A Nash solution to predictive control problem for power systems

In this paper, we provide a Nash solution to predictive control problem for power systems consisting of a hydraulic turbine and a synchronous generator. In contrast to standard control methods for power systems, our design scheme is based on Nash short-time horizon predictive control concept in the feedback linearization framework. The proposed control law will be shown to optimally and exponentially regulate the terminal voltage, the rotor angle, and the rotor speed to the reference values. It is shown via numerical example that the proposed control law is more robust than standard control methods for power systems.
