Optimization of Hybrid Energy Systems Based on MPC-LSTM-KAN: A Case Study of a High-Altitude Wind Energy Work Umbrella Control System

Abstract

This paper presents an optimization method for hybrid energy systems based on Model Predictive Control (MPC), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, and Kolmogorov–Arnold Networks (KANs). The proposed method is applied to a high-altitude wind energy work umbrella control system, where it aims to enhance the stability and efficiency of energy utilization. The work umbrella system integrates wind and solar energy sources, with energy stored in a battery and used to control the umbrella’s operations. The MPC framework is employed to optimize control actions by solving a finite-horizon optimization problem, ensuring the battery State of Charge (SOC) remains within an optimal range. The LSTM network provides accurate predictions of environmental conditions, including wind speed and solar irradiance, which are essential for MPC’s decision-making process. To address complex nonlinearities in the system, the KAN is utilized to model and approximate these dynamics, refining the LSTM predictions. The integration of these advanced control strategies enables the system to handle varying operational conditions and maintain optimal performance. The case study demonstrates the effectiveness of the MPC-LSTM-KAN approach, revealing improvements in the SOC stability, energy efficiency, and operational endurance of the high-altitude wind energy work umbrella system. The results indicate that this hybrid optimization method offers a robust solution for managing hybrid energy systems in dynamic environments.
