Abstract:This paper presents the modeling strategies of a micro-grid to control the power supply of a battery bank by adopting a Model Predictive Controller (MPC). The grid was sized to light two tennis courts at a university sports complex, which is not connected to the national power grid and thus must be a stand-alone setup. The paper starts with an introduction that defines the statement of purpose and the state of the art. Then continue with the power generators and storage modeling: photovoltaic (PV) modules, win… Show more
