PROJECT INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION

This project aims, on the one hand, to develop advanced tools to apply the multiobjective optimization methodology in the design of control systems for complex multivariable processes and, on the other hand, to advance in the development of multivariable controllers using multiobjective optimization, with special emphasis on model-based predictive controllers (widely used in the process industry). In addition, all results will be validated in relevant applications in various engineering fields, mainly energy and transportation. In particular, we will work on systems based on PEM fuel cells (both for static and mobile applications) and on aspects related to the search for optimal operating points, energy management in vehicles, trajectory control, etc.
