Abstract :
[en] In this paper, we present a hardware-in-the-loop testbench for assessing the performance of various controllers in a high-fidelity simulation. In particular, we consider a feedback-based controller that pursues the optimal solution to an AC optimal power flow problem, while ensuring anytime satisfaction of the operational constraints, using voltage and power measurements. The controllers are tested on a 20-node distribution network with a realistic setting, considering modeling uncertainties and communication delays. We highlight the benefits of feedback-based controllers compared to omniscient controllers, and their robustness with respect to modeling uncertainties. [fr] Dans cet article, nous présentons un banc d'essai hardware-in-the-loop pour évaluer les performances de divers contrôleurs dans un environnement haute fidélité. En particulier, nous examinons un contrôleur basé sur la rétroaction qui vise un contrôle des flux de puissance optimal tout en assurant la satisfaction continue des contraintes opérationnelles, en utilisant des mesures de tension et de puissance. Les contrôleurs sont testés sur un réseau de distribution de 20 nœuds dans un cadre réaliste, en tenant compte des incertitudes de modélisation et des délais de communication. Nous mettons en évidence les avantages des contrôleurs basés sur la rétroaction par rapport aux contrôleurs omniscients, ainsi que leur robustesse par rapport aux incertitudes de modélisation.
