An Efficient Distributed Transactive Energy Control Model Using Adaptive Consensus ADMM

This paper presents a distributed Transactive Energy Control (TEC) model for energy management purposes in distribution networks. The shortages of centralized and decentralized methods have been addressed in this paper, wherein the system operator plays the role of coordinator to not only oversee the system constraints, but also maintain the system privacy. Prosumers, also, can solve their own energy management problem separately without secure data sharing. To solve the proposed model, the adaptive Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) method is utilized in which the penalty factor is specified based on optimality and feasibility condition in each iteration. The implementations express that the proposed model can improve the accuracy and speed of convergence by 40.36 and 49.99 percent compared to regular ADMM.
