Economic Dispatch by Secondary Distributed Control in Microgrids

This paper proposes a distributed controller in order to achieve the economic dispatch (ED) of a microgrid, which complies with the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions for a linear optimal power flow formulation. The consensus over the Lagrange multipliers allows an optimal dispatch without considering an electrical microgrid model, preserving the frequency and voltage restoration into the secondary control level for isolated microgrids.
