Reinforcement Learning Based PID Control of Wind Energy Conversion Systems

In this paper an adaptive PID controller for Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) has been developed. Theadaptation technique applied to this controller is based on Reinforcement Learning (RL) theory. Nonlinearcharacteristics of wind variations as plant input, wind turbine structure and generator operational behaviordemand for high quality adaptive controller to ensure both robust stability an...

Control and Management of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems: Review and Comparison of Methods

Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) have been introduced to overcome intermittent nature of single-source renewable energy generation. In order to utilize HRES optimally, two issues must be considered: optimal sizing and optimal operation. The first issue has been considered vastly in several articles but the second one needs more attention and work. The performance of hybrid renewable energ...

Classroom Lighting Control Systems and Level of Energy Consumption, Tehran, Iran

Buildings play an important role in the energy demand sector. Due to the increase of environmentalconcerns and renewable energy sources restriction, lighting control systems will play an important role in the reductionof energy consumption of the lighting without impeding comfort goals. Lighting control systems can control lightingconsumption according to the type of building, adequate luminanc...

Dynamic Tools to Control Complex Systems

The idea of complex sequencing is strongly related to scheduling and real time systems. It appears when a resource has to be shared by more than one user or when a job must be handled by some concurrent entities. The originality of our research is mainly to build a dynamic link between a scheduling solution and a simulation approach based on Petri Nets (PN). This paper addresses with the modeli...

Co-simulation Tools for Networked Control Systems

In this paper, we argue that simulation of Networked Control Systems (NCSs) needs to be carried out through co-simulation, which requires the joint and simultaneous simulation of both physical and communication networks dynamics. Co-simulation enables construction of synthetic large-scale networks and workloads, replay of collected traces, and obtaining a complete snapshot of both the network b...
