Optimal Decentralized Coordination of Voltage-Controlled Sources in Islanded Microgrids

摘要

The recent amalgamation of advanced communication and actuation capabilities into power entities is fundamental for enabling the design of an adaptive, efficient and resilient power grid. In this paper, we focus specifically on optimal and decentralized microgrid coordination that accounts for steady-state physical grid constraints. Actuating agents representing voltage-controlled distributed energy resources (DERs) in the microgrid exchange information with one another to iteratively compute the optimal local voltage set point. In order to account for physical inter dependencies in the microgrid in a tractable manner, a transformation is applied to the three-phase
