直流微电网集群多状态运行分级协调控制策略

为了对直流微电网集群进行协调控制并对其进行能量管理,提出一种多状态运行分级协调控制策略.该策略采用子微电网设备级控制与集群系统级控制的两级分级方式,在保证本微电网正常运行前提下利用分布式一致性算法控制集群微电网母线电压,并利用直流区域控制误差控制方法控制集群联络线功率.集群运行根据网内储能单元荷电状态值划分为多个运行状态,并针对不同运行状态制定不同的联络线功率控制策略,使集群内各子微电网在不同运行状态下的运行更加合理.最后,通过MATLAB/Simulink软件对所提控制策略在多工况下进行验证,结果表明采用所提控制策略时系统电压水平可以提高至额定电压附近,同时可以根据联络线功率控制策略在多个运行工况下切换并实现控制目标.     

线性多智能体系统一致性问题的部分稳定性方法（英文）

A linear transformation is proposed to deal with the consensus problem of high-order linear multi-agent systems(LMASs).In virtue of the linear transformation, the consensus problem is equivalently translated into a partial stability problem. We discuss three issues of the LMASs under a generalized linear protocol: 1) to find criteria of consensus convergence; 2) to calculate consensus function; 3) to design gain matrices in the linear consensus protocol. Precisely, we provide a necessary and sufficient criterion of consensus convergence in terms of Hurwitz stability of a matrix and give an analytical expression of the consensus function. In addition, we set up a relation between the gain matrices in the protocol and the convergence time and consensus accuracy of the agents, and then design the gain matrices with respect to a pre-specified convergence time and a required consensus accuracy.     

Protein design to understand peptide ligand recognition by tetratricopeptide repeat proteins

Protein design aims to understand the fundamentals of protein structure by creating novel proteins with pre-specified folds. An equally important goal is to understand protein function by creating novel proteins with pre-specified activities. Here we describe the design and characterization of a tetratricopeptide (TPR) protein, which binds to the C-terminal peptide of the eukaryotic chaperone Hsp90. The design emphasizes the importance of both direct, short-range protein-peptide interactions and of long-range electrostatic optimization. We demonstrate that the designed protein binds specifically to the desired peptide and discriminates between it and the similar C-terminal peptide of Hsp70.

Finite-time consensus of multiple second-order dynamic agents without velocity measurements

This article considers the finite-time consensus of multiple second-order dynamic agents without velocity measurements. A feasible protocol under which each agent can only obtain the measurements of its position relative to its neighbours is proposed. By applying the graph theory, Lyapunov theory and the homogeneous domination method, some sufficient conditions for finite-time consensus of second-order multi-agent systems are established under the different kinds of communication topologies. Some examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.     

Robust consensus algorithm for multi-agent systems with exogenous disturbances under convergence conditions

In this paper, a robust consensus algorithm is developed and sufficient conditions for convergence to consensus are proposed for a multi-agent system (MAS) with exogenous disturbances subject to partial information. By utilizing H_∞ robust control, differential game theory and a design-based approach, the consensus problem of the MAS with exogenous bounded interference is resolved and the disturbances are restrained, simultaneously. Attention is focused on designing an H_∞ robust controller (the robust consensus algorithm) based on minimisation of our proposed rational and individual cost functions according to goals of the MAS. Furthermore, sufficient conditions for convergence of the robust consensus algorithm are given. An example is employed to demonstrate that our results are effective and more capable to restrain exogenous disturbances than the existing literature.     

Allowable delay bound for consensus of linear multi-agent systems with communication delay

This paper studies the consensus of a group of linear dynamic agents with a uniform communication delay and focuses on searching an allowable delay bound. As long as the delay is less than this bound, there exist linear feedback consensus protocols driving the multi-agent system to achieve consensus. Both fixed and switching topology cases are investigated. In both cases, the consensus problem is converted to the robust stability problem of corresponding uncertain state-delayed systems. By using Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional analysis, consensus conditions which contain the feedback gain conditions and delay conditions are proposed for systems over fixed and switching topologies, respectively. Furthermore, allowable delay bounds are obtained for both systems by solving the optimal robust stabilisation problems. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the results.     

Nonlinear Consensus Algorithms with Uncertain Couplings

Distributed algorithms for synchronization and consensus in multi‐agent networks are considered. The agents are assumed to be linear of arbitrary order, the interaction topology may switch, and the couplings are uncertain, assumed only to satisfy certain quadratic constraints. Using the Kalman‐Yakubovich‐Popov lemma and absolute stability theory techniques, consensus criteria for the networks of this type are obtained. These criteria extend a number of known results for agents with special dynamics and are close in spirit to the celebrated circle criterion for the stability of Lurie systems.
