摘要：This research report investigates a novel optimization approach for the economic dispatch problem (EDP) based on the weighted sum of generators’ costs under supply-demand balance. Unlike conventional approaches, we present a distributed optimization approach that ensures optimality using weighted incremental cost (IC) consensus and sign-consensus error convergence. We can apply the optimization of a weighted sum of generators’ costs to address several constraints, such as capacity and environmental constraints, in addition to the supply-demand balance. The proposed distributed weighted incremental cost consensus approach has been applied to the IEEE-30 bus and IEEE-118 bus systems over a communication topology. The results indicate the efficacy of weights to address generation constraints and the convergence of weighted ICs under supply-demand balance.
