Distributed Coordinated Control and Energy Management in Smart Grids

Distinguished Professor Qinglong Han
Swinburne University of Technology, Australia

To deal with the exhaustion of traditional energy resources (e.g., coal, fossil oil, gas) and environmental deterioration, a smart grid has been established to realize the integration of renewable distributed energy sources, leading to some new theoretical and technical issues in control and power management. In this talk, distributed coordinated control and energy management strategies for smart grids will be presented, mainly focusing on i) distributed finite-time secondary control of AC microgrids, ii) distributed resilient secondary control of multiple battery energy storage systems under DoS attacks, and iii) distributed energy management of smart grids. It is shown that the proposed methods have strong abilities in improving efficiency and reliability of smart grids.
