Abstract

In this chapter, an Economic Model Predictive Control (EMPC) strategy is investigated for the solution of the pricing management problem in a Community-based microgrid (C-μGCC). The main goal is that of satisfying the demand at consumer sides and, at the same time, optimizing several μ-Grid contrasting objectives. Particular attention has been devoted to the satisfaction of the operational constraints on the lifetime of certain components. The fulfilment of these constraints is beneficial for reducing the maintenance and replacement costs. Simulations have been carried out on the basis of available measured data related to a location in Dublin, Ireland. The effectiveness of the EMPC approach to optimally manage the system is clear from the obtained results.
