Abstract This paper proposes a new lexicographic multi-objective model predictive control (MoMPC) scheme for constrained nonlinear systems with changing objective prioritization. The lexicographic optimization-based receding horizon optimal control problem is firstly formulated to accommodate the concern on prioritized control of multiple (economic) objectives. Then an elaborate generic function and the notion of general terminal constraints are introduced to regain feasibility of lexicographic...

Abstract Virtual power plants (VPPs) have become a driving force for the decentralized energy industry, due to their efficient management and control of distributed energy resources. Most of the operation strategies for VPPs are designed based on the day-ahead forecasts. However, the prediction errors of the renewable energy sources (RES) and loads in the power dispatch schedule can lead to a sub-optimal operation. In this paper, an adaptive and predictive energy management strategy for a real-...

Best Readings in Communications in Wireless Networked Control Wireless networked control has attracted a lot of attention from both academia and industry in the past two decades, and has become a hot topic in recent years, mainly driven by mission-critical Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications requiring closed-loop control, such as intelligent transportation, Tele-surgery, industry automation, power systems automation, and power electronics control. Specifically, a wireless netw...

MIT-Developed System Optimizes the Shape of Robots Written by AZoRoboticsDec 1 2020 So, you need a robot that climbs stairs. What shape should that robot be? Should it have two legs, like a person? Or six, like an ant? Choosing the right shape will be vital for your robots ability to traverse a particular terrain. And its impossible to build and test every potential form. But now an MIT-developed system makes it possible to simulate them and determine which design works best. You start by telli...
