• Abstract: One potential future for the next generation of smart grids is the use of decentralized optimization algorithms and secured communications for coordinating renewable generation (e.g., wind/solar), dispatchable devices (e.g., coal/gas/nuclear generations), demand response, battery & storage facilities, and topology optimization. The Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) has been widely used in the community to address such decentralized optimization problems and, in particular, the AC Optimal Power Flow (AC-OPF). This paper studies how machine learning may help in speeding up the convergence of ADMM for solving AC-OPF. It proposes a novel decentralized machine-learning approach, namely ML-ADMM, where each agent uses deep learning to learn the consensus parameters on the coupling branches. The paper also explores the idea of learning only from ADMM runs that exhibit high-quality convergence properties, and proposes filtering mechanisms to select these runs. Experimental results on test cases based on the French system demonstrate the potential of the approach in speeding up the convergence of ADMM significantly.

  Multi-block ADMM-type methods offer substantial reductions in per-it complexity. MPALM shares a similar form with multi-block ADMM and ensures convergence. MPALM's performance is highly sensitive to the choice of penalty parameters. We propose a novel L2O approach that adaptively selects this hyperparameter using supervised learning.

  Big data, including applications with high security requirements, are often collected and stored on multiple heterogeneous devices, such as mobile devices, drones and vehicles. Due to the limitations of communication costs and security requirements, it is of paramount importance to extract information in a decentralized manner instead of aggregating data to a fusion center. We consider the problem of learning model parameters in a multi-agent system with data locally processed via distributed edge nodes. A class of mini-batch alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithms is explored to develop the distributed learning model.
