Stability and Distributed Optimization for AC Microgrid Considering Line Losses and Time Delay

With the development of distributed renewable generations, a large number of distributed generations (DGs) are connected to the microgrid. Therefore, distributed cooperative algorithms are more suitable for optimal dispatch of the microgrid than centralized algorithms. This paper proposes a novel distributed cooperative control method for optimal dispatch of microgrids, considering line losses and time delay. First, the optimization model of the microgrid considering line losses is established, and optimality conditions are obtained. Second, a novel distributed optimization method considering line losses is proposed, where the primary control is to achieve optimal dispatch, and the secondary control is to achieve frequency regulation. Third, the stability of the system under time delay is analyzed, and the robust stability conditions are obtained. Finally, simulation results verify the the effectiveness of the proposed method.
