Modeling microgrid islanding problems as DCOPs

In this paper, we formulate the microgrid islanding problem as distributed constraint optimization problem (DCOP) and investigate the feasibility of solving it using off-the-shelf DCOP algorithms. This paper puts forward the potential of distributed constraint reasoning paradigm as a candidate for solving common microgrids problems.
