An inertial neurodynamic algorithm for collaborative time-varying energy management for energy internet containing distributed energy resources

This paper investigates the energy management of an Energy Internet (EI) that integrates multiple energy networks. Based on the structure of EI and the fluctuation of load, an optimal energy management model considering part of the load as time-varying factor is proposed. Under the influence of load, the actual energy management problem (EMP) is formulated as a time-varying optimization problem subject to a set of global and local constraints. Its optimal solution varies continuously with time, which leads to difficulties in obtaining optimal solutions by conventional algorithms. Consequently, to obtain better tracking performance, this paper proposes a distributed inertial projection neurodynamics algorithm (DIPNA) based on the Nesterov accelerated gradient descent method. This algorithm tracks the optimal solution of the EMP with a fast convergence rate O ( ¹/_t2⁾, providing a referenceable active power for each energy unit in real time. Finally, the performance evaluation results demonstrated the effectiveness and fast convergence of the proposed algorithm. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd
