Hierarchical economic model predictive control approach for a building energy management system with scenario-driven EV charging

J Engel, T Schmitt, T Rodemann… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
To handle the increasing number of electric vehicles (EVs) and their effect on the
infrastructure, intelligent and coordinated charge management is necessary. In this paper …

Incorporating human preferences in decision making for dynamic multi-objective optimization in Model Predictive Control

T Schmitt, M Hoffmann, T Rodemann, J Adamy - Inventions, 2022 - mdpi.com
We present a new two-step approach for automatized a posteriori decision making in multi-
objective optimization problems, ie, selecting a solution from the Pareto front. In the first step …

The cost of photovoltaic forecasting errors in microgrid control with peak pricing

T Schmitt, T Rodemann, J Adamy - Energies, 2021 - mdpi.com
Model predictive control (MPC) is widely used for microgrids or unit commitment due to its
ability to respect the forecasts of loads and generation of renewable energies. However …

Regression-based model error compensation for a hierarchical MPC building energy management system

T Schmitt, J Engel, T Rodemann - 2023 IEEE Conference on …, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
One of the major challenges in the development of energy management systems (EMSs) for
complex buildings is accurate modeling. To address this, we propose an EMS, which …

I'll tell you what I want: Categorization of Pareto Fronts for Automated Rule-based Decision-Making

MK Hoffmann, T Schmitt, K Flaßkamp - IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2022 - Elsevier
The application of Pareto optimization in control engineering requires decision-making as a
downstream step since one solution has to be selected from the set of computed Pareto …
