Abstract: Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and microgrids have garnered significant attention in recent research, with temperature control and renewable energy integration emerging as key focus areas in urban distribution power systems. This paper proposes a robust predictive temperature control (RPTC) method and a microgrid control strategy incorporating asymmetrical challenges, including uneven power load distribution and uncertainties in renewable outputs. The proposed method leverages a thermodynamics-based R-C model to achieve precise indoor temperature regulation under external disturbances, while a multisource disturbance compensation mechanism enhances system robustness. Additionally, an HVAC load control model is developed to enable real-time dynamic regulation of airflow, facilitating second-level load response and improved renewable energy accommodation. A symmetrical power tracking and voltage support secondary controller is also designed to accurately capture and manage the fluctuating power demands of HVAC systems for supporting operations of distribution power systems. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through power electronics simulations in the Matlab/Simulink/SimPowerSystems environment, demonstrating its practical applicability and superior performance.
