Multiagent System Based Microgrid Energy Management via Asynchronous Consensus ADMM

In this letter, an optimal operation model for amultiagent system (MAS) based microgid is proposed. The objective is to save the overall energy cost represented as a sum of locally observable convex functions. An asynchronous and distributed alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithm is developed for theMAS-based microgrid to solve the formulated optimization problem and reach a convergence state. The proposed approach is shown to be highly effective through a simulation case study, indicating high potential for applications.
