    We analyze the structure of the Euler-Lagrange conditions of a lifted long-horizon optimal control problem. The analysis reveals that the conditions can be solved by using block Gauss-Seidel schemes and we prove that such schemes can be implemented by solving sequences of short-horizon problems. The analysis also reveals that a receding-horizon control scheme is equivalent … Read more

    We present an on-line management strategy for photovoltaic-hydrogen (PV-H2) hybrid energy systems. The strategy follows a receding-horizon principle and exploits solar radiation forecasts and statistics generated through a Gaussian process model. We demonstrate that incorporating forecast information can dramatically improve the reliability and economic performance of these promising energy production devices. ArticleDownload View PDF
