of CALU that uses fully dynamic scheduling, and
up to 30% improvement over the version of CALU that uses fully static
scheduling. On a 16-core Intel Xeon machine, our hybrid static/dynamic
scheduling approach is up to 8% faster than the version of CALU that uses a
fully static scheduling or fully dynamic scheduling. Our algorithm leads to
speedups over the corresponding routines for computing LU factorization in well
known libraries. On the 48 core AMD NUMA machine, our best implementation is up
to 110% faster than MKL, while on the 16 core Intel Xeon machine, it is up to
82% faster than MKL. Our approach also shows significant speedups compared with
PLASMA on both of these systems
Image Embedding of PMU Data for Deep Learning towards Transient Disturbance Classification
This paper presents a study on power grid disturbance classification by Deep
Learning (DL). A real synchrophasor set composing of three different types of
disturbance events from the Frequency Monitoring Network (FNET) is used. An
image embedding technique called Gramian Angular Field is applied to transform
each time series of event data to a two-dimensional image for learning. Two
main DL algorithms, i.e. CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) and RNN (Recurrent
Neural Network) are tested and compared with two widely used data mining tools,
the Support Vector Machine and Decision Tree. The test results demonstrate the
superiority of the both DL algorithms over other methods in the application of
power system transient disturbance classification.Comment: An updated version of this manuscript has been accepted by the 2018

Neural Networks for Modeling and Control of Particle Accelerators
We describe some of the challenges of particle accelerator control, highlight
recent advances in neural network techniques, discuss some promising avenues
for incorporating neural networks into particle accelerator control systems,
and describe a neural network-based control system that is being developed for
resonance control of an RF electron gun at the Fermilab Accelerator Science and
Technology (FAST) facility, including initial experimental results from a
benchmark controller.Comment: 21 p
