A Distributed Dual Consensus ADMM Based on Partition for DC-DOPF With Carbon Emission Trading.

This article presents a distributed alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMMs) approach for solving the direct current dynamic optimal power flow with carbon emission trading (dc-DOPF-CET) problem. Generally, the ADMM-based distributed approaches disclose boundary buses and branches information among adjacent subsystems. As opposed to these methods, the proposed method (dc-ADMM-P) adopts a novel strategy which uses consensus ADMM to solve the dual of dc-DOPF-CET while only discloses boundary branches information among adjacent subsystems. Moreover, the convergence performance of dc-ADMM-P is improved by reducing the number of dual multipliers and employing an improved update step of the multiplier. DC-ADMM-P is tested on cases ranging from 6 to 1062 buses, with comparison with other distributed/decentralized methods. The simulation results verify the high efficiency of dc-ADMM-P in solving the dc-DOPF problem with complex (nonlinear) factors which can be formulated as convex separable functions. Meanwhile, it also shows the improvement of convergence performance by reducing the number of dual multipliers and employing a new update strategy for the multiplier. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
