Intra-day scheduling of a local energy community coordinated with day-ahead multistage decisions

The paper presents a coordinated day-ahead and intra-day approach for the scheduling of the resources in a local energy community (LEC). The considered LEC consists of a collective of power prosumers that can directly trade energy with each other in addition to the external provider. The scheduling approach is based on the alternating...

Distributed optimization for real-time railway traffic management

We introduce a distributed optimization method for improving the computational efficiency of real-time traffic management approaches for large-scale railway networks. We first decompose the whole network into a pre-defined number of regions by using an integer linear optimization approach. For each resulting region, a mixed-integer linear...

Recursive Subspace Identification with Predictive Control: a Nuclear Norm approach

The main contribution of this thesis is the development of an inherently adaptive controller which recursively implements a system identification and control routine. The main idea here, is that if system identification techniques can be made computationally light, and if they can be combined efficiently with a controller formulation, such a...
