Model predictive control of two area power system with superconducting magnetic energy storage system

Abstract

This work focuses on the incorporation of modelpredictive control based superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) within a two-area power system. In our work incorporation of governor dead band as well as generation rate constraint is taken into account. We have incorporated a custom made general self-tuning model predictive controller for single-input single output (SISO) system. Every area of power system is connected via this block. Which is further incorporated with the SMES. Simulation studies carried out in Matlab Simulink environment reflect significant improvement in frequency response and tie-power deviation of the system. The SMES current and power response is also depicted.
