INRODUCION Conventonal power systems wth large synchronous generator ase power plants mantans reuency an voltage stalty wth the help o automatc generaton control (AGC an automatc voltage regulator (AVR. AGC controls the necte actve power an AVR controls the exctaton an there y controls the necte reactve power []. Wth the avent o mcro-grs the aspects o reuency an voltage control are raply changng. A mcro-gr generally conssts o two or more strute generators. he generators may e o conventonal esel or steam type or electroncally nterace renewale sources. Voltage o the mcro-gr s locally controlle y generatng sucent reactve power where as reuency control s taken care y man gr n gr connecte moe [2][]. All the generators n mcro-gr operate as PQ sources generatng pre ene actve an reactve power set-ponts [2-4]. In solate mcro gr envronment oth synchronous generator ase (SG-DG an electroncally nterace strute generators (EI-DG are orce to partcpate n reuency regulaton an voltage control [4][5]. he conventonal way o controllng voltage an reuency n solate mcro-gr s to orce the EI-DG to ollow roop characterstcs (P-, Q-V through nepenent - current control usng PI controllers [2-6]. In smart gr scenaro, n the presence o ast communcaton evces moel prectve controller (MPC s an alternatve to the conventonal PI controllers or controllng voltage an reuency o solate mcro-grs. Usng present state normaton o a system, MPC prects the uture response o the system wth the help o a mathematcal moel o the system [7-9]. Whle controllng reuency an voltage many constrants are mpose on the operaton o the controller especally n solate mcro-grs whch can e hanle y the MPC very well when compare to the other controllers [8][9]. It can explot our knowlege aout the sturances that are aectng the reuency an voltage. hs s not the case wth presently use PI control methos. hs paper presents a etale approach o centralze reuency an voltage control o a photovoltac (PV an esel generator ase mcro-gr n solate envronment usng screte moel prectve controller (DMPC. he superorty o DMPC over conventonal PI controller s explane usng smulaton results.
