no code implementations • 25 Mar 2024 • Felix Agner, Ulrich Trabert, Anders Rantzer, Janybek Orozaliev

We consider the peak flow rate reduction that could be achieved with full a posteriori knowledge of this data.

Decentralized PI-control and Anti-windup in Resource Sharing Networks

no code implementations • 1 Nov 2023 • Felix Agner, Jonas Hansson, Pauline Kergus, Anders Rantzer, Sophie Tarbouriech, Luca Zaccarian

We consider control of multiple stable first-order systems which have a control coupling described by an M-matrix.

Anti-windup coordination strategy around a fair equilibrium in resource sharing networks

This paper aims at coordinating interconnected agents where the control input of each agent is limited by the control input of others.

Hydraulic Parameter Estimation in District Heating Networks

no code implementations • 18 Nov 2022 • Felix Agner, Pauline Kergus, Richard Pates, Anders Rantzer

In this paper, a method is proposed to obtain a grey-box hydraulic model for tree-shaped district heating systems: hydraulic parameters are estimated based on pressure measurements in only two locations.

Combating District Heating Bottlenecks Using Load Control

This increases the effect of the already existing issue of hydraulic bottlenecks, causing peripheral units (customers) to experience reduced flow rates.
