Load Frequency Control and Real-Time Pricing with Stochastic Model Predictive Control

We developed a load frequency control system with stochastic model predictive control (SMPC) for power systems where the market penetration of wind power generation is high. The controller adjusts the electricity price for heat pump water heaters while at the same time controlling thermal power plan...

Description
Summary:We developed a load frequency control system with stochastic model predictive control (SMPC) for power systems where the market penetration of wind power generation is high. The controller adjusts the electricity price for heat pump water heaters while at the same time controlling thermal power plants and batteries in order to maintain the frequency in the designated range. We propose an approach for solving SMPC problems on Hammerstein models including affine disturbance feedback parametrization. Simulation results show that SMPC with affine disturbance feedback parametrization outperforms both SMPC without parametrization and deterministic model predictive control in terms of the stage-cost and constraint violation.
