A Linear programming formulation for routing asynchronous power systems of the Digital Grid

The European Physical Journal Special Topics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

In recent years, practical research related to distributed power generation and networked distribution grids has been increasing. This research uses a relatively abstract model for the cost reduction in the Digital Grid Power Network. In the Digital Grid, the traditional wide-area synchronous grid is divided into smaller segmented grids which are connected asynchronously. In this paper, we demonstrate how to formulate the minimized cost of power generation by using linear programming methods, while considering the cost of electric transmission and distribution and using asynchronous power interchange among separate grids.
