Description
The framework of port-Hamiltonian (pH) systems allows to deduce structured models for physical systems from various domains. In recent work we have explored how the pH structure can be exploited in the analysis optimal control problems. Specifically, we consider the analysis of minimizing the energy supplied to the system while ensuring a set-point transition. We show that the pH structure allows to exploit the Hamiltonian structure of the optimality system in particular manner. Our findings are supported by numerical results for thermodynamic and mechanical examples.
