This comprehensive book offers a comprehensive design and development perspective on Model Predictive Control (MPC) for micro-grid control, emphasizing the step-by-step conversion of a nonlinear MPC to a linear MPC while preserving critical aspects of nonlinear MPC. It delves into centralized and decentralized MPC control algorithms tailored for a generic modern-day micro-grid, encompassing vital essential components. The book begins by introducing the nonlinear MPC formulation specifically tailored for micro-grids, paving the way for subsequent discussions on linear time-invariant and linear time-variant approximations of MPC for micro-grid control. Furthermore, it explores the application of orthonormal special functions to enhance the computational complexity of MPC algorithms, a crucial aspect for efficient real-time implementation.

Additionally, the book highlights various auxiliary requirements such as state estimators, disturbance compensators, and selective harmonic eliminators, all of which are essential for robustness and ensuring the successful online implementation of MPC. The culmination of the book is a demonstration of the superior performance of a well-designed MPC compared to conventional micro-grid primary controllers. Key topics covered in this book include detailed modeling of micro-grid components, operational modes in micro-grids, conventional micro-grid primary controllers, the significance of MPC as a micro-grid primary controller, understanding of MPC operation, nonlinear MPC formulation, linear approximations of MPC, application of special functions in the MPC formulation, and other online requirements for the MPC implementation.

To facilitate student learning, the book provides examples that are available both from a calculation point of view and as MATLAB codes. This approach allows students to gain a solid understanding of the subject matter before embarking on practical implementation, enhancing their grasp of the material.
