Research
Control Optimisation in Energy
Industrial controllers for grid-connected converters (PI controllers in particular) are inherently limited due to their competing control nature. Practically, these limitations result in low power quality, inefficient power generation and transmission, and a possible loss of electricity, all of which cause loss of money for both electric utility companies and electric energy customers. This reduces system reliability and efficiency and affects the motivation for the customers to adopt energy generated from renewable resources. Our work is focused on developing adaptive control techniques for energy applications. More specifically, we have simulated a battery of neural network controllers trained with adaptive dynamic programming techniques which consistently outperform traditional PI controllers in that they are able to track reference currents under variable, switching conditions in real-time.
So far, we have prioritised the application of our technology to grid converters (HVDC and STATCOM) and have also carried out pilot experiments with PMS EDV motors. Our research may be instrumental in meeting DECC targets, and have a high impact in the adoption of affordable renewable energies and the development of smart grids. We are now engaged in the validation (hardware-in-the-loop testing) and commercialisation of our technology --and seeking to collaborate with companies in the energy sector. At the same time, we are expanding the application of our technology to ambient energy harvesting for wireless sensor networks.
In this and related research in optimal control I and Michael Fairbank's at City University London collaborate with Shuhui Li at The University of Alabama, Don Wunsch at the Missouri University of Science and Technology, and Danil Prokhorov, from Toyota Research Institute, Michigan.
Our research has resulted various patents and in high quality publications in IEEE Transactions in Neural Networks and Learning Systems, Neural Computation, Neural Networks, and in the Proceedings of the IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks.
Computational Neuroscience
My work in computational neuroscience focuses on real-time error-correction models of associative learning. Together with Esther Mondragon at the Centre for Computational and Animal Learning Research (CAL), we have developed a representation of CSC Temporal Difference that extends the original model to incorporate stimulus configurations. This new model, called Serial and Simultaneous Configural-cue Compound stimuli TD (SSCC TD), offers a straightforward analysis of stimulus generalization and accounts for summation and context effects, non-linear discriminations, and, more significantly, structural discriminations, that is, discriminations that rely solely on the serial pattern of the stimulus arrangement. We are extending the model with attentional parameters now with Niklas Kokkola.
In addition, we are collaborating with Charlotte Bonardi (University of Nottimgham) and Domhnall Jennings (University of Newcastle), in their research on timing phenomena within an associative framework, and with Andre Luzardo, Francois Rivest (Royal Military College of Canada ), and Elliot Ludvig (University of Warwick) in adaptive drift-diffusion models of interval timing dynamics.
We believe it is paramount that computational models are implemented in simulators that quickly and accurately test their predictions. At CAL we develop cross-platform and user-friendly simulators of classical conditioning models for research and teaching purposes. In particular, with Jonathan Gray (University of Southampton) and Alberto Fernandez-Gil (Universidad Rey Juan Carlos), we have made available a Rescorla and Wagner's model simulator,CAL-RWSim, a CSC Temporal Difference simulator, CAL-TDSim, and a simulator of our SSCC TD model, SSCC-TDSim.
I also collaborate with Mark Broom and Jan Teichmann at the Centre of Mathematical Science in simulating how learning affects the evolution of aposematism and foraging, and with colleagues at the School of Arts and Social Sciences in applying computational models of learning to the study of eating disorders, and autism, and on the effects of social status on learning.
Finally, I help Nestor Schmajuk (Duke Institute for Brain Sciences) manage the Society for Computational Modeling of Associative Learning (SOCMAL).
Our research in this area has been published in PLoS ONE, the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behaviour Processes, Learning and Behavior, Neuroinformatics, Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, the Journal of Theoretical Biology, and in the journal of Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena.
Systems of Systems
Systems of Systems have been defined as systems that describe the large-scale integration of many independent self-contained systems to satisfy global needs or multi-system requests. They are characterized by their autonomy, emergence and adaptability. Notwithstanding their ubiquity and importance, we are still lacking appropriate tools and models for their design, implementation, and validation. With Nicos Karcanias (Systems and Control Centre) and Ali G. Hessami (Vega Systems), we are investigating at the City Complexity Science Group innovative ways to specify, develop, and analyze hierarchical Systems of Systems which combine physical and cyber structures.
We have presented preliminary results at the IEEE Systems Conference, and at the IEEE Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics. In the practical side, we are interested in developing a Systems of Systems framework and architecture for the integration of smart technologies in safe and sustainable rail infrastructures –along with Bombardier plc.
Other research interests
I collaborate in projects involving multi-agent systems architectures, and communication and co-ordination protocols for health systems (personalized health systems, with Peter Weller at the Centre for Health Informatics, and the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid) and telecommunication networks (with the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid), machine learning techniques for IT (cyber-security, with Kevin Jones at the Centre for Software Reliability), and data mining algorithms for safety in air transport (with UCL and easyJet plc).
