Abstract :
A completely decentralized system to discover the capacity of a micro-grid in a distribution feeder is presented. It is shown that in a multi-agent system with only neighbor-neighbor communication between agents in a radial feeder, each agent can determine the total generation capacity available at its node. Properties of the algorithm suggest convergence in a finite number of iterations. A Matlab/Simulink implementation is used to illustrate the algorithm for a seven-bus distribution system.
