Benchmarking the operation of a hydro power network through the application of agent-based model predictive controllers

چکیده
This paper presents a comparison between a decentralized and a distributed model-based predictive controller on a hydro power valley (HPV) benchmark recently proposed. The HPV is composed by three lakes and a river that is divided in six reaches that terminate with dams equipped with turbines for power production. The lakes and the river reaches are connected in three different ways: by a duct, ducts equipped with a turbine, and ducts equipped with a pump and a turbine. The river is fed by upstream inflows and tributary flows. In order to test the controllers, the following test scenario is considered: the power output of the system should follow a given reference while keeping the water levels in the lakes and at the dams as constant as possible. Finally, a 24 hour simulation for the two controllers has been carried out in order to compare both methods using several performance indices.

This paper proposes an MPC - based (model predictive control) scheme to control active and reactive powers of DERs (distributed energy resources) in a grid - connected mode (either through a bus with its associated loads as a PCC (point of common coupling) or an MG (micro - grid)). DER may be a DG (distributed generation) or an ESS (energy storage system). In the proposed scheme, the set - poin...

The study of the battery charge process as the only power storage agent in off-grid systems is of significant importance. The battery charge process has different modes, and the battery in these modes is dependent on the amount of charge. In order to charge the battery in off-grid systems, two charge controllers including Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) are c...
