La División Académica de Ingeniería y el International Graduate School on Control, les hacen una cordial invitación al curso "Energy-Based Control Design to Face the Challenges of Future Power Systems"  que se impartirá el Dr. Romeo Ortega por parte del ITAM y el Dr. Johannes Schiffer de Brandenburg University of Technology, del 1o. al 5 de agosto de 2022 en Monterrey Nuevo León, México.

Abstract of the course:

The ongoing transition towards low-carbon power systems renders the current fit-and-forget strategy of renewable distributed generation deployment infeasible and challenges today’s power system operation paradigms. In particular, modern power systems are characterized by an increasing number of active network elements with heterogeneous dynamics, resulting in complex networks with mutually interacting subsystems, instead of cause-effect, relations. As a consequence, the classical signal processing viewpoint of control, where the system and the controller are closed and isolated signal processors, and the control objectives are also expressed in terms of signals is highly inappropriate to provide the flexibility, modularity and scalability required in future power system operation.

Instead, to face these challenging problems a new control theory, focused on the energy and dissipation properties of the systems, has been developed in the last few years.  The main articulating concepts of this new theory are the property of passivity, which is a reformulation of energy conservation, and the formulation of control as an interconnection of energy exchanging dynamical systems. The aim of these lectures is to introduce the basic concepts of this new theory and their application to emerging problems in low-inertia power systems along with their main components, i.e., power converters, motors, generators and alternative energy sources, such as wind power plants and solar panels.
