Research on Multi-Agent Parallel Computing Model of Hydrothermal Economic Dispatch in Power System

摘要

This paper presents a Multi-Agent Parallel Computing Model (MAPCM) for solving hydrothermal scheduling in the power system. The proposed model is hierarchical with two levels - decomposition level considering real time dispatch with optimal power flow and a coordination level considering the selection method of hydro-coal transfer coefficient under different situation about water head, and active power coordination with generation ramping constraints. The model is applied to a simple case study exploring the effect of multi-agent parallel computing about hydrothermal system. The efficiency analysis shows that the model has much potential for the real-time dispatching.
