Abstract

This paper presents a fault-tolerant model predictive control (MPC) strategy 
applied to a microgrid with renewable generation and battery energy storage. 
The proposed approach combines a zone-based MPC controller for the battery 
state of charge with a fault detection and diagnosis (FDI) module. The 
diagnosis compares the measured battery behavior with the behavior computed 
by a reference model, obtaining a functional estimate of the battery state 
of health (SOH). This estimate activates a reconfiguration strategy that 
updates the internal model of the controller and modifies the admissible 
operating band of the state of charge. The architecture is evaluated through 
simulation under different battery degradation levels. The results show that 
the proposed strategy distinguishes between scenarios with and without 
diagnostic activation, improves the performance of the reconfigured controller 
compared with the non-reconfigured operation, and reduces the deviations of 
the state of charge with respect to the admissible operating zone while 
satisfying the power constraints of the system.
