Model Predictive Frequency Control Employing Stability Constraints (1405.6744v1)

Abstract: In this article a model predictive control (MPC) based frequency control scheme for energy storage units was derived, focusing on the incorporation of stability constraints based on Lyapunov theory and the concept of passivity. The proposed control schemes, guaranteeing closed-loop stability, are applied on a one-area and two-area power system. For the two-area power system, a coordinated (centralized) control and an uncoordinated (decentralized) control approach is conducted. The stability properties of the different MPC setups were derived, implemented and simulated. Furthermore the corresponding control performance was analyzed.
