Abstract
A control system is disclosed with a control strategy for autonomous multi-bus hybrid microgrids based on Finite-Control-Set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC). The control loops are expedited by predicting the future states and determining the optimal control action before switching signals are sent to converters/inverters. The method eliminates PI and PWM components, and offers 1) accurate PV maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and battery charging/discharging control, 2) DC and AC bus voltage/frequency regulation, and 3) precise and flexible power sharing control among multiple DERs.
