Techniques of Control for Energy Optimization in Actuators, Motors, and Power Generation Systems

It is common sense that an intelligent administration of energy resources represents a unique way to respect the environment and equally redistribute and reutilize resources. In today’s energy systems, control and optimization techniques and algorithms play a decisive role. In fact, energy optimization represents a crucial issue in smart-grid/micro-grid energy flow, renewable energy, electrical and hybrid vehicles, as well as in traditional engines, energy storage devices, electrical motors, and in any kind of actuator, including alternative actuators.
