Abstract

This paper presents the implementation of a Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy for integration of solar PV generation with batteries on an active power distribution system, i.e. micro-grid. Here, the discrete-time finite-horizon optimal control problem associated to the MPC is presented as a non- convex optimization problem. Then, this control problem is solved by utilization of a convexification approach in an efficient approach. To test the performance of the proposed algorithm, a testbed is designed by endowing the IEEE37 test feeder with PV generation and storage capacities. Performance evaluation is carried out for different optimization horizons, different PV penetration, and solar forecasting error.
