Abstract

In this paper, a photovoltaic (PV) solar energy-based microgrid was modeled. A model predictive control (MPC), featuring a linear and accurate prediction model to overcome the drawbacks of comparable control schemes, was used to regulate the current (power) in an agricultural farm. The MPC is based on a prediction model along with a cost function that defines the switching states of the voltage source inverter to ensure the stability of the system. Furthermore, to ensure maximum power point tracking, an incremental conductance (IC) technique was used owing to its simplicity. The considered system was modeled based on Matlab/Simulink, and control performance of the proposed scheme was evaluated with simulations.
