A Model Predictive Control Based Generator Start-Up Optimization Strategy for Restoration With Microgrids as Black-Start Resources

Journal Article · · IEEE Transactions on Power Systems
Microgrids (MGs) can operate in an islanded mode and serve as black-start resources for power system restoration (PSR). Here, a model predictive control (MPC) based generator start-up optimization strategy for PSR is proposed utilizing MGs as black-start resources. First, the generator start-up sequence (GSUS) optimization is formulated as a mixed integer linear programming. Then, the uncertainties of MG black-start resources (MBSRs) are modeled by discretizing the probability distribution of the forecast errors, and representative scenarios for MBSRs extracted by formulating the probability mass transportation problem. Third, the generator start-up optimization strategy considering MBSRs is proposed utilizing the MPC technique, in which the optimization objective is to maximize the energy capability of the power systems and minimize the load curtailment of the MGs in each looking-ahead interval. Simulations on the IEEE 118 bus system with MGs and Zhejiang provincial power system in China verify that the introduced strategy for PSR can successfully restore the power system and effectively determine the optimal GSUS.
