Load Frequency Control in Microgrids using target adjusted Model Predictive Control

Model Predictive Control (MPC) has been applied in multiple ways to the Load Frequency Control problem. In this paper we illustrate and compare a target adjusted MPC to a classical MPC formulation. The target adjusted approach is also posed as optimal control law. The target adjusted MPC is an alternative formulation that incorporates the system equilibrium into the control objective. The derived alternative controller can be used as alternative to classical MPCs.
