Load-frequency control in microgrids using target-adjusted MPC

Model predictive control (MPC) has been applied in multiple ways to the load-frequency control problem. In this study, the authors 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 alternative derived controller can be used as substitute for classical MPCs.
