Economic Model Predictive Control for the Demand Side Management of Residential Microgrids

Traditional electric power systems with large centralized base load power plants have a limited ability to react rapidly to the high supply variability associated with the increasing deployment of variable and intermittent renewable energy sources (RESs). Furthermore, with current power distribution networks primarily designed for unidirectional...

A network-wide control method for freeways

At this moment, dynamic traffic management measures are mostly focused on local level. This can result in local improvements but decreasing network performances. To optimize the network performances by the implementation of DTM measures, an optimization method is required. Model predictive control (MLP) is a network-wide and dynamic optimization...
