Patent attributes
An automated control system to control at least some operations of one or more target physical systems that each includes one or more batteries. The described techniques may include determining whether and how much power to supply for each of a series of time periods, and implementing the determined power amount for a time period by determining and setting one of multiple impedance level control values of an associated actuator component. Repeated automated operations of this type may include using parametric linear approximation to determine one of multiple enumerated control values that best satisfies one or more defined goals at a given time in light of current state information (e.g., current output from the battery, voltage from the battery, battery temperature, etc.), such as by repeatedly determining an improved distribution function over the control values, and propagating it over multiple future time periods.
