We formulate an economic optimal control problem for transport of natural gas over a large-scale transmission pipeline network under transient flow conditions. The objective is to maximize economic welfare for users of the pipeline system, who…
In several industries using pipelines to transport different products from one point to another is a common and indispensable process, especially at oil/hydrocarbon industries. Thus, optimizing the way this process is carried out must be an issue…
Power fluctuations caused by Photovoltaics (PV) prevent the penetration of large-scale PV power into the grid as it causes multiple instabilities such as frequency deviations, voltage fluctuations, and decreased output power quality. Additionally, it…
Compressed air energy storage is a new physical energy storage technology, its thermal cost reduction and energy efficiency improvement can be achieved by using model predictive control. In order to realize the temperature control of the compressed…
Centrifugal Fluid Separation technology, in particular Supersonic Gas Separation (SGS), is one of the potential technologies considered for offshore CO2 capture. SGS has advantages in terms of CAPEX, hydrocarbon losses, footprint, tonnage and power…
In integrated energy systems (IESs), traditional fixed time-interval dispatching scheme is unable to adapt to the need of dynamic properties of the transient network, demand response characteristics, dispatching time scales in energy subsystems and…
This paper presents a recent metaheuristic optimization approach of multi-verse optimizer (MVO) to design load frequency control (LFC) based model predictive control (MPC) incorporated in large multi-interconnected system. The constructed system…
In this paper, an energy management system (EMS) has been developed based on model predictive control (MPC) to optimally dispatch the power units and particularly handle the duck curve fast ramping events. The methodology is specifically developed…
The intermittent nature of solar power prevents the large-scale penetration of Photovoltaic (PV) systems in the utility grid as it causes various irregularities such as voltage fluctuations, frequency deviations, and reduced overall output power…
