Abstract:

Due to the private ownerships of various resource and equipment in a microgrid, it is essential to design a proper power trading strategy for a mutually satisfying partnership among suppliers and users. This paper proposes a novel discounted min-consensus algorithm to discover the optimal electrical power trading route with minimal power loss in dc microgrids. The proposed distributed algorithm only requires information exchange among neighbors based on a peer-to-peer communication protocol, which is robust to topology changes and enables parallel data processing to achieve fast decision-making. The convergence and optimality of the proposed discounted min-consensus algorithm are guaranteed by rigorous analysis. Simulation results of the 10-bus, 68-bus, and 1062-bus power systems demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed distributed optimal routing strategy for electrical power trading. Moreover, the proposed novel distributed algorithm sheds light on applying distributed control and optimization approaches to solve problems arising in artificial intelligence.
