Aims and Scope

This course aims to introduce students into the concepts of modeling and optimization of systems, allowing them to acquire skills on the identification of equations of state, the identification of optimization criteria and the selection of algorithmic optimization methods, moving from verbal to numeric variables, modeling and optimization of systems with fuzzy logic. 

Course Description 

Theory: The modeling of systems. Modeling diagram links with causality. Optimization methods. Linear and dynamic programming. Applications in energy systems. Simulation and optimization of energy policy. Fuzzy logic. Optimization models with fuzzy logic. Simulation and evaluation of models.

Laboratory: The laboratory part of the course includes the use of Matlab Simulink and Fuzzy Logic toolbox for the simulation and optimization systems. 

Expected Course Outcome

After the end of the course students will be able to:

 

  • To derive the equations that simulate a system
  • Specify the criteria for optimization
  • To apply the appropriate optimization method
  • To express numeric variables with verbal variable
  • To design simulation rules and apply optimization with fuzzy logic
