System and Method for Distributed Control of an Electrical Network

摘要

Disclosed are systems and methods relating to managing and sharing resources within a spatially-distributed electrical power network in a fully distributed fashion. The electrical power network includes source nodes each having a power source and a local controller. The electrical power network includes a physical layer where the source nodes are connected to a power distribution network including one or more loads. The electrical power network also includes a communication layer for communicating power information between source nodes and neighbor source nodes of the electrical power network.
