Solving Economic Dispatch Problem in Energy Internet Using a Two-Level Stochastic Gossip-Based Consensus Algorithm

Abstract:

In the future, energy Internet will gradually replace the traditional power network since it enables flexible energy sharing for consumers. Consensus algorithm achieved good performance in solving economic dispatch problem in microgrid system whereas the difficulty is finding a consensus variable. By means of choosing the incremental generator cost of each energy local area network (ELAN) as the consensus variable, the economic dispatch problem can be solved. Using the stochastic gossip-based algorithm as the basic framework, the economic dispatch problem can be solved in a distributed manner. In order to meeting the real-time load requirement in time under the fixed communication topology, the fluctuation of each ELAN will do the consensus update at the same time. The result of a representative case is presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed two-level stochastic gossip-based consensus algorithm.
