TL;DR: In this article, a remote control equipment for monitoring and managing a street lighting system is presented, composed by a local control, realized by master boards located inside electrical panels and slave boards mounted on each lamppost, and by a remote controller realized by a central unit for the remote communication with the local control system.
Abstract: In this paper a remote control equipment for monitoring and managing a street lighting system is presented. It is composed by a local control, realized by master boards located inside electrical panels and slave boards mounted on each lamppost, and by a remote control realized by a central unit for the remote communication with the local control system. The communication between master and slave boards is realized using power line modems, while the remote control central unit is connected to master boards via a GPRS-GSM communication. Master board allows to choice the electrical phase for the power line communication and to send the control commands to the slave boards on each lamppost. Slave boards allow to turn on/off the lamppost, to reduce power consumption using a device developed by ALBATROS Italia S.r.L., and to detect the lamp status, checking the current flow on the lamp itself.

TL;DR: A new model for IPMC actuators, based on non-integer order models, is proposed, which is particularly attractive for possible applications in different fields, such as robotics, aerospace, biomedicine, etc.
Abstract: The paper proposes a new model for IPMC actuators, based on non-integer order models. IPMCs are very interesting because of their capability to transform electrical energy into mechanical energy and vice-versa, making them particularly attractive for possible applications in different fields, such as robotics, aerospace, biomedicine, etc. A great interest has been devoted to non-integer, or fractional, order systems because they well model a lot of physical systems. An experimental setup has been realized to study the IPMCs behavior and an algorithm has been developed in Matlab Environment to identify a fractional order model of IPMC actuators.

TL;DR: A new procedure which allows to define the parameters of a Fractional Order Proportional Integrative Derivative (FO-PID) controller that stabilizes a first-order plant with time-delay is proposed.
Abstract: The paper proposes a new procedure which allows to define the parameters of a Fractional Order Proportional Integrative Derivative (FO-PID) controller that stabilizes a first-order plant with time-delay. The stabilizing FO-PID parameters complete set has been determined by the application of the Hermite–Biehler theorem to fractional order systems. The proposed procedure has been verified by computer simulations that confirm the effectiveness of the approach. The diffused PID controller industrial use and the verified capability of their non-integer order form justifies the timely FO-PID controller interest.

Abstract: Consider the function defined for \(\alpha _{1},\ \alpha _{2} \in \mathbb{R}\) (α 1 2 +α 2 2 ≠ 0) and \(\beta _{1},\beta _{2} \in \mathbb{C}\) by the series
$$\displaystyle{ E_{\alpha _{1},\beta _{1};\alpha _{2},\beta _{2}}(z) \equiv \sum _{k=0}^{\infty } \frac{z^{k}} {\varGamma (\alpha _{1}k +\beta _{1})\varGamma (\alpha _{2}k +\beta _{2})}\ \ (z \in \mathbb{C}). }$$
(6.1.1)
Such a function with positive α 1 > 0, α 2 > 0 and real \(\beta _{1},\beta _{2} \in \mathbb{R}\) was introduced by Dzherbashian [Dzh60].
