A Control Co-Design Framework to Optimize Sustainability with Application to Microgrid-Driven Data Centers
Tania Rifat Jahan, Donald J. Docimo
This work studies the optimization of physical plant characteristics and controller parameters for sustainability. Environmental sustainability is strongly correlated with the deve…
Graph-Based Modeling, Control, and Optimization for Multi-Domain and Multi-Timescale Energy Systems
Joseph M. Pisani, Christopher T. Aksland, Philip M. Renkert +7
Modern energy systems in vehicles and built infrastructure are governed by high-dimensional dynamics spanning multiple physical domains (e.g., electrical, thermal, mechanical) and…
A Control-Oriented Framework for Coupling Physics-Based and Data-Driven Models
Leeroy Makusha, Preston Abadie, Donald J. Docimo
Design, control, and estimation for dynamic systems require accurate and analytically tractable models. However, modern engineered systems contain components that are described wit…
Optimization of Phase Change Material Integration for Active Cooling Control
Asmaou S. Ouedraogo, Donald J. Docimo
This paper presents a unified optimization framework for phase change material (PCM) based cooling systems. Thermal management is critical in applications such as photovoltaic (PV)…
A Control Co-Design Framework to Achieve Solution Feasibility in Energy System Optimization Problems
Tania Rifat Jahan, Donald J. Docimo
This work explores methods to identify energy system designs for infeasible control co-design optimization problems. Control co-design, or CCD, has been recognized as a powerful to…
