Thermal Stress Based Model Predictive Control of Electric Drives

Approximate Predictive Control of Ac Electric Drives

This thesis deals with the development of model predictive control of ac electric drives with long prediction horizons and yet with computational cost of the algorithm comparable to conventional cascade control approaches. The basic idea is to approximate the cost to go function of dynamic programming taking into account long prediction horizon. For specific cases (linear model and quadratic co...

Model-Based Predictive Control of Electrical Drives

Model Predictive Control for Electric Vehicle Charging

In this paper we present a model predictive control algorithm for scheduling electric vehicle charging. The model accounts for distribution network constraints and seeks to minimize the cost of procuring energy from the real-time market for electric vehicle charging. We present a case study for an IEEE test case distribution system.

Motion Control for Electric Drives

This paper present a general overview of the motion control system blocks, specially that related with motor considerations and torque control. Moreover, some trends in motor control systems are also presented.

Model-Based Predictive Control

MBPC is a feedback-control methodology suitable to enforce efficiently hard constraints on the variables of the controlled system. It is shown that the method hinges upon a constrained open-loop optimal control problem along with the adoption of the so-called receding-horizon control strategy. In the important case of time-invariant linear saturated ANCBI systems, MBPC algorithms can be devised...
