Title:Distributed Optimization and Power System Applications
Speaker:Le Yi Wang(Wayne State University)
Time and Venue: May 9th, 09:00, N202
Abstract:
Networked systems introduce challenging issues on integrated control, communications, and computing. In this talk, we use a DC microgrid as a benchmark case to discuss distributed optimization methodologies. Fair distribution to distributed generators, power loss on transmission lines, voltage management on buses are main issues in DC microgrids. These problems can be formulated as distributed and constrained optimization problems. Algorithms, convergence, ability to deal with observation noises, scalability are studied. Some fundamental questions on distributed methodologies and their practical implications will also be discussed.
