In this paper, we consider the problem of optimally coordinating the response of a group of distributed energy resources (DERs) so they collectively meet the electric power demanded by a collection of loads, while minimizing the total generation cost and respecting the DER capacity limits. This problem can be cast as a convex optimization problem, where the global objective is to minimize a sum of convex functions corresponding to individual DER generation cost, while satisfying (i) linear inequality constraints corresponding to the DER capacity limits and (ii) a linear equality constraint corresponding to the total power generated by the DERs being equal to the total power demand. We develop distributed algorithms to solve the DER coordination problem over time-varying communication networks with either bidirectional or unidirectional communication links. The proposed algorithms can be seen as distribute

In this paper, we consider the problem of optimally coordinating the response of a group of distributed energy resources (DERs) in distribution systems by solving the so-called optimal power flow (OPF) problem. The OPF problem is concerned with deter mining an optimal operating point, at which some cost function, e.g., generation cost or power losses, is minimized, and operational constraints are satisfied. To solve the OPF problem, we propose distributed algorithms that are able to operate over time-varying communication networks and have geometric convergence rate. We solve the second-order cone program (SOCP) relaxation of the OPF problem for radial distribution systems, which is formulated using the so-called DistFlow model. Theoretical results are further supported by the numerical simulations.
This paper proposes networked dynamics to solve resource allocation problems over time-varying multi-agent networks. The state of each agent represents the amount of used resources (or produced utilities) while the total amount of resources is fixed. The idea is to optimally allocate the resources among the group of agents by minimizing the overall cost function subject to fixed sum of resources. Each agents information is restricted to its own state and cost function and those of its immediate in-neighbors. This is motivated by distributed applications such as mobile edge-computing, economic dispatch over smart grids, and multi-agent coverage control. This work provides a fast convergent solution (in comparison with linear dynamics) while considering relaxed network connectivity with quantized communication links. The proposed dynamics reaches optimal solution over switching (possibly disconnected) undirected networks as far as their union over some bounded non-overlapping time-intervals has a spanning-tree. We prove feasibility of the solution, uniqueness of the optimal state, and convergence to the optimal value under the proposed dynamics, where the analysis is applicable to similar 1st-order allocation dynamics with strongly sign-preserving nonlinearities, such as actuator saturation.
In this article, we present a finite time stopping criterion for consensus algorithms in networks with dynamic communication topology. Recent results provide asymptotic convergence to the consensus algorithm. However, the asymptotic convergence of th ese algorithms pose a challenge in the practical settings where the response from agents is required in finite time. To this end, we propose a Maximum-Minimum protocol which propagates the global maximum and minimum values of agent states (while running consensus algorithm) in the network. We establish that global maximum and minimum values are strictly monotonic even for a dynamic topology and can be utilized to distributively ascertain the closeness to convergence in finite time. We show that each node can have access to the global maximum and minimum by running the proposed Maximum-Minimum protocol and use it as a finite time stopping criterion for the otherwise asymptotic consensus algorithm. The practical utility of the algorithm is illustrated through experiments where each agent is instantiated by a NodeJS socket.io server.
This paper proposes a distributed framework for vehicle grid integration (VGI) taking into account the communication and physical networks. To this end, we model the electric vehicle (EV) behaviour that includes time of departure, time of arrival, st ate of charge, required energy, and its objectives, e.g., avoid battery degradation. Next, we formulate the centralised day ahead distribution market (DADM) which explicitly represents the physical system, supports unbalanced three phase networks with delta and wye connections, and incorporates the charging needs of EVs. The solution of the centralised market requires knowledge of EV information in terms of desired energy, departure and arrival times that EV owners are reluctant in providing. Moreover, the computational effort required to solve the DADM in cases of numerous EVs is very intensive. As such, we propose a distributed solution of the DADM clearing mechanism over a time-varying communication network. We illustrate the proposed VGI framework through the 13-bus, 33- bus, and 141-bus distribution feeders.
We introduce a general mathematical framework for distributed algorithms, and a monotonicity property frequently satisfied in application. These properties are leveraged to provide finite-time guarantees for converging algorithms, suited for use in t he absence of a central authority. A central application is to consensus algorithms in higher dimension. These pursuits motivate a new peer to peer convex hull algorithm which we demonstrate to be an instantiation of the described theory. To address the diversity of convex sets and the potential computation and communication costs of knowing such sets in high dimension, a lightweight norm based stopping criteria is developed. More explicitly, we give a distributed algorithm that terminates in finite time when applied to consensus problems in higher dimensions and guarantees the convergence of the consensus algorithm in norm, within any given tolerance. Applications to consensus least squared estimation and distributed function determination are developed. The practical utility of the algorithm is illustrated through MATLAB simulations.
