The 63rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC) will be held in Milan, Italy, from December 16th to 19th, 2024. COER Research Fellow Siyuan Zhan is co-organising a special session on ‘Unconventional Control Problems in Net-Zero Carbon Systems’ together with Yao Zhang, Wen-Hua Chen, and John Ringwood.

With increasing global concerns about climate change and energy security, recent decades have witnessed substantial growth in the development of net-zero carbon systems. Control can play a critical role in enhancing functionality and/or increasing economic performance. Nevertheless, many unconventional control problems arise from net-zero carbon systems, where the primary task is not to regulate to a setpoint or track a reference signal, but to optimize high-level goals such as productivity, energy production, and energy consumption. This creates new challenges for the control community.
Motivated by the above facts, this invited session is devoted to control development in the related area, including but not limited to (1) economic model predictive control, (2) disturbance preview control, (3) non-causal optimal control, (4) goal-oriented control, (5) environment modelling and prediction, (6) adaptive dynamic programming.
