Description
How do we get the most efficiency in energy production? Oil/gas drilling and production, photovoltaic cells, and wind turbines are plagued with dynamic instabilities or large modeling uncertainties that make them operate considerably below their maximal physically feasible efficiency. The field of feedback control systems is the hidden enabler of many technologies that use sensors, actuators, and sophisticated control algorithms to achieve stable operation of systems at their peak efficiency levels in spite of large modeling uncertainties and unmeasurable disturbances. Professor Krstic will review several design tools for control and optimization in petroleum, solar, and wind energy systems. Those tools come from the fields of extremum seeking and control of systems modeled by partial differential equations.Miroslav Krstic
