A Stochastic Model Predictive Control Strategy for Energy Management of Series PHEV

A Stochastic Model Predictive Control Strategy for Energy Man- agement of Series PHEV

Splitting power is a tricky problem for series plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (SPHEVs) for the multi-working modes of powertrain and the hard prediction of future power request of the vehicle. In this work, we present a methodology for splitting power for a battery pack and an auxiliary power unit (APU) in SPHEVs. The key steps in this methodology are (a) developing a hybrid automaton (HA) mo...

Model Based Design approach for Implementation of PHEV Energy Management

Hardware implementation of the Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) control strategy is an important stage of the development of the vehicle electric control unit (ECU). This paper introduces Model-Based Design (MBD) approach for implementation of PHEV energy management. Based on this approach, implementation of the control algorithm on an electronic hardware is performed using automatic co...

Model Predictive Control of Distributed Energy Resources with Predictive Set-Points for Grid-Connected Operation

This paper proposes an MPC - based (model predictive control) scheme to control active and reactive powers of DERs (distributed energy resources) in a grid - connected mode (either through a bus with its associated loads as a PCC (point of common coupling) or an MG (micro - grid)). DER may be a DG (distributed generation) or an ESS (energy storage system). In the proposed scheme, the set - poin...

A Stochastic Optimization Model for Groundwater Management

A Stochastic Model for Water Resources Management

Irrigation water management is crucial for agricultural production and livelihood security in many regions and countries throughout the world. Over the past decades, controversial and conflictladen water-allocation issues among competing municipal, industrial and agricultural interests have raised increasing concerns. Particularly, growing population, varying natural conditions and shrinking wa...
