Abstract
The last application of networked dynamical systems comes from the power systems. Consider a power network of a large number of distributed energy resources. The optimal energy resource coordination problem is to minimize the total generation cost while meeting the total demand and satisfying individual generator output limits. Traditionally, this problem is solved by a centralized strategy. However, the centralized method requires a single control center that accesses the entire network’s information and therefore may subject to performance limitations, such as high communication requirement and cost, substantial computational burden, and limited flexibility and scalability, and disrespect of privacy. It is thus desirable to develop distributed approaches to overcome these limitations and accommodate various resources in the future smart grid.
