ADAPTIVE PREDICTIVE LOAD FREQUENCY CONTROL OF A MICROGRID

This technical note presents a novel decentralized load frequency regulation for a micro grid by applying Adaptive Predictive Control (APC). An optimal load frequency controller is developed based on receding horizon. To enhance the accuracy of the optimal controller, an online adaptive mechanism that updates un modeled nonlinearities and parametric variations are included in the controller. Simulation studies have been carried out to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed controller under various operating conditions for single area and multi-area power system
