This paper describes a Model Predictive Control (MPC) system for voltage control through ?eld excitation of hydroelectric generating units. An attractive feature of MPC is its capability to handle Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) systems and nonlinear systems taking constraints into account. The system under study is a power system based on detailed models from Matlab’s SimPowerSystemsTM and parametrized according to the Nordic model from the Norwegian Transmission System Operator (TSO), Statnett. The primary role of the ?eld excitation control system is to quickly respond to voltage disturbances occurring in the power system. The control system is tested for both ?rst-swing transient stability and long term voltage stability.
