Ref No 5352 Differential flatness approaches to nonlinear filtering and control: Applications
to Electromechanical Systems, Duration: 2014-2015 . The project has analyzed the design of model-based controllers,
nonlinear adaptive controllers, and nonlinear filters using exact linearization which was based on differential flatness
theory and differential geometry methods. The obtained filters were shown to exhibit specific advantages as they outperform
in terms of accuracy of estimation and computation speed other nonlinear filters. The obtained adaptive controllers were
shown to be suitable for a wider class of nonlinear systems with unknown dynamics while it was proven that they assure
reliable functioning of the control loop under uncertainty and under varying operating conditions. Moreover, the project
has analysed differential flatness theory-based control and filtering methods for distributed parameter systems. The
developed control and filtering software was addressed to: industrial and mobile robots, electric power systems, electric
motors and actuator systems, power electronics and energy conversion systems as well as to combustion engines and propulsion systems.
