Welcome to the IIT Advanced Energy Control Laboratory (AECL)
The AECL studies the dynamics and control of energy production with a focus on vehicle powertrain systems including engines that leverage alternative fuels and advanced combustion strategies, hybrid technologies and hydrogen fuel cell stacks. Researchers in this lab focus on applying state-of-the-art control methods, including nonlinear, optimal and robust control strategies, to complex energy systems.
