ABSTRACT

Smart grid in the future generation of power system has the characteristic for the power flow in grid-connected mode, but one of the major issues encountered is the unpredictable power supply from renewable energy sources (RESs). In the noncooperative https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> H ∞ https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429432941/63df2486-ef31-4a70-9449-3488247ff9a8/content/inline13_1.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> management strategy, the microgrids are involved in pursuing their own interests with different energy cost consideration which may partly conflict with others in a smart grid network. Recently, it still lacks analytical or computational methods to efficiently solve the complex noncooperative power flow management problem for the smart grid with unpredictable power supply from RESs. In this chapter, we formulate a novel utility function by which each manager could design his/her noncooperative https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> H ∞ https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429432941/63df2486-ef31-4a70-9449-3488247ff9a8/content/inline13_2.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> management strategy according to their own consideration and the possible effect of other competitive managers’ strategies.

Because the LMIs-constrained MOP still has difficulty to solve directly by the conventional multiobjective evolution algorithm (MOEA) for its Pareto optimal solutions, we develop an LMIs-constrained MOEA to obtain the multiperson noncooperative https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> H ∞ https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429432941/63df2486-ef31-4a70-9449-3488247ff9a8/content/inline13_5.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> management strategy for a smart grid network efficiently.
