The quality of a model resulting from (black-box) system identification is highly dependent on the quality of the data that is used during the identification procedure. Designing experiments for linear time-invariant systems is well understood and mainly focus on the power spectrum of the input signal. Performing experiment design for nonlinear system identification on the other hand remains an open challenge as informativity of the data depends both on the frequency-domain content and on the time-domain evolution of the input signal. Furthermore, as nonlinear system identification is much more sensitive to modelling and extrapolation errors, having experiments that explore the considered operation range of interest is of high importance. Hence, this work focuses on designing space-filling experiments i.e., experiments that cover the full operation range of interest, for nonlinear dynamical systems.

Graphène Induit par Laser : De la synthèse à l’intégration d’électrodes dans les systèmes électrochimiques
Résumé : Le graphène induit par laser (Laser-Induced Graphene, LIG) est une structure carbonée 3D poreuse et conductrice, obtenue en exposant un précurseur riche en carbone à un faisceau laser, sans réactifs chimiques ni étapes de purification. En jouant sur les paramètres laser, la composition du précurseur et l’atmosphère de travail, il est possible de contrôler finement la morphologie et les propriétés électrochimiques du matériau obtenu, voire de synthétiser in situ des matériaux hybrides (oxydes métalliques, matériaux 2D). Cette présentation illustrera comment le LIG peut être intégré comme électrode fonctionnelle dans des systèmes variés : capteurs électrochimiques, stockage d’énergie, électrocatalyse, valorisation de la biomasse et piles à combustible microbiennes. Le LIG se positionne ainsi comme une plateforme simple et versatile pour le développement d’interfaces électrochimiques hautes performances.

Laser-Induced Graphene : From Synthesis to Electrode Integration in Electrochemical Systems
Abstract : Laser-Induced Graphene (LIG) is a porous, conductive 3D carbon structure obtained by exposing a carbon-rich precursor to a laser beam, without chemical reagents or purification steps. By tuning the laser parameters, precursor composition, and working atmosphere, it is possible to finely control the morphology and electrochemical properties of the resulting material, and even to synthesize hybrid materials in situ (metal oxides, 2D materials). This presentation will illustrate how LIG can be integrated as a functional electrode in a variety of systems : electrochemical sensors, energy storage, electrocatalysis, biomass valorization, and microbial fuel cells. LIG thus stands as a simple and versatile platform for the development of high-performance electrochemical interfaces.
Keywords : Laser-induced graphene, functional electrodes, electrocatalysis, energy storage, electrochemical systems.

23/04/2026 12h45-13h45 à l’INSA de Lyon, bâtiment St Exupéry, 1e étage, salle de réunion : Quand les harmoniques deviennent des états : modélisation et commande des systèmes périodiques, application à la machine synchrone à réluctance variable
Les systèmes à coefficients périodiques sont omniprésents en génie électrique : machines tournantes, convertisseurs, réseaux AC, centrales inertielles... mais ils peuvent mettre en défaut les approches de la commande linéaire classique, qui négligent les couplages inter-harmoniques et les effets périodiques. Le formalisme du Harmonic State Space (HSS) (ou des Dynamic Phasors - DP) offre un cadre rigoureux pour résoudre ce problème : il transforme exactement un système temps périodique (TP) en un modèle temps invariant (TI) de dimension infinie, dont les états sont les harmoniques prises individuellement des signaux. Pour les systèmes LTP, il permet la mobilisation directe des outils de la commande LTI classique (retour d’état, LQR, H∞, LMI, LPV...) dans le domaine harmonique, et d’en déduire une commande elle-même à coefficients périodiques avec des garanties de stabilité. Ce séminaire détaillera la théorie HSS et illustrera la démarche par la synthèse d’un retour d’état périodique visant l’élimination des harmoniques de couple d’une machine à réluctance variable (SynRel).

21/04/2026 13-14h à l’INSA de Lyon, bâtiment Léonard de Vinci, 3e étage : Can supercapacitor assisted converter and protection techniques change the road map of future DC systems ?
Séminaire organisé dans le cadre de l’Ecole Doctorale EEA de Lyon.
With the world moving towards renewable energy resources AC versus DC debate comes back. Rapidly developing power electronic systems help us exchange power across DC and AC interfaces. State of the art power converters used to link DC output based renewable systems to grid come with several issues : (i) complexity of the product (ii) limited conversion efficiency (iii) requirement of central energy storge systems (ESS). When these converters keep feeding excess energy back to the grid it brings the potential issue of grid-stability.
Given that solar/wind outputs are DC, industry has chosen to combine SPWM based inverters with MPPT based DC-DC converters and battery banks. Today, lighting, whiteware and infotainment industries develop consumer products where line frequency disappears in the rectifier blocks, where AC line frequency or voltage regulation is not a concern. This case justifies moving into a DC world dominated by DC (micro) grids and DC powered consumer products. In DC systems, rectifier losses are primarily eliminated. Most ‘inverter driven” white goods and lighting systems do not require a precise DC rail. By combining these two advantages, together with battery-free distributed energy storage, electrical industry can justify the advantage of DC systems, with (a) increased efficiency (b) less components for reliability (c) less battery storage for environmental friendliness.
After 2000, supercapacitor (SC) industry has grown with over 1200 manufacturers and over 60k employees and a growth rate of 2.83%. Today single cell SCs come in four families with device sizes from fractional farads to over 100,000 F. Given that their equivalent series resistances are one order lower than lithium based rechargeable batteries SCs allow very high charge/discharge currents without overheating.
These high temperature capable SCs combined with ohms order loop resistances they create large time constant circuits. For example, 1 F SC combined with a 1-ohm loop resistance creates a circuit with a time constant (τ) of 1 second. This 3V rated SC comes with a storge capacity of 4.5 joules, compared with a 1 µF, 100V capacitor with a storage capacity of only 5 mJ forming a τ of 1µs. A common 3 V rated SC of 3000F comes with an energy storge capability of 13.5 kJ or 3.75 Wh. A larger SC of 100,000 F could store over 65 Wh. This practical scenario leads to consider these devices to be used in power converters with built in short/medium term energy storage and transient over voltage and over-current protection systems. These new Supercapacitor Assisted (SCA) converters and protection systems combined with DC powered consumer systems help us eliminate the three main issues (i) to (iii).
Presentation is on the new Supercapacitor Assisted (SCA) design approach for more efficient, less complex and central energy storge free future converter systems and protection techniques for the DC world. SCA techniques presented will include EMC free low speed DC-DC converters, DC LED lighting, DC whiteware, surge protectors and DC circuit breakers, with a brief introduction to an experimental household hybrid inverter system based on distributed SC energy storage.
