In this paper we propose a distributed energy management system based on model predictive control (MPC) and distributed optimization techniques that accommodates both uncertainty in power production and energy prices. Firstly, we present a novel integral supply constraint based on Bregman energy functions that ensures equilibrium-independent. . Abstract—With the increased penetration of Renewable Ener-gy Sources (RESs) and plug-and-play loads, MicroGrids (MGs) bring direct challenges in energy management due to the un-certainties in both supply and demand sides. A distributed optimization method allows to solve the energy management problem without sharing any private data with the network and reducing the. . Microgrids are gaining considerable attention as a promising solution for integrating distributed energy resources and enhancing grid resilience. In order to cope with uncertainty in prices and renewable energy production, we adopt a robust min-max approach that optimizes at each time step the worst case scenario. .
