A Further Study on the Cooperative Control of Energy Storage Systems under Unreliable Communication Network

Abstract

In Cai and Hu (2018), a dual objective control problem for an energy storage system was solved by a distributed control scheme which can achieve both state-of-energy balancing and power tracking. However, it relies on the assumption that the communication network is reliable and fixed. In this work, we further consider the same problem for the case that the communication network is unreliable and switched. It is proven that, under certain connectivity condition on the communication network, the same control law as in Cai and Hu (2018) can still achieve the dual control objective.
