The objective is to minimize the overall cost of the smart grid, where individual communities can switch between grid power and local power according to strategies of their neighbors. The distinctive feature of the proposed formulation is that, a small portion of the communities are cooperative, while others pursue their own benefits. This formulation can be categorized as control networked evolutionary game, which can be solved systematically by using semi-tensor product. A new binary optimal control algorithmis applied to optimize transient performances of the networked evolutionary game.en© 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
