The rise of building-integrated photovoltaics and distributed electric vehicle charging has led to significant phase imbalances in utility grids, challenging service providers due to limited behind-the-meter visibility. This paper introduces a novel Single-Cell Three-Phase (SC-TP) Energy Router (ER) that accesses all phases and balances them without the complexities and costs associated with conve...Show More
The burgeoning trend of integrating renewable energy harvesters into the grid introduces critical issues for its reliability and stability. These issues arise from the stochastic and intermittent nature of renewable energy sources. Data-driven forecasting tools are indispensable in mitigating these challenges with their rugged performance. However, tools relying solely on data-driven methods often...Show More
Forecasting errors in power markets, even as small as 1%, can have significant financial implications. However, even high-performance artificial intelligence (AI) based electricity price forecasting (EPF) models have instances when their prediction error is much higher than those shown by mean performance metrics. To date, explainable AI has been used to enhance the model transparency and trustwor...Show More
The performance of linear-quadratic regulators (LQRs), which possess robustness with guaranteed levels of gain and phase margin, will be affected by incomplete state information. By furnishing this regulator with a linear-quadratic estimator (LQE), a recursive algorithm with an optimal feedback law can be obtained.

The paper addresses the problem of transforming single-output nonlinear state equations affine in disturbance into an extended observer form whose nonlinear injection part depends additionally on the derivatives of the output up to a finite order. Moreover, the considered form is affine in disturbance. Based on the earlier results a detailed algorithm is given and applied to the model of a synchro...Show More
Accurate forecast of electricity demand is an important problem in the energy domain.

Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method that allows to predict of electricity demand in administrative buildings relying ...Show More
The real estate sector has a dramatic impact on global carbon dioxide emissions, approximately 70% of the emissions are produced by or are due to building operations.

In the development of linear quadratic regulator (LQR) algorithms, the Riccati equation approach offers two important characteristics —it is recursive and readily meets the existence condition. However, these attributes are applicable only to transformed singular systems, and the efficiency of the regulator may be undermined if constraints are violated in nonsingular versions. To address this gap,...Show More

Each graph node includes a local data set consisting of the ...Show More
While model predictive control (MPC) is widely used in the process industry for its ability to handle constraints and address complex dynamics, its conventional formulations often encounter challenges when dealing with descriptor systems.
