Sustainable PV-hydrogen-storage microgrid energy management using a hierarchical economic model predictive control framework by Xinyu Guo, Faying Gu, Hongxu Liu, Yongcheng Yu, Runjie Li, Juan Wang

“…Under the proposed framework, a mixed-integer nonlinear optimization problem is solved by the long-term EMPC in the upper level to regulate the start-up/shut-down of hydrogen devices and the state of charge in the battery, and the short-term EMPC in the lower level reoptimizes the power demand tracking cost while tracking the optimal reference signal from the long-term EMPC, thereby improving overall control system efficiency. The simulation results along with qualitative and quantitative analysis show that compared with rule-based control, the proposed HEMPC is effective in managing the equipment power output, realizing dynamic synergy and enhancing the economic performance.…”
