A04: Generalized passivity-based control of bilinear port-Hamiltonian systems

Principal investigators:

Prof. Dr. Hannes Gernandt; Prof. Dr. Timo Reis

Project description:

Control of networked energy systems requires an extension of the widely applied passivity-based approaches to larger classes of systems. Therefore, we develop passivity notions for bilinear and switched differential-algebraic systems. Although port-Hamiltonian systems are passive, the passivity does not incorporate the systems’ dissipation explicitly and hence the relation between both notions is studied. Moreover, a theory of switched differential-algebraic port-Hamiltonian systems is developed that can be used for control design. The new control approaches are compared for switched power systems and district heating systems.
