Hydrogen strategy optimization for a sustainable electricity grid

This master thesis aimed to develop an optimized operating strategy for an electricity grid incorporating hydrogen storage, while considering three key performance indicators: financial costs, reliability, and sustainability. The central research question guiding this study was: "How can the electricity demand be reliably met by a system...

Optimal Control for Mixed Traffic Inter-Terminal Transport

The control of a dedicated ITT system operating human driven MTSs and AGVs can be centralized, decentralized or distributed. The objective of this research is to find which controller structure is best suited for controlling a mixed traffic ITT system. In doing so, performance differences will be reviewed to gain insight into the effect of...

Optimal Placement and Sizing of Distributed Generation

In this thesis work we solve the problem of optimal placement and sizing of distributed generation by using an original Fuzzy Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm and a Mixed Integer Linear Programming formulation of the problem. The goal of integrating Fuzzy Logic in Particle Swarm Optimization is to be able to overcome some of the...
