Automatic systems are like campfires: if you take good care of them when they are small, when they grow big they will take care of you.

Jean-Sébastien Brouillon obtained a Bsc. in Micro-engineering from EPFL and a Msc. in Robotics, Systems and Control from ETH Zürich in 2016 and 2019, respectively. During his graduate studies, he conducted research at the Automatic Control Laboratory at ETH on decentralized control. From 2018 to 2019 he worked as an Embedded Software Developer for collaborative robot arms at F&P Robotics. He joined the NCCR project as doctoral researcher from EPFL in November 2020. He is part of the DECODE group under Prof. Ferrari Trecate's supervision, and focuses on identification and control of power networks.

Online estimation and control for autonomous electric networks

Summary

For temporally varying electric distribution networks, reliable information about the system topology and parameters may be missing or outdated. In the project we will develop online estimation algorithms for the network reconstruction, so as to automatically track changes, even in the presence of noisy and incomplete data. Furthermore, we will blend online estimation algorithms with higher-level controllers commonly used in distribution networks and apply our methods to the moon-shot testbed developed in the NCCR. Our ultimate goal is to contribute to the development of autonomous electric networks that self-adapt in real-time to changing ambient conditions.
