Noiseless Consensus Based Algorithm for Economic Dispatch problem in Grid-connected Microgrids to Enhance Stability among Distributed Generators

Economic Dispatch is an important problem in the operation of microgrids. It aims to minimize the total cost of operation/generation of microgrids while meeting all the defined constraints. Since microgrids consist of distributed generators, it is imperative for these generators to communicate seamlessly with each other without any losses and to ensure secure operation of the microgrid. With use of distributed generators, noise is inherent in the system. Most of the economic dispatch problems do not include noise in their analysis while finding a relevant solution. This paper focuses on including noises as a constraint in grid connected mode microgrids to find a better economic dispatch solution. This will enhance the microgrid's performance and make it a more resilient system.
