Challenges of using model predictive control for active demand side management
Abstract
When there is a high penetration of renewables in the power system, it requires coordinated management of large numbers of distributed and demand response resources, intermittent resources to maintain the grid reliability and improve operational economics. This paper presents a hierarchical architecture design for Model Predictive Controller (MPC), and discusses the challenges encountered during the implementation of MPC for active demand side management. The two different pilot case studies show that energy savings and load shifting can be achieved by applying MPC with weather forecast and dynamic power price signals.
