Application Example

A Model Predictive Control energy management system for a fuel cell–powered vessel, combining an LPV-MPC design with a neural-network-based load predictor. Compared against a baseline rule-based strategy, the AI-assisted controller cut fuel cell degradation by over 60% while keeping hydrogen consumption and battery stress within bounds.
