Hierarchical MPC for Energy Management of Multi-Energy Systems: Case Study Based on a Power-to-X Concept

All over Europe, the expansion of renewable energy sources is quickly proceeding, fueled by environmental and political motives. The power generated by renewables is heavily subject to the intermittency of the source, e.g. the availability of wind or solar irradiance. Consequently, electrical grids that rely on renewable sources alternate...

A Precision RC-locked Oscillator

In this thesis, the development and implementation of a new precision RC-locked oscillator topology suitable for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is described. The objective of this thesis was to investigate the performance of the proposed topology and to compare this with the state-of-the-art in terms of accuracy and power consumption. The new...
