Large problems are not necessarily hard: A case study on distributed NMPC paying off

Gösta Stomberg, Maurice Raetsch, Alexander Engelmann +1

A key motivation in the development of Distributed Model Predictive Control (DMPC) is to accelerate centralized Model Predictive Control (MPC) for large-scale systems. DMPC has the…

Approximations for Optimal Experimental Design in Power System Parameter Estimation

Xu Du, Alexander Engelmann, Timm Faulwasser +1

This paper is about computationally tractable methods for power system parameter estimation and Optimal Experiment Design (OED). Here, the main motivation is that OED has the poten…

Distributed Control of Charging for Electric Vehicle Fleets under Dynamic Transformer Ratings

Micah Botkin-Levy, Alexander Engelmann, Tillmann Mühlpfordt +2

Due to their large power draws and increasing adoption rates, electric vehicles (EVs) will become a significant challenge for electric distribution grids. However, with proper char…
