Abstract
A metal hydride storage system (MHSS) and a method for refueling the MHSS includes obtaining a parameter vector comprising a first state of a metal hydride storage system (MHSS), and a measurable output of the MHSS; sending the parameter vector to a control algorithm, wherein the control algorithm includes a first data structure and a second data structure, wherein the first data structure corresponds to a plurality of critical regions, wherein the second data structure corresponds to a plurality of piecewise affine functions, wherein the affine functions corresponds to a control action; searching the first data structure with the parameter vector; selecting a critical region based on searching the first data structure; selecting, from the second data structure, a piecewise affine function corresponding to the selected critical region; and calculating a control action based on the affine function, where the control action comprises controlling at least one controlled parameter.
