Negenborn, R.R. (author), Houwing, M. (author), De Schutter, B. (author), Hellendoorn, H. (author)With the increasing use of distributed energy resources and intelligence in the electricity infrastructure, the possibilities for minimizing costs of household energy consumption increase. Technology is moving toward a situation in which automated energy management systems could control domestic energy generation, storage, and consumption. In...conference paper 2008

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), Houwing, M. (author), De Schutter, B. (author), Hellendoorn, J. (author)With the increase in the number of distributed energy resources and the amount of intelligence in electricity infrastructures, the possibilities for minimizing costs of household energy consumption increase. Household systems are hybrid systems, in the sense that they exhibit both continuous and discrete dynamics. In this paper the mixed-logical...conference paper 2009

Hug-Glanzmann, G. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Andersson, G. (author), De Schutter, B. (author), Hellendoorn, H. (author)As power systems generally are large interconnected systems controlled by several parties, centralized optimal power flow (OPF) control taking the entire grid into account is often not feasible. To use optimal control in power systems nevertheless, the overall system is decomposed into areas with associated subproblems, which are solved in an...conference paper 2007

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

Negenborn, R.R. (author), De Schutter, B. (author), Hellendoorn, H. (author)We consider multi-agent, or distributed, control of transportation networks, like traffic, water, and power networks. These networks typically have a large geographical span, modular structure, and a large number of components that require control. We discuss the necessity of a multi-agent control setting in which multiple agents control parts...conference paper 2006

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

Tian, X. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Van Overloop, P.J.A.T.M. (author), Mostert, E. (author)In the field of operational water management, Model Predictive Control (MPC) has gained popularity owing to its versatility and flexibility. The MPC controller, which takes predictions, time delay and uncertainties into account, can be designed for multi-objective management problems and for large-scale systems. Nonetheless, a critical obstacle,...conference paper 2014

(author)Emergency voltage control problems in electric power networks have stimulated the interest for the implementation of online optimal control techniques. Briefly stated, voltage instability stems from the attempt of load dynamics to restore power consumption beyond the capability of the transmission and generation system. Typically, this situation...conference paper 2007

Negenborn, R.R. (author), De Schutter, B. (author)Water networks are large-scale systems, consisting of many interacting components. They are currently typically operated by local decentralized controllers which receive setpoints from human operators. We discuss how communication among the local controllers can be included and in particular propose the use of distributed model predictive...conference paper 2008
