However, the fluctuating nature of renewable generation subjects these systems to dynamic operating conditions, creating significant challenges for control, efficiency, and long-term durability. As a member of the Helmholtz Association with some 7,600 employees, we conduct interdisciplinary research into a digitalized society, a climate-friendly energy system, and a sustainable economy. Coupled with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, rSOC systems play an important role in future sustainable energy infrastructures. In previous projects, a detailed dynamic model of the system was developed based on first-principle (white-box) approaches. While such models provide valuable insight, advanced model-based control methods such as Model Predictive Control (MPC) are often limited by discrepancies between the nominal and the actual system behavior.
