Distributed Control and Optimization of Networked Microgrids: A Multi-Agent System Based Approach

This book presents new techniques and methods for distributed control and optimization of networked microgrids.

Distributed  consensus issues under network-based and event-triggered mechanisms are  first addressed in a multi-agent system framework, which can explicitly  characterize the relationship between communication resources and the  control performance. Then, considering the effects of network  uncertainties, multi-agent system-based distributed schemes are tailored  to solve the fundamental issues of networked microgrids such as  distributed frequency regulation, voltage regulation, active power  sharing/load sharing, and energy management.

The monograph will contribute to stimulating extensive interest of researchers in electrical and control fields.
