Robust Energy Management Using Tube-Based Model Predictive Control for a Building with Solar Power and Batteries

The power generation from renewable energy sources, which is being promoted for mass adoption due to environmental issues, is affected by weather conditions, and therefore, it is necessary to predict the amount of power generation. In this study, we propose an algorithm for BEMS that takes into account the uncertainty of solar power generation using Tube-Based MPC, which is a type of robust MPC. We confirm through simulations that the algorithm is more robust against forecast errors by comparing it with a conventional method [3].
