MIMO-MPC Based Coordinated Load Frequency Control Considering the SOC of Battery and EV

With the rising integration of renewable energy sources, modern microgrids face the issue of decreasing inertia, rendering them more vulnerable against active power imbalances. Although numerous studies have aimed to address this issue by combining various power sources such as turbine generator, battery and electric vehicle (EV) fleet, the development of a coordinated controller remains a challenging task. In this regard, this study proposes a multi-input multi-output model predictive control-based approach to satisfy the load frequency control requirements, fully exploit the flexibility of EV fleet, and meet the state-of-charge demands of both the battery and EV fleet. The effectiveness of the proposed controller has been demonstrated through simulation results.
