Hierarchical and cooperative model predictive control of electrical grids by using overlapping information

Trabajo presentado a la Conference on Control Technology and Applications, celebrada en Hawai (US) del 27 al 30 de agosto de 2017.The presented study deals with hierarchical and cooperative model predictive control (MPC) of electrical grids. The aim of this study is minimizing electrical frequency deviation while ensuring power levels do not rise too much. The original system is a simply interconnected one divided in several areas and, in order to control eventually disconnected areas due to communication blackouts, an expansion of the original system to a hierarchical version of itself by overlapping original system¿s areas.This work was supported by the partnership between Keio University and UPC-ETSEIB.
