Optimal Scheduling of Combined Heat and Power Generation Considering Heating Grid Dynamics

As the share of renewable generation increases in electric grids, the traditionally heat driven operation of combined heat and power plants (CHPs) reaches its limits. Thermal storage is required for a flexible operation of CHPs. This work proposes three novel methods to use a heating grid as thermal storage by exploiting its thermal dynamics. These include the first approach proving global optimality, a novel linear formulation of grid dynamics and an easily real world applicable approach.

Dynamic Incentives for Optimal Control of Competitive Power Systems

This work presents a real-time dynamic pricing framework for future electricity markets. Deduced by first-principles analysis of physical, economic, and communication constraints within the power system, the proposed feedback control mechanism ensures both closed-loop system stability and economic efficiency at any given time. The resulting price signals are able to incentivize competitive market participants to eliminate spatio-temporal shortages in power supply quickly and purposively.

Automated Model Generation and Observer Design for Interconnected Systems : A Port-Hamiltonian Approach

This work addresses the automated generation of physical-based models and model-based observers. We develop port-Hamiltonian methods, which for the first time allow a complete and consistent automation of these two processes for a large class of interconnected systems.

Guaranteed Verification of Dynamic Systems

This work introduces a new specification and verification approach for dynamic systems. The introduced approach is able to provide type II error free results by definition, i.e. there are no hidden faults in the verification result. The approach is based on Kaucher interval arithmetic to enclose the measurement in a bounded error sense. The developed methods are proven mathematically to provide a reliable verification for a wide class of safety critical systems.

Limited Information Shared Control and its Applications to Large Vehicle Manipulators

This work focuses on the Limited Information Shared Control and its controller design using potential games. Through the developed systematic controller design, the experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of this concept compared to traditional manual and non-cooperative control approaches in the application of large vehicle manipulators.

Transactive Control of Coupled Electric Power and District Heating Networks

Der Entwurf von Ansätzen zur marktbasierten Betriebsführung zukünftiger Energienetze steht vor der technischen Herausforderung, eine enorme Anzahl von Netzteilnehmern zeitlich und örtlich zu koordinieren, um Erzeugung und Verbrauch auszugleichen und einen sicheren Netzbetrieb zu ermöglichen. Um dieser Herausforderung zu begegnen entstand das Forschungsfeld der Transactive Control Ansätze. In dieser Arbeit wird ein neuer Transactive Control Ansatz für gekoppelte Strom- und Wärmenetze vorgestellt. - The design of approaches for future market-based energy network operation faces the technical challenge of needing to coordinate a vast number of network participants spatially and temporally, in order to balance energy supply and demand, while achieving secure network operation. To meet this challenge, the research field of transactive control emerged. Within this work a new transactive control approach for coupled electric power and district heating networks is presented.

Human-Machine Cooperative Decision Making

The research reported in this thesis focuses on the decision making aspect of human-machine cooperation and reveals new insights from theoretical modeling to experimental evaluations: Two mathematical behavior models of two emancipated cooperation partners in a cooperative decision making process are introduced. The model-based automation designs are experimentally evaluated and thereby demonstrate their benefits compared to state-of-the-art approaches.

Dynamical Modeling and Control of Multiphase Heat Transport Systems Based on Loop Heat Pipes

Effective heat transport systems in aerospace are based on multiphase loop heat pipes (LHPs). For a precise thermal control of the electronics, electrical heaters are additionally used to control the operating temperature of the LHP. This work focusses on the dynamical modeling and model-based control design for LHP-based heat transport systems. The results of this work can be used for the optimization of current control parameters and the efficient control design for future LHP applications.

Inverse Dynamic Game Methods for Identification of Cooperative System Behavior

This work addresses inverse dynamic games, which generalize the inverse problem of optimal control, and where the aim is to identify cost functions based on observed optimal trajectories. The identified cost functions can describe individual behavior in cooperative systems, e.g. human behavior in human-machine haptic shared control scenarios.
