Optimal Decentralized Dynamic Energy Management over Asynchronous Peer-to-Peer Transactive Networks via Operator Splitting

摘要

Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy management facilitates decentralized resource allocation among prosumers, improving local hosting capacity for renewables and minimizing energy expenditures while ensuring data privacy through distributed coordination. However, conventional P2P energy management methods are confined to synchronous scheduling paradigms, creating synchronization bottlenecks that fundamentally conflict with the dynamic and decentralized nature of P2P energy management tasks. To bridge this gap, this paper focuses on resolving a class of dynamic energy management problems over asynchronous P2P (Asyn-P2P) transactive networks. We first recast the dynamic energy management problems into a saddle-point problem, and then propose a synchronous decentralized dynamic energy management algorithm, dubbed Syn-DYNA,based on operator splitting theory. To eliminate the global synchronization clock in Syn-DYNA, we introduce a random activation scheme, together with local buffers for latest state tracking, to develop an asynchronous variant of Syn-DYNA, namely Asyn-DYNA. Based on monotone operator theory, theoretical analysis proves a non-asymptotic linear convergence rate for Syn-DYNA and establishes the almost sure convergence ofAsyn-DYNA. Numerical experiments validate effectiveness of Syn-DYNA and Asyn-DYNA algorithms by tackling a dynamic energy management task over P2P transactive networks.
