This paper developed and established unprecedented global results on the structure of determining matrices of generic double time-delay linear autonomous functional differential control systems, with a view to obtaining the controllability matrix associated with the rank condition for the Euclidean controllability of the system. The computational process and implementation of the controllability matrix were demonstrated on the MATLAB platform to determine the controllability disposition of a small-problem instance. Finally, the work examined the computing complexity of the determining matrices.

This paper will provide a study of the delay-independent stability of uncertain control systems, represented by a family of quasipolynomials with single time-delays. The uncertain systems that are considered here are delay differential systems whose parameters are known only by their lower and upper bounds. The results are given in the form of necessary and sufficient conditions along with the assumptions for the quasipolynomial families considered. The conditions are transformed into convenient forms, which provide analytical expressions that can be easily checked by commercially available computing tools. For uncertain systems represented by families of quasipolynomials, it is shown that the delay independent stability for the extreme values of parameters is not sufficient for the delay independent stability of the entire family. In addition, the family must satisfy some conditions for the interior values of each parameter within specially constructed frequency ranges. The implementation of the theorem that is suggested is demonstrated on an example system that includes a single degree of freedom system with an active vibration absorber, namely the Delayed Resonator.

The deployment of microgrids could be fostered by control systems that do not require very complex modelling, calibration, prediction and/or optimisation processes. This paper explores the application of Reinforcement Learning (RL) techniques for the operation of a microgrid. The implemented Deep Q-Network (DQN) can learn an optimal policy for the operation of the elements of an isolated microgrid, based on the interaction agent-environment when particular operation actions are taken in the microgrid components. In order to facilitate the scaling-up of this solution, the algorithm relies exclusively on historical data from past events, and therefore it does not require forecasts of the demand or the renewable generation. The objective is to minimise the cost of operating the microgrid, including the penalty of non-served power. This paper analyses the effect of considering different definitions for the state of the system by expanding the set of variables that define it. The obtained results are very satisfactory as it can be concluded by their comparison with the perfect-information optimal operation computed with a traditional optimisation model, and with a Naive model.

The dynamics and properties of set-valued states of differential control systems with uncertainties in initial data are studied. It is assumed that the dynamical system has a special structure, in which nonlinear terms in the right-hand sides of related differential equations are quadratic in state coordinates. We construct external and internal ellipsoidal estimates of reachable sets of nonlinear control system and find differential equations of proposed ellipsoidal estimates of reachable sets of nonlinear control system. The results obtained for quadratic system nonlinearities are extended to other types of control systems under uncertainty.
