This paper proposes a method to utilize distributed energy resources (DERs) to provide reactive power support for voltage control in electric power systems. Rather than controlling each of these resources directly, a ...

This paper discusses the utilization of distributed energy resources on the distribution side of the power grid to provide a number of ancillary services. While the individual capability of these resources to provide grid ...

This paper proposes distributed algorithms for control and coordination of loads and distributed energy resources (DERs) in distribution networks. These algorithms are relevant for load curtailment control in demand response ...

We consider networks the nodes of which are interconnected via directed edges, each able to admit a flow within a certain interval, with nonnegative end points that correspond to lower and upper flow limits. The paper ...

In this paper, we propose a distributed algorithm that relies on a strongly connected (but possibly directed) communication topology to achieve admissible and balanced flows in a given network. More specifically, we consider ...

We address the problem of frequency regulation in islanded ac microgrids with no inertia, i.e., those consisting entirely of generators interfaced through power electronics. The control architecture we propose to achieve ...

We propose a class of distributed iterative algorithms that enable the asymptotic scaling of a primitive column stochastic matrix, with a given sparsity structure, to a doubly stochastic form. We also demonstrate the ...

We address the average consensus problem for a distributed system whose components (nodes) can exchange information via interconnections (links) that form an arbitrary, strongly connected but possibly directed, topology ...

We address the average-consensus problem for a distributed system whose components (nodes) can exchange information via unreliable interconnections (edges) that form an arbitrary, possibly directed topology (digraph). We ...

We consider a networked system in which each component (node) iteratively exchanges information with its neighbors according to an arbitrary, possibly directed topology. Based on an iterative exchange of (local and possibly ...
