For an optimal control problem, one seeks to optimize a performance measure subject to a
set of dynamic, and possibly algebraic, constraints. The dynamic constraints may be …

The control parameterization method is a popular numerical technique for solving optimal
control problems. The main idea of control parameterization is to discretize the control space …

In this study, two control strategies involving 'continuous' and 'ON/OFF'operation of the diesel
generator in the solar photovoltaic (PV)‐wind‐diesel‐battery hybrid systems are modelled …

In this paper, two control strategies involving “continuous” and “ON/OFF” operation of the
diesel generator in the solar photovoltaic–diesel–battery hybrid systems are modeled. The …

In this paper, we consider an optimal control problem in which the control takes values from
a discrete set and the state and control are subject to continuous inequality constraints. By …

A switched system is a dynamic system that operates by switching between different
subsystems or modes. Such systems exhibit both continuous and discrete characteristics—a …

For a sustainable and clean electricity production in isolated rural areas, renewable
energies appear to be the most suitable and usable supply options. Apart from all being …

This paper proposes a new heuristic approach for solving optimal discrete‐valued control
problems. We illustrate the approach with an existing hybrid power system model. The …

This paper presents a computational approach for optimizing a class of hybrid systems in
which the state dynamics switch between two distinct modes. The times at which the mode …

The optimal design and operation of hybrid power systems used in remote area
electrification are difficult tasks due to a large variety of location specific factors. Several …
