this paper works on the concept of flatness and its practical application for the design of an optimal transient controller in a synchronous machine. the feedback linearization scheme of interest requires the generation of a flat output from which the feedback control law can easily be designed. thus the computation of the flat output for reduced order model of the synchronous machine with simp...

This paper investigates the use of nonregular (not necessarily regular) static/dynamic state feedbacks to achieve feedback linearization of affine nonlinear systems. First, we provide an example which is nonregular static feedback linearizable but is not regular dynamic feedback linearizable. Then, we present some necessary conditions as well as sufficient conditions for nonregular feedback lin...

We present an algorithm for the linearization of hybrid processes modeled in hybrid process algebra (HyPA) and prove its correctness. HyPA is a formalism that is suitable for the algebraic analysis of hybrid systems, i.e., systems with continuous (physical) as well as discrete (computational) components. Linearization is a useful first step in this analysis, because it reduces the complexity of...
