Abstract

We consider the problem of minimizing the power generation cost by exploiting the distributed renewable energy sources(DRES) located in the power distribution network. The proposed strategy requires that the intelligent agents, located at the microgenerator buses, measure their voltage and then adjust the amount of injected power, according to a feedback control law that is indeed a projected gradient descent strategy. Simulations are provided in order to illustrate the algorithm behavior.
