Distributed Learning Algorithms and Lossless Convex Relaxation for Economic Dispatch with Transmission Losses and Capacity Limits

Figure 1

A schematic diagram for physical connections and communication in power-generation grid. The solid black lines denote the electrical connections between generators, the blue dashed arrows denote communication links between generators, the red dotted arrow denotes the broadcasting of the Lagrange multiplier, and the blue dotted arrows denote the generators’ willing-to-supply powers for given Lagrange multiplier.
