Stability of Dynamic Feedback Optimization with Applications to Power Systems

Optimization and Control 2020-05-11 v1

Abstract

We consider the problem of optimizing the steady state of a dynamical system in closed loop. Conventionally, the design of feedback optimization control laws assumes that the system is stationary. However, in reality, the dynamics of the (slow) iterative optimization routines can interfere with the (fast) system dynamics. We provide a study of the stability and convergence of these feedback optimization setups in closed loop with the underlying plant, via a custom-tailored singular perturbation analysis result. Our study is particularly geared towards applications in power systems and the question whether recently developed online optimization schemes can be deployed without jeopardizing dynamic system stability.
