Abstract

We propose a parametrized Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach for optimal operation of microgrids. The parametrization expresses the control input as a function of the states, variables, and parameters. In this way, it is possible to apply an MPC approach by optimizing only the parameters and not the inputs. Moreover, the value of the binary control variables in the model is assigned according to parametrized heuristic rules, thus obtaining a formulation for the optimization problem that is more scalable compared to standard approaches in the literature. Furthermore, we propose a control scheme based on one single controller that uses two different sampling times and prediction models. By doing so, we can include both fast and slow dynamics of the system at the same level. This control approach is applied to an operational control problem of a microgrid, which includes local loads, local production units, and local energy storage systems and results show the effectiveness of the proposed appro.
