Description
Summary:Minimum-energy control problems for various electric propulsion vehicles are formulated and solved using modern control theory and systems engineering techniques. Analytical results are obtained by making several simplifications and approximations in the dynamical equations of each system whose performance index is related to the minimization of the system energy consumption for a required control action. An attempt is made to implement the resulting control laws using the current engineering practice.
