Model Predictive Control for Energy Systems - Introduction
Predictive control is the discipline of feedback control where forecasts are used to change in real time the behavior of a dynamical system. Optimization-based control design is a highly requested skill from a number of industries, including energy, automotive, aerospace, process control and manufacturing. Forecasts are fundamental in the new generation of autonomous and semi-autonomous energy systems. This course covers the basic design of applied predictive control. The student will be exposed to how to apply predictive control design and analysis tools to classical and modern control problems with application to renewable energy systems including solar power plants, energy storage systems and Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HV
Topics
- To enable students to understand the basic design predictive feedback controllers for energy systems. The student will understand when and how to apply predictive control design to autonomous systems including solar power plants and HVAC.
- The student will master the basic skills needed to apply predictive control design to modern energy systems. In particular, the participant will be exposed to and develop expertise in MPC control design for energy storage, solar power plants and HVAC systems.
