Abstract

Abstract : This paper presents a novel distributed method for dynamic economic dispatch (DED) problems with cubic fuel cost functions based on the dual alternating direction method of multipliers (D‐ADMM) and interior point method (IPM). This scheme enables us to combine the excellent parallelism of ADMM with the superior convergence properties of the IPM. The idea adopted by the proposed algorithm is that the outer‐loop uses ADMM decoupling, and the inner‐loop uses IPM to solve the cubic polynomial optimization subproblems. When the unit set is divided into multiple partitions, D‐ADMM also has the nice central processing unit (CPU) runtime as the well as the number of iterations. In addition, we use a Decoupling‐Decomposition‐Backtracking and parallel improved multiple centrality corrections decoupling interior point method (DDB‐PIMCCD) to solve the aforementioned larger subproblems more efficiently. Finally, the numerical results, in both serial and parallel modes, on a set of 22 DED cases with the range of units from 8 to 1000 units show that the proposed method is very promising for large scale distributed DED problems. Because it can keep the unit information about each subset in secret to suit the market environment and can obtain high‐quality solutions with reasonable time. © 2020 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
