  • Improving Demand Response Potential of a Supermarket
    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON CONTROL SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY, VOL. XX, NO. YY, APRIL 2016 1 Improving Demand Response Potential of a Supermarket Refrigeration System: A Food Temperature Estimation Approach Rasmus Pedersen, John Schwensen, Benjamin Biegel, Torben Green, and Jakob Stoustrup. Abstract—In a smart grid the load shifting capabilities of which for example the Danish legislation is based on [6]. demand-side devices such as supermarkets are of high interest. That is despite the fact that inspections conducted by the In supermarkets this potential is represented by the ability to food administration are performed with infrared thermometers store energy in the thermal mass of refrigerated foodstuff. To harness the full load shifting potential we propose a method measuring the surface temperature of food items, and only in for estimating food temperature based on measurements of case of suspected violation is the core and air temperature evaporator expansion valve opening degree. This method requires noted [7]. The main reason for this procedure is that food no additional hardware or system modeling. We demonstrate the quality depends on food temperature and not on the current estimation method on a real supermarket display case and the temperature of air surrounding it. This demonstrates that if applicability of knowing food temperature is shown through tests on a full scale supermarket refrigeration system made available the food temperature was known, the control action could be by Danfoss A/S. The conducted application test shows that based on keeping food temperature within bounds, instead feedback based on food temperature can increase the demand of air temperature. Furthermore, there is in general a broad flexibility during a step by approx.

  • 1 Minutes of CSS Technical Committee on Smart Grids Meeting, Dec. 13, 2011, Orlando Florida
    Minutes of CSS Technical Committee on Smart Grids meeting, Dec. 13, 2011, Orlando Florida Draft; comments and corrections to Tariq Samad, [email protected] Introduction Massoud Amin called the meeting to order shortly after 4:30 p.m. local time. Attendees were asked to introduce themselves [a list of recorded meeting participants appears at the end of these minutes]. Amin thanked Eyad Abed for submitting minutes from the last meeting, held at the American Control Conference in San Francisco, June 29 – July 1, 2011. Smart grids content in recent and upcoming conferences Both the 2011 IFAC World Congress, Milan, and the IEEE CDC-ECC 2011 featured plenary addresses and invited/regular sessions on smart grids. The IFAC Symposium on Power Plant and Power Systems Control will take place in Toulouse, France, Sept. 2012. It’s still not too late to submit contributions. http://www.pppsc2012.org/. Approval of minutes from previous TC-SG meeting The minutes from the meeting of the TC during the 2011 American Control Conference, prepared by Eyad Abed, were approved (motion: Michael Polis; second: Alireza Seyedi). Smart grid vision project for CSS Anuradha Annaswamy gave an update on the smart grid vision project for control systems currently ongoing. The project has been initiated by IEEE Standards Association. The objective is to create a document that describes a long- term vision—over a 30 – 50 year horizon—for smart grids from a control perspective. The vision document would include forward-looking use cases and discussions of enabling technologies. We should consider future scenarios that are radical departures from today’s grid (for example: the future grid could comprise a conglomeration of millions of microgrids; consumers may not pay for power but for reliability).

  • Megaprojects at Aalborg University Global Challenges Are Solved Through Megaprojects
    MEGAPROJECTS AT AALBORG UNIVERSITY GLOBAL CHALLENGES ARE SOLVED THROUGH MEGAPROJECTS It’s no secret that today’s global challenges as defined in UN’s 17 global goals are interdependent. Because of this, it makes sense for Aalborg University to join forces, both inside the university and with exter- nal partners. All groups work within their own discipline and gain strong collaboration skills both in working with academic peers and people from other professions. I have great expectations for the results that will come from such ambitious goals for climate and sustainability. Innovative technological solutions will be essential − while always keeping human behaviour and needs in mind. JAKOB STOUSTRUP, PRO-DEAN FOR EDUCATION, TECHNICAL FACULTY OF IT AND DESIGN, AALBORG UNIVERSITY AT AALBORG UNIVERSITY WE LIKE PROBLEMS AND WE PARTICULARLY LIKE SOLVING THEM And we’re good at it! Therefore, we’re thrilled to start work- ing on megaprojects that involve students, teaching staff and researchers working together on solving major global challenges across faculties, departments, programmes and disciplines. I look forward to seeing the end results, and I’m confident that we will end up with an array of con- structive suggestions as to how we may help make the world a better place. INGER ASKEHAVE, PRO-RECTOR AALBORG UNIVERSITY GLOBAL CHALLENGES BEST SOLVED IN MEGAPROJECTS PBL IN A MEGA CONTEXT What does a computer scientist, a business economist and a techno-anthropologist have in common? At Aalborg University (AAU), the answer is ‘a lot’. At AAU, we know that major problems are often best solved by bringing together different people with different skills.

    © 2013 Neera Jain THERMODYNAMICS-BASED OPTIMIZATION AND CONTROL OF INTEGRATED ENERGY SYSTEMS BY NEERA JAIN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Andrew Alleyne, Chair Assistant Professor Alejandro Domínguez-García Associate Professor Dimitrios Kyritsis Associate Professor Srinivasa Salapaka Professor Jakob Stoustrup, Aalborg University Abstract With increasing worldwide demand for energy comes the need to both generate and consume energy more efficiently. Integrated energy systems (IESs) combine power generation technologies, such as internal combustion engines or fuel cells, with other technologies which directly utilize the power produced by the generator and/or utilize the thermal energy otherwise wasted in the production of power. IESs are becoming more prevalent because of their environmental, economic, and reliability benefits. However, to fully realize these benefits, effective optimization and control of IESs is required. In turn, this requires a function which can accurately capture the objectives (performance, efficiency, etc.) for the system in terms of desired decision variables. The aim of this research is to develop a systematic methodology for developing objective functions to be used in conjunction with optimal control algorithms for improving operational efficiency and performance of IESs. This is accomplished through the use of a thermodynamics- based minimization metric, exergy destruction, which is used as the foundation for deriving objective functions which are 1) physics-based, 2) generalizable to a wide class of IESs, and 3) modular with the ability to characterize not only an entire IES but also specific subsystems of a larger IES.
