Abstract
In this paper, a centralized model predictive control (MPC) is applied on a group of interconnected microgrids (MGs) with the main grid. The objective is to maximize the benefits for all the elements constituting the MGs in addition to the benefits of the main grid. The application of MPC in our study needs a forecasting information about energy prices, production power, and loads. The algorithm is tested on five interconnected MGs connected to the main grid. Results have shown the performance of the proposed algorithm, especially for the benefits of MG owners, the coordination between MGs while respecting of the constraints related to each one of them.
