Abstract

In this paper, a power allocation problem based on the Cournot game and generalized Nash game is proposed. After integrating dynamic average consensus algorithm and distributed projection neural network through singular perturbation systems, a normalized Nash equilibrium seeking algorithm is presented to solve the proposed power allocation problem in a distributed way. Combine Lyapunov stability with the singular perturbation analysis, the convergence of the proposed algorithm is analyzed. A simulation on IEEE 118-bus confirms that the proposed distributed algorithm can adjust the power allocation according to different situations, while keeping the optimal solution within the feasible set.
