Hardware in Loop of A Generalized Predictive Controller For A Micro Grid Dc System of Renewable Energy Sources

In this paper, a hardware in the loop simulation (hil) is presented. this application is purposed as the first step before a real implementation of a generalized predictive control (gpc) on a micro-grid system located at the military university campus in cajica, colombia. the designed gpc, looks for keep the battery bank state of charge (soc) over the 70% and under the 90%, what ensures the best performance in the battery bank according its technical specifications. the gpc algorithm was embedded on a stm32 microcontroller and the micro-grid model was embedded on an arduino mega microcontroller.
