RT21 | Implementation of Control Algorithms for Distribution Grids and its Validation on a Real-Time Simulator

This presentation is about the implementation and validation of a linear model predictive control (MPC) algorithm for future use in a smart grid automation system. This control should be able to be used curatively and preventively in the event of congestions in distribution grids. The algorithm is implemented and executed on an intelligent electronic device (IED), while the operating behavior of the electrical grid is simulated on a real-time simulator (RTS). For this simulation, time series were used with the help of the OPAL OPFrom blocks, while the transmission of the measured values is done via the standardized IEC 61850 Goose communication. The whole setup and first results of the algorithm validation will be given within this presentation.
