TL;DR: In this paper, the authors classified ship propulsion topologies into combustion, electrochemical, stored and hybrid power supply, and analyzed which control strategies can improve performance of hybrid systems for future smart and autonomous ships and concluded that a combination of torque, angle of attack, and Model Predictive Control with dynamic settings could improve performance.

TL;DR: This study provides a picture of what features have received more or less attention over the last years, bringing about potential research niches for new approaches in model-predictive control.

TL;DR: This work proposes a novel serial coordination scheme based on Lagrange theory and compares this with an existing parallel scheme and shows that the serial scheme has preferable properties compared to the parallel scheme in terms of the convergence speed and the quality of the solution.

TL;DR: Distributed model predictive control (MPC) is one of the promising control methodologies for control of large-scale systems as discussed by the authors, and it has been widely used in the literature.

TL;DR: This paper investigates to what extent domestic energy costs could be reduced with intelligent, price-based control concepts (demand response) and proposes a model-predictive control strategy aimed at demand response for more intelligent control of micro-CHP systems.
