Improved predictive current model control based on adaptive PR controller for standalone system based DG set

Abstract

This paper investigates an improved current predictive model control (PCMC) strategy with a prediction horizon of one sampling time for voltage regulation in standalone system based on diesel engine driven fixed speed of a synchronous generator. An adaptive PR controller with anti-windup scheme is employed to achieve high performance regulation without saturation issues. In addition, new method to obtain the optimal parameters of the adaptive PR controller to achieve high performance during the transition and in steady state is provided. To balance the power at the point of common coupling (PCC) as well as to feed a clean power to the connected loads, a three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) with LRC filter is controlled using the developed improved PCMC strategy, where the output filter current is controlled using the predicting of the system behaviour model in the future step, at each sampling prediction time. The performances of the proposed configuration and the improved control strategy are verified using Matlab/Simulink interface.
