Negenborn, R.R. (author), Sahin, A. (author), Lukszo, Z. (author), De Schutter, B. (author), Morari, M. (author)Irrigation canals transport water from water sources (such as large rivers and lakes) to water users (such as farmers). Irrigation canals are typically very large in nature, covering vast geographical areas, and involving a significant number of control actuators, such as pumps, gates, and locks. The control of such canals is aimed at...conference paper 2009

Arnold, M. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Andersson, G. (author), De Schutter, B. (author)The optimal operation of an integrated electricity and natural gas system is investigated. The couplings between these two systems are modeled by energy hubs, which serve as interface between the loads and the transmission infrastructures. Previously, we have applied a distributed control scheme to a static three-hub benchmark system. In this...conference paper 2009

Negenborn, R.R. (author), Van Overloop, P.J. (author), De Schutter, B. (author)Irrigation canals are large-scale systems, covering vast geographical areas, and consisting of many interconnected canal reaches that interact with control structures such as pumps and gates. The control of such irrigation canals is usually done in a manual way, in which a human operator travels along the irrigation canal to adjust the settings...conference paper 2009

Arnold, M. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Andersson, G. (author), De Schutter, B. (author)The optimal operation of an integrated electricity and natural gas infrastructure is investigated. The couplings between the electricity system and the gas system are modeled by so-called energy hubs, which represent the interface between the loads on the one hand and the transmission infrastructures on the other. To increase reliability and...conference paper 2009

Houwing, M. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Ilic, M.D. (author), De Schutter, B. (author)With the increasing application of distributed energy resources and information technologies in the electricity infrastructure, innovative possibilities for incorporating the demand side more actively in power system operation are enabled. At the residential level energy costs could be reduced with intelligent price-based control concepts ...conference paper 2009

Houwing, M. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), De Schutter, B. (author)The increasing presence of distributed energy resources, information and intelligence in the electricity infrastructure increases the possibilities for larger economic efficiency of power systems. This work shows the possible cost advantages of applying a model predictive control (MPC) strategy to residential energy systems. MPC can take future...conference paper 2008

Negenborn, R.R. (author), De Schutter, B. (author), Hellendoorn, J. (author)For several reasons, control of transportation networks like road traffic networks, power transmission networks, water distribution networks, etc. has to be done using a multi-agent control approach. We consider a multi-agent control approach in which each control agent uses Model Predictive Control (MPC) to determine its actions. Each control...conference paper 2006

Negenborn, R.R. (author), De Schutter, B. (author), Wiering, M.A. (author), Hellendoorn, J. (author)Model predictive control (MPC) is becoming an increasingly popular method to select actions for controlling dynamic systems. TraditionallyMPC uses a model of the system to be controlled and a performance function to characterize the desired behavior of the system. The MPC agent finds actions over a finite horizon that lead the system into a...conference paper 2004
