This paper studies the concept of Non-linear Predictive Control (NMPC) to micro-grid in remote small islands in Fiji or the Pacific region. A multi-parametric model with a suitable cost function is considered for a microgrid supplied by renewable energy sources and with a flywheel energy storage system The proposed control strategy has been designed for implementation on an Field-Programmable gate array (FPGA) board, for its the great advantages of reducing the overall system cost, size, and realtime operation, making it suitable for easy and cheap application in small islands or villages.
