We propose a fast inverse modeling technique, based on the optimal control theory, to reconstruct a two-dimensional (2D) laminar flow in water networks. To determine the boundary control velocities, we minimize a data misfit functional. Using a priori information on the boundary velocity shape, it enables us to employ a moderate number of velocity ...
Optimal control techniques can actively maximize buildings efficiency by a smarter HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and AirConditioning) systems operation. All these techniques involve a model of the controlled system and an optimization process based on a cost function. The main difficulty with these methods is to find an accurate model of a system with...
A two-dimensional (2D) concentration field may be reconstructed using inverse advection-diffusion-reaction based on pointwise sensor outputs. The studied reconstruction process consists in defining fictitious boundaries and identifying the optimal concentrations on these boundaries that minimize the data misfit. The minimization is performed by mea...
Hybrid vehicle control strategies are algorithms devoted to the energy management. At each sampling time they choose the powertrain operating point in order to minimize a criterion, usually the fuel consumption. In simulation, an optimization algorithm can be derived from the minimum principle. For real time control, a Model Predictive Control sche...
