Research on Distributed Control Algorithm of Virtual Power Plant Based on Communication -censored

To improve the communication efficiency of distributed control algorithm for virtual power plant, a distributed control algorithm for virtual power plant based on communication-censored is proposed to realize efficient communication. For the DC optimal power flow problem of virtual power plant, the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) with faster convergence speed is adopted, and communication-censored is added in the process of updating iteration. Different from the traditional algorithm, communication is carried out after each iteration. The distributed control algorithm of virtual power plant based on communication-censored can communicate and exchange information only when the difference between the two iterations is large enough, which effectively reduces the communication cost. In addition, the validity of the algorithm is verified on a 6- bus system.
