Distributed Dispatching Optimization based on Consistency Theory for Smart Grid

Abstract

Abstract The energy management issue of a smart grid is the key to the efficient and stable operation of a smart grid. Due to the large number of distributed energy sources connected, the centralized dispatch method is no longer applicable, and the smart grid uses distributed algorithms for dispatch. In this paper, based on modeling and analysis of the smart grid dispatch problem, the distributed dispatch algorithm is designed by combining the consistency theory in multi-intelligent body systems. First, the distributed scheduling algorithm is designed under ideal communication conditions. Then, the correctness of the algorithm is verified in the MATLAB simulation platform under two conditions without considering the generator set output constraint and considering the generator set output constraint. The analysis of the study simulation results shows that the optimal solution of the scheduling problem is obtained when the marginal costs of the generation equipment converge consistently.
