    • Cyber-attacks in modular multilevel converters 
      Burgos Mellado, Claudio; Donoso, Felipe; Dragicevic, Tomislav; Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús Roberto Pedro Alejandro; Wheeler, Patrick; Clare, Jon; Watson, Alan (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers, 2022)
      Distributed control of modular multilevel converter (MMC) submodules (SMs) offers several potential benefits such as flexibility, scalability, and modularity. In this approach, low-level control tasks, such as capacitor ...
    • Decentralized reinforcement learning applied to mobile robots 
      Leottau, David L.; Vatsyayan, Aashish; Ruiz del Solar, Javier; Babuška, Robert (Springer, 2017)
      In this paper, decentralized reinforcement learning is applied to a control problem with a multidimensional action space. We propose a decentralized reinforcement learning architecture for a mobile robot, where the individual ...
    • Decentralized reinforcement learning of robot behaviors 
      Leottau, David L.; Ruíz del Solar San Martín, Javier; Babuška, Robert (Elsevier, 2018)
      A multi-agent methodology is proposed for Decentralized Reinforcement Learning (DRL) of individual behaviors in problems where multi-dimensional action spaces are involved. When using this methodology, sub-tasks are learned ...
    • Distributed control strategy based on a consensus algorithm and on the conservative power theory for imbalance ... 
      Burgos Mellado, Claudio Danilo; Llanos Proaño, Jacqueline; Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús; Sáez Hueichapan, Doris (IEEE, 2020)
      A distributed control system is proposed which uses the Conservative Power Theory (CPT) and a consensus algorithm to share imbalance and harmonics between different converters in three-phase four-wire droop-controlled ...
    • Multi-objective finite-time control for the interlinking converter on hybrid AC/DC microgrids 
      Martínez Gómez, Manuel Enrique; Navas Fonseca, Alex Dario; Orchard Concha, Marcos Eduardo; Bozhko, Serhiy; Burgos Mellado, Claudio Danilo; Cárdenas Dobson, Jesús Roberto (IEEE Access, 2021)
      Hybrid AC/DC microgrids are of special interest for energization due to their exibility, low infrastructure investments, reduced conversion losses, and reliability against failures on the utility grid. In these systems, ...
    • Single-phase consensus-based control for regulating voltage and sharing unbalanced currents in 3-wire ... 
      Burgos Mellado, Claudia; Llanos, Jacqueline; Espina González, Enrique; Sáez Hueichapan, Doris; Cárdenas Dobson, Roberto; Sumner, Mark; Watson, Alan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020)
      A distributed control strategy is proposed to share unbalanced currents in three-phase three-wire isolated AC Microgrids (MGs). It is based on a novel approach where, rather than analysing the MG as a three-phase system, ...
    • Toward real-time decentralized reinforcement learning using finite support basis functions 
      Lobos-Tsunekawa, Kenzo; Leottau, David; Ruiz del Solar, Javier (Springer Verlag, 2017)
      This paper addresses the design and implementation of complex Reinforcement Learning (RL) behaviors where multi-dimensional action spaces are involved, as well as the need to execute the behaviors in real-time using robotic ...
