The objective is to minimize the quadratic deviation of the load delivered to customer nodes from their demand by continuously controlling the power inflow to the network at the energy producer nodes and by discrete but time-varying switches at the coupling nodes inside the network.

Mathematical formulation

The dynamics on the r-th transmission line with spatial variable x \in [0, l_r], temporal variable t \in [0, T], and state variable \xi_r(x,t) = (\xi^+_r(x, t), \xi^-_r(x, t)) containing the characteristic variables for right-traveling and left-traveling components are given by the hyperbolic PDE system

\partial_t \xi_r(x,t) + \Lambda_r \xi_r(x,t) + B_r \xi_r(x,t) = 0,

with a diagonal 2x2-matrix \Lambda_r and a symmetric matrix B_r. We combine all m single line states to a large state vector \boldsymbol{\xi}(x,t) to obtain the system

\partial_t \boldsymbol{\xi} + \boldsymbol{\Lambda} \partial_x \boldsymbol{\xi} + \mathbf{B} \boldsymbol{\xi} = 0

and formulate the coupling between the lines and the continuously controlled power inflow \boldsymbol{u}(t) as boundary conditions involving distribution matrices \mathbf{D}^\pm(v), which depend on a discrete switching signal \boldsymbol{v}(t), and constant distribution matrices \mathbf{\Lambda}^\pm of size m \times m according to

\begin{pmatrix} \boldsymbol{\Lambda}^+ & 0\\ 0 & \mathbf{D}^-(\boldsymbol{v}(t)) \end{pmatrix} \boldsymbol{\xi}(0,t) = \begin{pmatrix} \mathbf{D}^+(\boldsymbol{v}(t)) & 0\\ 0 & \boldsymbol{\Lambda}^- \end{pmatrix} \boldsymbol{\xi}(l,t) + \begin{pmatrix} \boldsymbol{\Lambda}^+ & 0\\ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \boldsymbol{u}(t).

The continuous control \boldsymbol{u}(t) is subject to simple bounds.

The objective is to track the given demands Q_s(t) of consumers, which can be formulated as

\displaystyle \min_{\boldsymbol{v} \in \mathcal{V}, \boldsymbol{u} \in \mathcal{U}} \frac{1}{2}\sum_{s \in V_S} \int_0^{T} \left( Q_s(t) - \sum_{r \in \delta_{s}} \xi_r^+(l_r,t) \right)^2 dt,

where V_S is the set of consumer nodes and \delta_s is the set of all lines adjacent to vertex s.

Parameters

Discretization

The mixed-integer variables \boldsymbol{v}(t) are transcribed via Partial Outer Convexification and the dynamics are discretized using Finite Volumes with upwind fluxes for the characteristic variables and explicit first-order time-stepping.
