關於本電子書
Organized into two blocks, the book first tackles process control, covering dynamic and large-scale problems such as load-frequency control in power grids and wastewater-treatment-plant automation. The second block explores robotics and vehicles, focusing on areas like fault-tolerant control of quadrotors and lateral stability in electric vehicles. Each benchmark presents complex engineering challenges, allowing readers to experiment with various control approaches.
This book is set apart by the consistent structure of its chapters, which enables readers to adapt benchmarks for their own systems easily. Each chapter includes:
- a brief overview of the benchmark, highlighting its significance and technical hurdles;
- a detailed problem description, including engineering goals and constraints;
- experimental setup, performance metrics, and data collection methods;
- downloadable materials and instructions for running simulations or accessing physical platforms; and
- a discussion of existing solutions, case studies, and open challenges to inspire further research.
Whether you're a practitioner, an academic researcher, or a student eager to deepen your understanding of control systems, Control Systems Benchmarks offers practical insights and valuable resources to advance your work.
關於作者
Professor José M. Maestre holds a PhD from the University of Seville, where he currently works as a full professor. He has held various positions at universities such as TU Delft, University of Pavia, Kyoto University and Tokyo Institute of Technology. His research focuses on the control of distributed cyber-physical systems, with a special emphasis on the integration of heterogeneous agents in the control loop. He has published more than 200 journal and conference papers, co-edited several books, and led multiple research projects. Finally, his achievements have been recognized through several awards and honors, including the Spanish Royal Academy of Engineering's medal for his contributions to the predictive control of large-scale systems.
Professor Carlos Ocampo-Martinez, Doctor in Control Engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTECH, has been actively involved in research and development activities pertaining to the management and control of water and energy systems. His research focuses on evolutionary game theory, model predictive control strategies, distributed optimization approaches for large-scale network management, and the management and control of large-scales systems. Professor Ocampo-Martinez has written more than a hundred of high-qualityjournal articles on a variety of issues, including decentralised control for urban water and energy systems, model predictive control of complex networks, and management/control of clean energy production devices.
