This article proposes a design strategy for energyflow controllers in microgrids with renewable generation withinthe framework of Economic Model Predictive Control (EMPC).The model used is made up of a storage system and ageneration source, considering the possibility of exchangingenergy with the main network, thus allowing to the microgrid,through the proposed control strategy, the possibility of actingand participating within the electrical market.The proposed functional for the controller considers costs ofuse for the microgrid systems, as well the benefit from saleof energy to the main electrical network. The operation of thesystem is checked, simulating it in different scenarios.
