Privacy disclosures and malevolent data intrusions targeting adversarial agents pose significant menaces to cyber-physical systems, a reality that extends to the intricate realm of micro-grid energy management. This paper proposes a homomorphic encryption based resilient distributed algorithm with an event-triggered mechanism to address this problem. Due to the potential information disclosure issue, exchange information is encrypted to an arbitrary neighbor and decrypted with a private key to protect agents. Considering the potential security attacks on adversary agents, an event-trigger based resilient distributed optimization with trusted agents (ETRDO-T) is proposed. It ensures the convergence of distributed algorithms, as well as relives the communication burden caused by homomorphic encryption. The simulation results, it can be seen that even under data attacks from malicious nodes, this method can effectively protect privacy information in information exchange while ensuring the convergence of energy management.

In this paper, a distributed averaging algorithm in the presence of adversarial Byzantine agents is proposed. The algorithm is based on a resilient retrieval procedure, where all non-Byzantine nodes send their own initial values and retrieve those of other agents. We establish that the convergence of the proposed algorithm relies on strong robustness of the graph for locally bounded adversaries in a network with communication delays and asynchrony. A topology analysis in terms of time complexity and relation between connectivity metrics is also presented. Simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms under prescribed graph conditions.

Electric Vehicles (EVs) have become popular in the domain of Intelligent Transportation Systems for their ability to mitigate increasing environmental concerns by reducing carbon footprints and conserving fossil fuels. Due to the scarcity of static charging stations, Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) charge sharing can facilitate the on-demand charging requirement of EVs. However, most of the V2V charge-sharing solutions are either centralized or semi-centralized, causing long waiting times, huge message overhead, and high infrastructural costs. For a large network, assigning a suitable donor EV for an acceptor EV as well as maximizing the matching cardinality in a distributed environment is a challenging problem. In this paper, the problem of V2V matching for charge sharing is mapped to the classical stable matching problem in bipartite graphs. The problem is formulated using integer linear programming that considers flexible decision making for EVs based on multiple charging criteria and constraints. However, as EVs have limited communication ranges, an EV can't possess knowledge about the entire vehicular network. So we propose two sets of distributed heuristics under the name of Vehicle to Vehicle distributed Charge Sharing (V2VDisCS), which yield a sub-optimal solution with lower computational and message complexities compared to existing distributed solutions. We analyze the average case matching probabilities and prove the sub-optimality of our approach. Simulation studies show that our heuristics outperform the existing distributed approaches in terms of message overhead and matching percentage. They show a comparable result for matching preference with respect to the standard centralized stable matching algorithm.

We investigate the problem of power balancing in a general renewable-integrated power grid with storage and flexible loads. We consider a power grid that is supplied by one conventional generator (CG) and multiple renewable generators (RGs) each co-located with storage, and is additionally connected with external markets. An aggregator operates the power grid and aims at minimizing the long-term system cost. We propose a distributed real-time power balancing solution, taking into account the uncertainty of the renewable generation, loads, and energy prices. We demonstrate that our proposed algorithm is asymptotically optimal as the storage capacity increases and the CG ramping constraint loosens. The distributed implementation enjoys a fast convergence rate and enables each RG and the aggregator to make their own decisions.

This article investigates the distributed Nash equilibrium (NE) seeking problem of uncertain multiagent systems in unreliable communication networks. In this problem, the action of each agent is subject to a class of nonlinear systems with uncertain dynamics, and the communication network among agents will be affected by the nonperiodic denial of service (DoS) attacks. Note that, in this insecure network environment, the existence of DoS attacks will directly destroy the connectivity of the network, which leads to performance degradation or even failure of the most existing distributed NE seeking algorithms. To address this problem, we propose a two-stage distributed NE seeking strategy, including the attack-resilient distributed NE estimator and the neuroadaptive tracking controller. The estimator based on the projection subgradient method and the consensus protocol can converge exponentially to virtual NE against DoS attacks. Then, the neuroadaptive tracking controller is designed for uncertain multiagent systems with the output of the estimator as the reference signal such that the actual action of all agents can reach NE. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory and improved average dwell time automaton, the stability of the estimator and the controller is proven, and all signals in the closed-loop system are uniformly bounded. Numerical examples are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

In this paper, the multi-coalition game problem with incomplete information over Markovian switching networks is investigated. Each heterogeneous player involved in the problem is driven by a general linear dynamic and shares information by exploiting the randomly evolving network. All players intend to minimize the cost function of their coalition while achieving output action consensus inside the coalition. Regarding this, we develop a distributed multi-coalition game algorithm based on the proportional-integral dynamic consensus protocol. With graph theory, stochastic processes, and the stability principle, the algorithm is proven to converge exponentially to the Nash equilibrium solution, and the effect of gain parameters on the convergence rate is revealed. In addition, motivated by concerns about typical scenarios in which transition probabilities are inaccessible and the demands of the time-limited task, the discussion is extended to cases including Markovian switching networks with partly unknown transition probabilities and the formulation of a distributed predefined time scheme. Then, the corresponding analytical results are given, respectively. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by numerical simulations.

