Privacy-Preserving Neurodynamic Distributed Energy Management for Integrated Energy System Considering Packet Losses

The multi-agent characteristics of integrated energy systems are becoming increasingly prominent, rendering the energy management problems more intricate. Additionally, the distributed agents are faced with challenges from the communication layer, such as packet losses and privacy disclosure issues. Therefore, a privacy-preserving neurodynamic-based optimization strategy considering packet losses is proposed in this article. A privacy-preserving communication model is constructed based on differential privacy (DP). Unlike traditional DP methods, the privacy preservation mechanism employed in this article can achieve a quantified high level of privacy while ensuring the solution accuracy of the optimization algorithm. Moreover, communication packet loss models based on both the two-state Markov process and the Bernoulli process are established. The proposed fully distributed scheme only requires communication between adjacent agents. The efficiency of the neurodynamic-based approach, the high-level privacy preservation, and the robustness against communication packet loss are demonstrated through several case studies.
