Minimax Model Predictive Operation Control of Microgrids

چکیده
Due to the steady growth of decentralised distributed generation, the operational management of small, local electricity networks (microgrids) is becoming an increasing challenge to meet: How to provide an operational control for microgrids with a high share of renewable energy sources (RES) that is robust to perturbations? In this paper we address an optimal control problem (OCP) that maintains all of the stated properties in the presence of an uncertain load and RES infeed in islanded operation. Assuming that the uncertainty is within a bounded region along a given load and RES trajectory prediction, the problem is posed as a worst-case hybrid OCP, where the RES output can be curtailed. We propose a minimax (MM) model predictive control (MPC) scheme that adjusts according to the present uncertainty and can be formulated as a mixed-integer linear program (MILP) and solved numerically online.

Model Predictive Control of Distributed Energy Resources with Predictive Set-Points for Grid-Connected Operation
This paper proposes an MPC - based (model predictive control) scheme to control active and reactive powers of DERs (distributed energy resources) in a grid - connected mode (either through a bus with its associated loads as a PCC (point of common coupling) or an MG (micro - grid)). DER may be a DG (distributed generation) or an ESS (energy storage system). In the proposed scheme, the set - poin...

Decentralized control strategies are popular candidates in microgrids control because of their reliability and performance. Conventionally, droop control (as a main decentralized strategy) is been utilized in order to prevent permanent droop of voltage and frequency after change in loads and also to share generated power between distributed generation units. In this paper, a new droop control s...

Any proper operation could be translated as a constrained optimization problem inside a WWTP, whose nonlinear behavior renders its control problems quite attractive for performance of multivariable optimization–based control technique algorithms, such as NMPC. The main advantage of this control technique lies in its ability to handle model nonlinearity as well as various types of constraints on...

In this work, we propose a hierarchical distributed model predictive control strategy to operate interconnected microgrids (MGs) with the goal of increasing the overall infeed of renewable energy sources. In particular, we investigate how renewable infeed of MGs can be increased by using a transmission network allowing the exchange of energy. To obtain an model predictive control scheme which i...

In recent years, microgrids, i.e., disconnected distribution systems, have received increasing interest from power system utilities to support the economic and resiliency posture of their systems. The economics of long distance transmission lines prevent many remote communities from connecting to bulk transmission systems and these communities rely on off-grid microgrid technology. Furthermore,...
