Automated vehicles have been proposed as a way to influence traffic flow to avoid congestion and maintain a smooth traffic flow. Experiments have shown that congestion formation can be reproduced in an artificial ring road scenario. We design a model predictive controller for the ring road system assuming heterogeneous drivers and an automated vehicle for which congestion resolution and convergence to a reference speed can be shown. The driver's model captures human driving responses. A stabilizing predictive controller framework is employed under the use of a local controllability assumption connected to a local linear quadratic regulator. A case study shows the efficacy of the proposed controller and provides numerical values for the required prediction horizon, highlighting congestion resolution as well as theoretical conservativeness.

Fuel cell systems that utilize anode recirculation generally require a purge process to remove accumulated gaseous impurities from the anode recirculation system. Especially the accumulation of nitrogen leads to a decrease of the cell voltage and therefore a reduced stack efficiency. However, unconsumed hydrogen is lost during the purge process, resulting in a decrease of hydrogen utilization. Therefore, an optimal purge control can help to maximize the overall system *** order to determine and predict the influence of the purge valve opening on the system efficiency with respect to the hydrogen utilization and the stack efficiency we develop a control-oriented model of a PEMFC anode recirculation system. We then set up a model predictive purge controller and compare its performance to two standard purge strategies using the NEDC vehicle test cycle.

Hierarchical control approaches have been one of the elective methods for the optimal control of large-scale systems in the last decades. In (Petzke et al., 2018) we presented a multirate hierarchical MPC scheme for linear systems, with remarkable flexibility and scalability properties. In this paper we extend the former approach to ensembles of Hammerstein systems and we complement the method by proposing a suitable high-level optimizer. The theoretical properties are discussed in the light of the theoretical properties of the former method. Lastly, an example case study is presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

We introduce PoCET: a free and open-scource Polynomial Chaos Expansion Toolbox for Matlab, featuring the automatic generation of polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) for linear and nonlinear dynamic systems with time-invariant stochastic parameters or initial conditions, as well as several simulation tools. It offers a built-in handling of Gaussian, uniform, and beta probability density functions, projection and collocation-based calculation of PCE coefficients, and the calculation of stochastic moments from a PCE. Efficient algorithms for the calculation of the involved integrals have been designed in order to increase its applicability. PoCET comes with a variety of introductory and instructive examples. Throughout the paper we show how to perform a polynomial chaos expansion on a simple ordinary differential equation using PoCET, as well as how it can be used to solve the more complex task of optimal experimental design.

This work presents a robust MPC (Model Predictive control) approach for reserve balancing in DC microgrid systems under uncertainties like wind power and energy price variations and different types of fault events. The robust MPC algorithm considers a variable-length prediction horizon which accounts for forecasts in energy price and renewable power over one day. Furthermore, a storage system is used to increase the utility of the demands and minimize the energy costs. The algorithm is tested for multiple fault types which affect the system (line and loss of power faults).

automaticcontrol of greenhouse crop production is of great interest owing to the increasing energy and labor costs. In this work, we use two-level control, where the upper level generates suitable reference trajectories for states and control inputs based on day-ahead predictions. These references are tracked in the lower level using Nonlinear Model Predictive control (NMPC). In order to apply NMPC, a model of the greenhouse dynamics is essential. However, the complex nature of the underlying model including discontinuities and nonlinearities results in intractable computational complexity and long sampling times. As a remedy, we employ NMPC as a data generator to learn the tracking control policy using deep neural networks. Then, the references are tracked using the trained Deep Neural Network (DNN) to reduce the computational burden. The efficiency of our approach under real-time disturbances is demonstrated by means of a simulation study.
