Modules

Prerequisites

Contents

The module consists of lectures and exercises in combination with a final study project. In the module, the following topics are addressed for Power-to-X, Storage and X-to-Power Systems: • Dynamic modular modeling • Optimal control methods, especially model predictive control and reinforcement learning • Optimal operation control • Provision of ancillary services

Learning outcomes

On the completion of this module, students should be able to: • Develop, use and assess dynamic models of Power-to-X, Storage and X-to-Power Systems • Understand core concepts from optimal control • Design controllers to optimize the plant operation

Assessment

• Study project, corresponding to 40% of the final mark. Each group (3-4 students) should submit a report (10-15 pages) containing their developments and outcomes of the study project. Project updates have to be reported on a weekly or bi-weekly basis from the starting date of the project. • Written exam, corresponding to 60% of the final mark. Duration of 80 minutes. Printed and written materials like scripts or books are allowed. For calculations, non-programmable calculators are allowed. Any other type of electronic device is NOT allowed.
