The precise control of gas generator pressure is important to obtain variable thrust in ducted rockets. A delay resistant closed loop reference model adaptive control is proposed in this paper to address this problem. The proposed…
The growing integration of renewable energy sources into distribution networks poses significant challenges to frequency and voltage stability due to their intermittent nature and low-inertia dynamics. This paper proposes a multilevel…
Thermostatically controlled loads and electric vehicles offer flexibility to reduce power peaks in low-voltage distribution networks. This flexibility can be maximized if the devices are coordinated centrally, given some level of…
We consider the problem of using district heating systems as ancillary services for primary frequency control in power networks. We propose a novel power sharing scheme for heating systems based on the average temperature, which enables an…
We consider a network of residential heating systems in which several prosumers satisfy their heating and hot water demand using solar thermal collectors and services of a central producer. Overproduction of heat can either be stored in a…
Distribution systems are undergoing a dramatic transition from a passive circuit that routinely disseminates electric power among downstream nodes to the system with distributed energy resources. The distributed energy resources come in a…
We study the optimal control of district heating networks using a reduced order model based on a system theoretic description close to the underlying Euler equations. In the presented scenarios, the central task is to limit the maximal…
The transformation of fossil fuel-based district heating grids (DHGs) to CO$_2$-neutral DHGs requires the development of novel operating strategies. Model predictive control (MPC) is a promising approach, as knowledge about future heat…
This paper presents a passivity-based control framework for AC-DC converters supplying non-passive Information Technology rack loads in DC data centers. Unlike conventional cascaded proportional-integral controllers that ensure stability…
Heat pump and thermal energy storage (HPTES) systems, which are widely utilized in modern buildings for providing domestic hot water, contribute to a large share of household electricity consumption. With the increasing integration of…
Large-scale integration of renewables in power systems gives rise to new challenges for keeping synchronization and frequency stability in volatile and uncertain power flow states. To ensure the safety of operation, the system must maintain…
Controlling complex dynamical systems has been a topic of considerable interest in academic circles in recent decades. While existing works have primarily focused on closed-loop control schemes with infinite-time durations, this paper…
High variability of solar PV and sudden changes in load (e.g., electric vehicles and storage) can lead to large voltage fluctuations in the distribution system. In recent years, a number of controllers have been designed to optimize voltage…
In this paper, we use stochastic polynomial optimization to derive high-performance operating strategies for heating networks with uncertain or variable demand. The heat flow in district heating networks can be regulated by varying the…
In this paper an adaptive load management system that uses predictive control optimization is introduced. This price elastic system is able to optimize the consumption of power and is fully autonomous and responsive to market clearing…
This paper deals with energy management in a district where multiple buildings can communicate over a time-varying network and aim at optimizing the use of shared resources like storage systems. We focus on building cooling, and propose an…
Scalar transport (e.g. heat or chemical species) in laminar flows is key to many industrial activities and fluid stirring by flow reorientation is a common way to enhance this process. However, "How best to stir?" remains a major challenge.…
Thermostatically controlled loads such as refrigerators are exceptionally suitable as a flexible demand resource. This paper derives a decentralised load control algorithm for refrigerators. It is adapted from an existing continuous time…
This work presents a hierarchical architecture for the optimal management of an ensemble of steam generators, which needs to jointly sustain a common load. The coordination of independent subsystems is provided by a multi-layer control…
Scalable demand response of residential electric loads has been a timely research topic in recent years. The commercial coming of age or residential demand response requires a scalable control architecture that is both efficient and…
