Abstract
In this paper, a new algorithm which is a combination of model predictive control with particle swarm optimization is presented to optimal control of constrained DC-DC power system modeled as piecewise affine. Two problems are being addressed: one is deriving the control law of constrained final time optimal control for DC_DC power system based on model predictive control over polyhedral regions and the other is using particle swarm optimization method to reduce the number of polyhedral and improve DC-DC pe
