IMPROVEMENT project participated to the 21^st edition of IFAC World Congress, held virtually from Berlin on 30^th September, under the motto “Automatic Control – Meeting Societal Challenges”. The IFAC (International Federation of Automatic Control) World Congress is the biggest and most important meeting in the broad field of systems, control, and automation.

The project was introduced by Félix García Torres (H2 National Center) through a presentation on “Power Quality Management of Interconnected Microgrids Using Model Predictive Control”, an innovative technique to enhance the power quality of microgrids oriented to be integrated in buildings with critical loads.

Interreg SUDOE IMPROVEMENT project aims to convert existing public buildings into ZEB (Zero energy buildings) by integrating combined cooling, heating and power microgrids with neutral clamped inverters using hybrid energy storage systems which will guarantee power quality and continuity of service of environments with critical loads while increasing the energy efficiency in this kind of buildings.