This paper proposes a distributed pseudo-likelihood method (DPL) to conveniently identify the community structure of large-scale networks. Specifically, we first propose a block-wise splitting method to divide largescale network data into several subnetworks and distribute them among multiple workers. For simplicity, we assume the classical stochastic block model. Then, the DPL algorithm is iteratively implemented for the distributed optimization of the sum of the local pseudo-likelihood functions. At each iteration, the worker updates its local community labels and communicates with the master. The master then broadcasts the combined estimator to each worker for the new iterative steps. Based on the distributed system, DPL significantly reduces the computational complexity of the traditional pseudo-likelihood method using a single machine. Furthermore, to ensure statistical accuracy, we theoretically discuss the requirements of the worker sample size. Moreover, we extend the DPL method to estimate degree-corrected stochastic block models. The superior performance of the proposed distributed algorithm is demonstrated through extensive numerical studies and real data analysis.

Calculation and deposit of carbon emission flow help optimize the systematic management of power system operation with different types of power generation units. Traditionally, centralized computation of carbon emission flow led to some inherent problems, including poor stability, flexibility and data privacy concerns. In contrast, the existing distributed computation methods for carbon emission fail to protect data privacy and is difficult to ensure data credibility. Therefore, this paper proposes a distributed computation method for carbon emission flow, where a bus classification method and an encryption algorithm are designed to protect data privacy. Then, a lattice-like light blockchain structure is proposed for carbon emission flow calculation result, enhancing efficiency during the deposit process. The proposed lattice-like blockchain breaks through the existing structure with a single chain, as it realizes an asynchronous consensus by significantly improving the uploading speed of the blockchain. Finally, the IEEE 33-bus system is used to verify the reliability and security of the proposed method, interact with the lattice-like blockchain, and enhance the computation performance of the proposed method.

Due to the nature of integer variables, achieving multi-period optimal power flow (OPF) for AC/DC distribution networks (DNs) with integer variables via distributed algorithm presents significant technical challenges. These challenges primarily arise from two aspects. First, the integer variables lead to the traditional distributed algorithms failing to converge or converging to locally optimal solutions. Second, the binary variables related to topology switching cannot be relaxed to continuous variables, making existing distributed algorithms inapplicable. To address these problems, we propose the following solutions: (1) the primal problem is decomposed into a master problem and multiple subproblems using the generalized Benders decomposition (GBD) algorithm, and an iterative process is defined to obtain the optimal solution;(2) employing the branch- and-bound method (BBM) to avoid uncomputable cutting planes due to integer variables in the subproblem;and (3) using two acceleration techniques to improve efficiency by warming up the BBM and reducing parameter transfer between the master and subproblems. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method are proven by simulation results of a test system, showing that the algorithm converges to the optimal solution infinite time. Additionally, the distributed algorithm provides a practical solution for operators and enhances privacy.

This article investigates the generalized Nash equilibria (GNE) seeking problem for noncooperative games, where all players dedicate to selfishly minimizing their own cost functions subject to local constraints and coupled constraints. To tackle the considered problem, we initially form an explicit local equilibrium condition for its variational formulation. By employing proximal splitting operators, a novel distributed primal-dual splitting algorithm with full-decision information (Dist_PDS_FuDeIn) is designed, eliminating the need for global step-sizes. Furthermore, to address scenarios where players lack access to all other players' decisions, a local estimation is introduced to approximate the decision information of other players, and a fully distributed primal-dual splitting algorithm with partial-decision information (Dist_PDS_PaDeIn) is then proposed. Both algorithms enable the derivation of new distributed forward-backward-like extensions. Theoretically, a new analytical approach for convergence is presented, demonstrating that the proposed algorithms converge to the variational GNE of games, and their convergence rates are also proven, provided that uncoordinated step-sizes are positive and less than explicit upper bounds. Moreover, the approach not only generalizes the forward-backward splitting technique but also improves convergence rates of several well-known algorithms. Finally, the advantages of Dist_PDS_FuDeIn and Dist_PDS_PaDeIn are illustrated through comparative simulations.
