Description

The growing consumption of electricity and the progressive development of new technologies imply that the power system is increasingly automated with the purpose of having a more efficient and economical operation. This development drives the system to a Smart Grid, a large-scale cyber-physic network covering different energy generation technologies, storage and communications, enabling real-time information exchange and control. In this work, we present an optimal distributed control based on the consensus+innovation technique, where each agent on the network obtains information from its neighbours. Simulations of a microgrid system based on an IEEE 34 nodes test feeder demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach. Convergence is observed in the microgrid system under different scenarios in the physical and communications network.
