The receding horizon method to compute synchronous machine state feedback strategies

This paper presents the development and application of the receding horizon method to the design of state feedback controllers for synchronous machines. The proposed technique does not require to specify a-priori the weighting matrix Q of the usual quadratic cost function. It requires, however, the integration of a Riccati-type equation over a given time interval T. The design method is employed to determine the excitation control strategies of single synchronous machines connected to an infinite bus.
