Agent-Based Security Constrained Optimal Power Flow with Primary Frequency Control

International audienceWe propose in this paper a distributed method to solve the security constrained optimal power flow problem (SCOPF) that considers not only contingencies on transmission lines but also on generators.With this aim, we extend the formulation of the SCOPF problem to consider the primary frequency response of generators as well as the short term constraints of generators and transmission lines. Then, we distribute the problem among different agents and we use a decentralized decision making algorithm, based on the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM), to optimize the grid power supply while being resilient to violations that would occur during contingencies. Finally, we prove the effectiveness of this formulation and implementation on a simple test system
