Abstract

Flexible loads are distributed widely in civil or commercial areas, which have already accounted for a large proportion of the total electricity consumption around the world. This chapter studies the distributed power allocation control and distributed load following control of flexible loads in smart grids. In the first part, a novel distributed optimal dispatch algorithm is proposed for coordinating the operation of multiple micro units in a microgrid, which has incorporated the distributed ...
