Technical notes

Self-contained PDF notes, written in LaTeX, that document the models: derivations, control design and simulation results. They are the reference for the blocks in the library and for the benches in the repositories. The files are hosted on GitHub; the links open the viewer, the arrow downloads the PDF.
