Distributed Energy Resources (DER) have great\ potential to enhance the operation of electric power\ distribution systems.\ Previously, we explored the\ use of 2 Dimensional Extremum Seeking (2D-ES)\ control algorithms to enable model-free optimal\ control of DER to provide grid services to both the\ distribution and transmissions systems.\ Motivated\ by preliminary deployments of DER managed by\ 2D-ES algorithms in hardware-in-the-loop tests and\ in operational distribution grids,\ in this work,\ we extend the control scheme to accommodate\ communication delays and information loss.We\ propose a modification to the 2D-ES scheme to allow\ for the processing of batches of possibly noncontiguous\ objective function measurements at unknown and\ possibly uneven intervals. We provide a proof of the\ convergence of the batch 2D-ES (2D-BES) scheme when\ optimizing a generic convex objective function, as well\ as simulation results that demonstrate the suitability of\ the approach for substation active and reactive power\ target tracking.
