This study introduces a decentralized economic dispatch method for microgrids that eliminates the need for communication, showing potential for achieving global consensus in practical cases while significantly reducing the overall communication burden.
This letter proposes a fully decentralized approach to economic dispatch in microgrids with a novel communication-less strategy. It is aimed to overcome the limitations on strong dependency of center node and nodal communication in the conventional approaches. Comparative case studies based on a 14-bus microgrid demonstrate that the proposed approach can achieve a global consensus in a mesh network and the overall communication burden can be significantly reduced.
