Gestión Óptima de la Energía en Microrredes con Generación Renovable

Abstract: This paper deals with some issues related to optimal operation of microgrids, which are a group of loads, generators and energy storage systems that can be managed isolated or connected to the main grid, in a coordinated way in order to reliably supply electricity. The control problems and solution are addressed both for optimal dispatch and for the integration of the microgrid in the electricity market. Development of Model Predictive Controllers are presented for case studies that include several renewable sources (photovoltaic and wind) as well as hybrid storage using hydrogen. Some experimental results for a demonstration microgrid are presented, as well as simulations of scheduling in the electricity market. The results indicate that development of the appropriate controllers will allow a competitive participation of renewable energy in the new model of the electrical system.

Metodología para la Obtención de Modelos Semifísicos de Base Fenomenológica Aplicada a una Sulfitadora de Jugo de Caña de Azúcar

Abstract: This work presents the Phenomenological Based Semi-physical Model (PBSM) as a useful tool for the design, control and optimization of chemical and bio-technology processes. First, a detailed description of a methodology to obtain a PBSM based on the knowledge of the basic principles of the process: mass, energy and momentum conservation, as well as gradient principle for obtaining model constitutive equations. The described methodology is applied to the clarification stage of a sugar cane refining plant. Specifically, the sulfitation tower is modelled step by step. The model is simulated and validated by comparing its behaviour with data taken from a real sulfitation tower.

Muestreo, Control y Comunicación Basados en Eventos

Abstract: Los sistemas de control periodicos o activados por tiempo han dominado casi de manera exclusiva la investigacion en ingenieria de control. El control basado en eventos es una alternativa muy prometedora particularmente cuando se consideran sistemas con capacidades reducidas de computacion y de comunicacion. En un sistema de control basado en eventos es la ocurrencia de un evento, en lugar del paso del tiempo lo que decide cuando se debe efectuar el muestreo. En este trabajo se presenta una revision panoramica de la situacion actual del campo de los sistemas de muestreo basados en eventos. Se presentan los principales esquemas de muestreo basados en eventos y se analizan las diferentes estrategias de diseno de controladores que funcionan con este tipo de muestreo. Finalmente se analiza la implicacion que tendra su aplicacion en el campo de los nuevos sistemas de control en red.

Un Enfoque Aplicado del Control Inteligente

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to show how intelligent control can solve real control problems. Several complex control applications are described. Intelligent techniques, in some cases combined with classical controllers, are applied and have been proved successful for these applications. These developments have been carried out by the people of the ISCAR (System Engineering, Control, Automation and Robotics) Research Group, at the Complutense University of Madrid.

Control Predictivo: Pasado, Presente y Futuro

Abstract: El control predictivo basado en modelo (Model Predictive Control, MPC ) se ha desarrollado considerablemente en las ultimas decadas tanto en la industria como en la comunidad de investigacion. Este exito se debe a que el Control Predictivo basado en Modelo es quizas la forma mas general de formular el problema de control en el dominio del tiempo. El control predictivo integra control optimo, control de procesos con tiempos muertos, procesos multivariables y utiliza las referencias futuras cuando estan disponibles. Al utilizar una estrategia con horizonte de control finito permite la consideracion de restricciones y procesos no lineales. Este articulo describe el control predictivo y sus posibilidades y pretende actuar como motivacion para su utilizacion.
