This paper proposes a distributed control strategy based on multiagent self-triggered model predictive control (ST-MPC), with the aim of achieving demand-side control of hydrogen-based microgrid systems. This architecture considers a hybrid energy storage system with renewable energy as the main power source, supplemented by fuel cells based on electrolytic hydrogen. The primary objective of this architecture is aiming at the supply and demand balance problem under the supply and demand relationship of microgrid, the service life of hydrogen-based microgrid energy storage equipment can be increased on the basis of realizing demand-side control of hydrogen energy microgrid system. To accomplish this, model predictive controllers are implemented within a self-triggered framework that dynamically adjusts the counting period. The simulation results demonstrate that the ST-MPC architecture significantly reduces the frequency of control action changes while maintaining an acceptable level of set-point tracking. These findings highlight the viability of the proposed solution for microgrids equipped with multiple types of electrochemical storage, which contributes to improved sustainability and efficiency in renewable-based microgrid systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/a17060251","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,7]],"date-time":"2024-06-07T04:38:56Z","timestamp":1717735136000},"page":"251","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Distributed Control of Hydrogen-Based Microgrids for the Demand Side: A Multiagent Self-Triggered MPC-Based Strategy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Tingzhe","family":"Pan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CSG Electric Power Research Institute, Guangzhou 510663, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jue","family":"Hou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Power Dispatching Control Center of Guangdong Power Grid Co., Ltd., Guangzhou 510062, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CSG Electric Power Research Institute, Guangzhou 510663, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhenfan","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Power Dispatching Control Center of Guangdong Power Grid Co., Ltd., Guangzhou 510062, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Power Dispatching Control Center of Guangdong Power Grid Co., Ltd., Guangzhou 510062, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhijun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Power Dispatching Control Center of Guangdong Power Grid Co., Ltd., Guangzhou 510062, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"502","DOI":"10.1016\/j.solener.2016.12.034","article-title":"Optimal scheduling of grid-connected PV plants with energy storage for integration in the electricity market","volume":"144","author":"Alba","year":"2017","journal-title":"Sol.
