Control of Thermal Management Systems for Electric Vehicles: Energy Efficiency Optimization for the Lightyear 0

Improving the energy efficiency of electric vehicles has various significant benefits, such as increasing the driving range. The Thermal Management System (TMS) plays a large role in optimizing the vehicle energy consumption and battery lifetime. In this thesis, a nonlinear Model Predictive control (MPC) strategy is presented to regulate the...

Model Predictive Control Architecture Comparison for a Power Scheduling Electric Vehicle Aggregator

Energy flexibility is the ability to change power production or consumption over time. It is required for a power system to function properly, to balance supply and demand. Currently, the largest providers of energy flexibility in the Netherlands can be found on the supply side and consist mainly out of fossil fueled power plants. As these are...
