This article investigates the privacy issues in the distributed energy management system (EMS) of smart distribution systems and microgirds. A novel private collaborative distributed energy management system (P-CoDEMS) is proposed to solve the AC optimal power flow (ACOPF) problem in a distributed and private fashion. The proposed P-CoDEMS algorithm is based on an original primal dual subgradient distributed optimization technique and a state-of-the-art fully homomorphic encryption algorithm. The convergence and optimality of the proposed P-CoDEMS algorithm are evaluated on four representative systems. Simulation results indicate that the proposed P-CoDEMS algorithm can accurately solve the ACOPF problem in a fully distributed way while preserving individual agent privacy.
