The growth in renewable energy technologies will render future energy systems more complex and volatile. So advanced control strategies are required to ensure their optimal operation. For this reason, the Bioenergy 2020+ competence centre established a working group focusing on automation and control in close cooperation with the Institute of Automation and Control at TU Graz. Model-based control strategies for different renewable energy technologies, such as biomass combustion and solar thermal systems, as well as strategies for their optimal interaction will be developed in the course of the cooperation. A key part of the research focuses on developing control-oriented mathematical models for the respective processes. This means that the models reproduce the main dynamic characteristics of the processes sufficiently well but still serve as a suitable basis for controller design. Joint research projects.
