Abstract
This chapter investigates a distributed online algorithm for power distribution in a connected MG, based on the centralized algorithm presented in Chap. 2. In this chapter, we take into account more practical factors, such as the user privacy and the distributed control manner. Based on the model introduced in National Institute of Standard and Technology, we first present a formulation that captures the key design factors such as user’s utility, grid load smoothing, and energy provisioning cost. The problem is shown to be convex and can be solved with a centralized online algorithm proposed in Chap. 2. We then develop a distributed online algorithm that decomposes and solves the online problem in a distributed manner, and prove that the distributed online solution is asymptotically optimal. The proposed distributed online algorithm is also practical and mitigates the user privacy issue by not sharing user utility functions. It is evaluated with trace-driven simulations and shown to outperform a benchmark scheme.
