Distributed control schemes have transformed frequency and voltage regulation into a local task in distributed generators (DGs) rather than by a central secondary controller. A distributed scheme is based on information ...

This study introduces a framework for distributed model predictive control (MPC) based on dynamic games, where centralised and decentralised control algorithms can be viewed as dynamical games with coupled control sets. ...

An active power filter implemented with three single-phase Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) converters is presented and analyzed. The proposed active power filter is aimed to compensate current harmonics and reactive power in ...

As the smart grid evolves, it requires increasing distributed intelligence, optimization and control. Model predictive control (MPC) facilitates these functionalities for smart grid applications, namely: microgrids, smart ...

This paper presents the design and evaluation of a fuzzy predictive controller for a distributed solar collector (DSC) plant. A Takagi and Sugeno (T&S) fuzzy model of the DSC plant is identified and used for characterizing ...

Metros are the principal means of public transportation in many of the world's cities. Expanding metro infrastructure is costly, however, and at a certain point becomes unsustainable. When this occurs, the only feasible ...

Microgrids are the cornerstone for a new model of electrical generation based on renewable resources. Commonly microgrids are controlled with a centralised hierarchical structure, which is inherited from power systems. ...
