This study presents a model predictive control (MPC) for a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) power control using a state-space prediction model. Genetic algorithms (GAs) have demonstrated their potential in finding good solutions for complex problems. However, GA in its original form lacks a mechanism for handling constraints. In this way, a method for tuning the MPC based on a novel constrained GA is proposed. In this way, the method permits a good solution for the weighing matrices with predetermined maximum requirements, such as maximum overshoot, just using the DFIG control simulation. Finally, experimental results are presented to endorse the proposed theory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
