de Gelder, E. (author), Manders, Jeroen (author), Grappiolo, Corrado (author), Paardekooper, Jan Pieter (author), Camp, Olaf Op Den (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Scenario-based methods for the assessment of Automated Vehicles (AVs) are widely supported by many players in the automotive field. Scenarios captured from real-world data can be used to define the scenarios for the assessment and to estimate their relevance. Therefore, different techniques are proposed for capturing scenarios from real-world...conference paper 2020

Pippia, T.M. (author), Lago, Jesus (author), Coninck, Roel De (author), Sijs, J. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)In the context of building heating systems control in office buildings, the current state-of-the-art applies either a deterministic Model Predictive Control (MPC) controller together with a nonlinear model, or a linearized model with a stochastic MPC controller. Deterministic MPC considers only one realization of the external disturbances,...conference paper 2019

Dominguez Frejo, J.R. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)The main goal of this paper is the proposal and simulation of a SPEed limit controller for Recurrent Traffic jams (SPERT) that approximates the behavior of an optimal controller when congestion profiles are similar to the typical one. In order to achieve this goal, the optimal solution for the typical demand profile is computed and used as a...conference paper 2018

Siniscalchi-Minna, S. (author), De-Prada-Gil, M. (author), Bianchi, F. D. (author), Ocampo-Martinez, C. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Nowadays, wind power plants (WPPs) should be able to dynamically change their power output to meet the power demanded by the transmission system operators. When the wind power generation exceeds the power demand, the WPP works in de-loading operation keeping some power reserve to be delivered into the grid to balance the frequency drop. This...conference paper 2018

Picallocruz, M. (author), Anta, Adolfo (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Panosyan, Ara (author)In this paper we consider the problem of State Estimation (SE) in large-scale, 3-phase coupled, unbalanced distribution systems. More specifically, we address the problem of including mixed real-time measurements, synchronized and unsynchronized, from phasor measurement units and smart meters, into existing SE solutions. We propose a...conference paper 2018

(author)In this paper, distributed optimization approaches are developed for the planning of maintenance operations of large-scale railway infrastructure formulated as a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problem. The proposed planning problem is solved using three different distributed optimization schemes: Parallel Augmented Lagrangian...conference paper 2018

Lago, Jesus (author), De Brabandere, Karel (author), De Ridder, Fjo (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)In recent years, as the share of solar power in the electrical grid has been increasing, accurate methods for forecasting solar irradiance have become necessary to manage the electrical grid. More specifically, as solar generators are geographically dispersed, it is very important to have general models that can predict solar irradiance without...conference paper 2018

Xu, J. (author), Buşoniu, Lucian (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)We consider the infinite-horizon optimal control of discrete-time, Lipschitz continuous piecewise affine systems with a single input. Stage costs are discounted, bounded, and use a 1 or ∞-norm. Rather than using the usual fixed-horizon approach from model-predictive control, we tailor an adaptive-horizon method called optimistic planning for...conference paper 2017

Dang Doan, Minh (author), Diehl, Moritz (author), Keviczky, T. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)In this paper we introduce an iterative distributed Jacobi algorithm for solving convex optimization problems, which is motivated by distributed model predictive control (MPC) for linear time-invariant systems. Starting from a given feasible initial guess, the algorithm iteratively improves the value of the cost function with guaranteed...conference paper 2017

(author)This paper develops a defect-based risk analysis methodology for estimating rail failure risk. The methodology relies on an evolution model addressing the severity level of rail surface defect, called squat. The risk of rail failure is assessed by analyzing squat failure probability using a probabilistic analysis of the squat cracks. For this...conference paper 2016

(author)In this paper, we propose a deep convolutional neural network solution to the analysis of image data for the detection of rail surface defects. The images are obtained from many hours of automated video recordings. This huge amount of data makes it impossible to manually inspect the images and detect rail surface defects. Therefore, automated...conference paper 2016

Alavi, F. (author), van de Wouw, N. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Recently, the idea of using fuel cell vehicles as the future way of producing electricity has emerged. A fuel cell car has all the necessary devices on board to convert the chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity. This paper considers a scenario where a parking lot for fuel cell cars acts as a virtual power plant. In order to describe the...conference paper 2016

Receding-horizon control for max-plus linear systems with discrete actions using optimistic planningXu, J. (author), Busoniu, L (author), van den Boom, A.J.J. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)This paper addresses the infinite-horizon optimal control problem for max-plus linear systems where the considered objective function is a sum of discounted stage costs over an infinite horizon. The minimization problem of the cost function is equivalently transformed into a maximization problem of a reward function. The resulting optimal...conference paper 2016

Xu, J. (author), van den Boom, A.J.J. (author), Busoniu, L (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)This paper considers model predictive control for continuous piecewise affine (PWA) systems. In general, this leads to a nonlinear, nonconvex optimization problem. We introduce an approach based on optimistic optimization to solve the resulting optimization problem. Optimistic optimization is based on recursive partitioning of the feasible set...conference paper 2016
