N2 - In this paper, a novel distributed control strategyaddressing a (feasible) psycho-social-physical welfare problem inislanded Direct Current (DC) smart grids is proposed. Firstly,we formulate a (convex) optimization problem that allows prosumersto share current with each other, taking into accountthe technical and physical aspects and constraints of the grid(e.g., stability, safety), as well as psycho-social factors (i.e.,prosumers’ personal values). Secondly, we design a controllerwhose (unforced) dynamics represent the continuous time primaldualdynamics of the considered optimization problem. Thirdly,a passive interconnection between the physical grid and thecontroller is presented. Global asymptotic convergence of theclosed-loop system to the desired steady-state is proved andsimulations based on collected data on psycho-social aspectsillustrate and confirm the theoretical results.
