Fully distributed economic dispatch of distributed generators in active distribution networks considering losses

What is it about?

The increased complexity of the modern distribution system caused by the installation of a large number of distributed energy resources, dictates the necessity for novel, decentralized schemes for the grid operation. In this paper, a fully distributed method for the economic dispatch (ED) problem is proposed that takes into account distribution losses. The solution is reached using only local computations and exchange of messages between adjacent nodes without the need of a central coordinating entity. The algorithm presents plug-and-play capabilities and is self-triggered.
