There is a large variety of methods in literature for process design and control, which can be
classified into two main categories. The methods in the first category have a sequential …

In this paper, the empirical observability Gramian calculated around the operating region of
a power system is used to quantify the degree of observability of the system states under …

Thermal management is an integral part of battery management systems due to the effect of
temperature on safety, lifetime, and efficiency of batteries. Therefore, a reliable real-time …

In this paper, a novel observability analysis method of a nonlinear navigation system is
proposed, and its application to the optimization of beacon configuration for Mars entry …

In this paper, the empirical controllability covariance (ECC), which is calculated around the
considered operating condition of a power system, is applied to quantify the degree of …

Utilizing the concept of observability, in conjunction with tools from graph theory and
optimization, this paper develops an algorithm for network synthesis with privacy …

Control system performance is highly dependent on the quality of sensor information
