Abstract :
This work presents a distributed model predictive control scheme for energy distribution. The energy is supposed to be supplied by a renewable power system whose energy production is limited and demanded by several consumers. Therefore, in some cases the produced energy cannot fulfill the energy requirements of the consumers. The proposed controller allows to distribute equitably the produced energy to these consumers without harming any of them. Moreover, simulated results based on a real case are presented in order to assess the proposed control strategy.
