Power Estimation and Optimal Work-Charging Scheduling of Construction Electric Vehicles via Mobile Charging Stations
Avik Ghosh, Akın Taşcıkaraoğlu, Daniela Rojas +8
Construction electric vehicles (CEVs) are a promising clean alternative to diesel-powered construction equipment, but their adoption is constrained by sparse onsite charging infras…
Baseline-improved Economic Model Predictive Control for Optimal Microgrid Dispatch
Avik Ghosh, Adil Khurram, Jan Kleissl +1
As opposed to stabilizing to a reference trajectory or state, Economic Model Predictive Control (EMPC) optimizes economic performance over a prediction horizon, making it particula…
Optimal SVI-Weighted PSPS Decisions with Decision-Dependent Outage Uncertainty
Ryan Greenough, Kohei Murakami, Jan Kleissl +1
Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) are a pre-emptive strategy to mitigate the wildfires caused by power system malfunction. System operators implement PSPS to balance wildfire mit…
Adaptive Relaxation based Non-Conservative Chance Constrained Stochastic MPC
Avik Ghosh, Cristian Cortes-Aguirre, Yi-An Chen +2
Chance constrained stochastic model predictive controllers (CC-SMPC) trade off full constraint satisfaction for economical plant performance under uncertainty. Previous CC-SMPC wor…
Economic MPC with an Online Reference Trajectory for Battery Scheduling Considering Demand Charge Management
Cristian Cortes-Aguirre, Yi-An Chen, Avik Ghosh +2
Monthly demand charges form a significant portion of the electric bill for microgrids with variable renewable energy generation. A battery energy storage system (BESS) is commonly…
Wildfire Risk Metric Impact on Public Safety Power Shut-off Cost Savings
Ryan Greenough, Kohei Murakami, Jan Kleissl +1
Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) are a proactive strategy to mitigate fire hazards from power system infrastructure failures. System operators employ PSPS to deactivate portions…
