| Abstract | This paper considers the coordination of controlled loads in a framework that loads connect to the distribution network through transformers. Our objective is designing a decentralized control method that can motivate selfish loads to achieve global benefits. We formulate this problem as a hierarchical model. In the lower level, each transformer broadcasts a price signal to the loads connect to it, under which loads implement individual best strategies. While in the upper level, transformers communicate with the distribution network and obtain a price reflecting the system generation cost. Each transformer determines a price including this price and another part reflecting individual characteristics. By proposing a dynamic update algorithm, our results build that the system converges to the unique and efficient solution with fast convergence speed. |
