Day-ahead economic dispatch for integrated multi-energy microgrid considering distributed agents

As the further development of integrated multi-energy microgrid (IMEM), the distributed management of it increasingly attracts more attention and researches because of different interest parts and data privacy preservation. Thus, a distributed day-ahead economic dispatch (ED) model is presented in this study, which is meaningful to the collaborative optimisation scheduling of IMEM. In the ED model of IMEM, the constraints of plug-in electric vehicles, multi-energy networks and energy conversion units are considered. A distributed algorithm based on the alternating direction method of a multiplier is proposed to achieve distributed dispatching of IMEM. A modified IMEM case is evaluated to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model and method.
