Edge Deep Learning Optimal Control (EDLOC) for Distributed Naval Energy Management with Advanced Performance Feedback Metrics
Abstract: This research aims to significantly advance the state-of-the-art for real-time , autonomous management and control of heterogenous, distributed ship power systems . As a multi-agent machinery system, Naval Power and Energy Systems (NPES) [will use advanced control strategies to coordinate distributed energy resources via Power Electronics Power Distribution Systems (PEPDS) to meet load demand while satisfying performance constraints. Despite advances in Energy Management, emerging issues in the application domain are driving a critical need for additional fundamental research on the ability to reach optimal solutions in real-time for stability in dynamic and uncertain environments.
