Introduction

The course of Process Modeling is directed to provide a modern review of the model predictive control. Hence, it is important to learn the concepts of model predictive control and their applications in power grids. The objectives include equipping learners with (a) understanding of the basic theory of model predictive control (main components, modelling and different model based predictive control); and (b) case studies in model predictive control, especially in the smart grid application. . 

This course is part of:
- Graduate Certificate in Computer Control and Automation
- FlexiMasters  in Computer Control and Automation

On completion of the course, the learners should be able to:

1. Understand the concept and structure of the MPC;

2. Can use different model based MPC, including Model predictive control with state space model / Carima model/ step response models;

3. Can design the parameters, cost function and constrains of the MPC and; 

4. Know how to use MPC in the smart grid, including design MPC-based controller for DC/DC converters and DC/AC inverters.

Basic theory of the model predictive control: Part I

Main component of model predictive control, Modelling of model predictive control, model predictive control with state space model, model predictive  control with Carima model.

Basic theory of the model predictive control: Part II
 

Model predictive control with impulse/step response models, model predictive control to ensure unbiased prediction, parameters selection rules  for the model predictive control.

Application of model predictive control in smart grid: Part I

Application of model predictive control in smart grid, the concept of finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC), the application of FCS-MPC  in power inverters in the smart grids.

Application of model predictive control in smart grid: Part II

The limitation of traditional PID control in smart grid application, model predictive control for the DC/DC converters in smart grids, overview and  design issues of the model predictive control in smart grids.
