| 2025 | Deep Reinforcement Learning and Deadbeat Hybrid Control Method for Hybrid Energy Storage System Considering Nonlinear Power Loss and Model MismatchabstractHybrid energy storage system (HESS) in microgrid applications is controlled to balance the power between generation and load sides. However, power loss of converting and model parameter mismatch would affect the control performance. To this end, a deadbeat control algorithm for HESS combined with deep reinforcement learning is proposed in this article. In the proposed method, the variation of optimal HESS current reference caused by nonlinear power loss and model mismatch is regarded as a centralized disturbance that can be compensated by a deep deterministic policy gradient agent, and a deadbeat control generates an optimal duty cycle based on a precise reference current to eliminate system steady-state error and improve dynamic response speed. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through simulation and hardware experiments. Results demonstrate that the steady-state error can be maintained within 1%. Compared to conventional deadbeat control methods, the proposed method reduces the bus voltage spike and settling time by 34.24%–44.44% and 16.66%–40.00%, respectively.

| 2025 | Dynamic Energy-Aware EV Charging Navigation in Interacting Transportation and Distribution NetworksabstractWith electric vehicles (EVs) and charging facilities as a bridge, the coupling of transportation network (TN) and distribution network (DN) is getting closer, and EV charging navigation considering TN-DN convergence is a current research hotspot. In order to reduce the total cost of EV charging navigation and the impact of charging load on the grid, this paper proposes a novel bi-layer coordinated charging navigation model (Bi-CCNM). The upper layer model is to minimize the total cost of EV charging navigation. To precisely estimate travel costs, a dynamic spatio-temporal energy consumption estimation model is established, which considers the impact of dynamic traffic flow on EV travel resistance. The lower layer model aims to reduce energy exchange between the charging station (CS) and the main grid, and maximize the utilization of local renewable energy sources. To cope with the intermittent nature of renewable energy generation, this paper utilizes Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology to effectively mitigate the impact of EV charging loads on the grid. To efficiently tackle the Bi-CCNM, the Joint Optimization algorithm combining Generalized Benders Decomposition and Logarithmic Barrier Function Method (JO-GBLB) is developed. Ultimately, an optimal solution can be obtained through the interaction of information between the two layers. Real-world case validates the effectiveness of the proposed the Bi-CCNM, energy consumption estimation model, and JO-GBLB algorithm. The results indicate which it provides a low-cost charging navigation solution while significantly reducing the power exchange between the CS and the main grid, effectively preventing safety issues caused by load fluctuations. Besides, the accuracy of energy consumption estimation of EVs increases by 5.1% - 6.7%. Feixiang Jiao, Xibeng Zhang, Ning Lu 0001, Yi Zhou 0004 |

| 2023 | Fractional Order Model Predictive Control Strategy for Hybrid Energy Storage SystemabstractHybrid energy storage systems (HESS) are used to satisfy the power demand in microgrids. The supercapacitor (SC) is responsible for the high-frequency charge and discharge behaviors. For model predictive control (MPC) methods, the inaccurate modeling of the supercapacitor and control delay may cause the fluctuation of bus voltage. This paper proposes a fractional-order model predictive control (FOMPC), which provides more adjustable parameters, so it can optimize the control effect through parameter tuning. The method is validated in the simulation results. Xiaoheng Guo, Yi Zhou 0004, Xibeng Zhang |

Aiming at the problem of large estimation deviation of SOC and SOH in the whole life cycle of lithium battery, this paper proposes a multi-innovation dual Unscented Kalman Filter based on fractional-order model. Firstly, the fractional-order model of lithium battery is established and the parameters of the model are identified by a genetic algorithm. Secondly, the fractional-order multi-innovation Unscented Kalman Filter is proposed to estimate SOC, and the ohmic resistance and SOH are estimated by Unscented Kalman Filter to improve the SOC estimation accuracy in the whole life cycle. Finally, the proposed algorithm is verified by Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule(UDDS) dynamic condition data. Wei Li 0230, Yonglong Zhu, Xiaoheng Guo, Xibeng Zhang, Yi Zhou 0004 |

| 2020 | Energy Management of Islanded Interconnected Dual Community MicrogridsabstractThis paper investigates some issues associated with the power sharing in the Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS) in the Multi Micro- Grid System (MMGS) to meet the load demands. To address this problem in isolated microgrids, which often arises in emergency situations, the present study proposes an efficient energy management system (EMS) which operates the battery and supercapacitor (SC) based on their State of Charge (SOC) level using fuzzy logic based control algorithm. The optimal amount of charging/discharging of the battery and SC is decided by the fuzzy inference system (FIS) . Simulations are carried out by creating a microgrid test bench for fuzzy logic system (FLS) in MATLAB/Simulink environment. The performance of the proposed approach is validated considering different modes of operation and loading conditions and found to be satisfactory. Don Gamage, Xibeng Zhang, Abhisek Ukil, Akshya K.

| 2020 | Zero Iteration Model Predictive Control for Hybrid Energy Storage System with Dual BatteriesabstractAlthough the capability of digital microprocessors has been developed rapidly, the heavy computation burden is a challenge for the model predictive control on the applications of power electronics. This paper presents a zero iteration model predictive control (MPC) for a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) with dual batteries. A PI controller is used to predicting the closed-form battery current and control signals, which can be used for relax the constraints and find the active constants in order to obtain the solutions without iteration. The dual battery can share the power to ensure the charging/discharging behaviours are always limited to the specified active constraint.

| 2018 | Fuzzy Logic Controller for Efficient Energy Management of a PV System with HESSabstractWith the rapid demand in the power system, the renewable energy sources (RES) have led to the higher penetration in the existing main grid. The proper control strategy for energy storage systems (ESS) have received a huge attention. The ESS is critical to maintain the correct power balance between the RESs and load demand. In this research, fuzzy logic control algorithm is implemented among other existing control algorithms to operate the battery and supercapacitor (SC) based hybrid energy storage system (HESS) in an optimal way. The battery is used to compensate the energy requirement during long duration, while the supercapacitor handles mainly the transient power fluctuations. This increases the battery life cycle due to limited stress on the battery. The proposed fuzzy inference system decides the optimal amount of charging/discharging of the HESS based on the state of charge (SOC) constraints of the battery and supercapacitor. MATLAB/Simulink is used to create and implement the microgrid test bench and fuzzy logic system (FLS). The simulation results substantiate the potential of FLS in the microgrid energy management in different modes of operation and load conditions. Don Gamage, Xibeng Zhang, Abhisek Ukil |
