Crowd-Averse Robust Mean-Field Games: Approximation via State Space Extension
2016
We consider a population of dynamic agents, also referred to as players. The state of each player evolves according to a linear stochastic differential equation driven by a Brownian motion and under the influence of a control and an adversarial disturbance. Every player minimizes a cost functional which involves quadratic terms on state and control plus a cross-coupling mean-field term measuring the congestion resulting from the collective behavior, which motivates the term “crowd-averse.” Motivations for this model are analyzed and discussed in three main contexts: a stock market application, a production engineering example, and a dynamic demand management problem in power systems. For th…
A New Kinematic and Dynamic Direct Adaptive Fuzzy Control of Constrained Mobile Wheeled Vehicles
2005
In this paper a new kinematic and dynamic adaptive Fuzzy control is applied to a trajectory tracking problem of a constrained vehicle with two indipendent wheels. The vehicle dynamics and kinematics are completely unknown. A dynamical and kinematical adaptive control provide to on line estimation of the dynamic and kinematic parameters of the vehicle model. Moreover the parameters of the kinematic control law are obtained using a Fuzzy controller and they are time varying and dependent on tracking errors. The stabililty of the kinematic and dynamic adaptive Fuzzy control system and the convergence of tracking errors to zero are proved using Lyapunov's method and Barbalat's Lemma. The effect…
Quantifying the Potential Economic Benefits of Flexible Industrial Demand in the European Power System
2018
The envisaged decarbonization of the European power system introduces complex techno-economic challenges to its operation and development. Demand flexibility can significantly contribute in addressing these challenges and enable a cost-effective transition to the low-carbon future. Although extensive previous work has analyzed the impacts of residential and commercial demand flexibility, the respective potential of the industrial sector has not yet been thoroughly investigated despite its large size. This paper presents a novel, whole-system modeling framework to comprehensively quantify the potential economic benefits of flexible industrial demand (FID) for the European power system. This …
