(author)Rapport in opdracht van het Ministerie van Verkeer en Waterstaat, Adviesdienst Verkeer en Vervoer (AVV). De toenemende complexiteit van de regeltaak vereist de ontwikkeling van geavanceerde methodes voor het ondersteunen van de beheerstaak van operators in verkeerscentrales. Deze ondersteuning beoogt de operator in staat te stellen, het...report 2000

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

Negenborn, R.R. (author), De Schutter, B. (author), Hellendoorn, J. (author)In this report we define characteristic control design elements and show how conventional single-agent MPC implements these. We survey recent literature on multi-agent MPC and discuss how this literature deals with decomposition, problem assignment, and cooperation.report 2004

Negenborn, R.R. (author), De Schutter, B. (author), Wiering, M.A. (author), Hellendoorn, H. (author)We propose the use of Model Predictive Control (MPC) for controlling systems described by Markov decision processes. First, we consider a straightforward MPC algorithm for Markov decision processes. Then, we propose value functions, a means to deal with issues arising in conventional MPC, e.g., computational requirements and sub-optimality of...report 2005

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

Negenborn, R.R. (author), De Schutter, B. (author), Hellendoorn, J. (author)We consider the control of large-scale transportation networks, like road traffic networks, power distribution networks, water distribution networks, etc. Control of these networks is often not possible from a single point by a single intelligent control agent; instead control has to be performed using multiple intelligent agents. We consider...report 2006

Lukszo, Z. (author), Weijnen, M.P.C. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), De Schutter, B. (author), Ilic, M. (author)The need for improving the operation and control of infrastructure systems has created a demand on optimization methods applicable in the area of complex sociotechnical systems operated by a multitude of actors in a setting of decentralized decision making. This paper briefly presents main classes of optimization models applied in PSE system...report 2006

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), Hellendoorn, J. (author)We discuss an extension of a scheme recently proposed for multi-agent control of large-scale networks, like power networks, road traffic networks, water networks, etc. The original scheme uses serial sequences of agent interactions that under some assumptions make agents locally choose actions that are globally optimal. However, some weaknesses...conference paper 2007

Houwing, M. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Heijnen, P.W. (author), De Schutter, B. (author), Hellendoorn, H. (author)With an 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 households manage their own energy generation and consumption, possibly in cooperation with each other. As a...conference paper 2007

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

(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

Busoniu, L. (author), Babuska, R. (author), De Schutter, B. (author)Multiagent systems are rapidly finding applications in a variety of domains, including robotics, distributed control, telecommunications, and economics. The complexity ofmany tasks arising in these domains makes them difficult to solve with preprogrammed agent behaviors. The agents must, instead, discover a solution on their own, using learning....journal article 2008
