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 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 (or weight) within a certain interval, with nonnegative end points that correspond to lower and upper flow limits. ...

In this paper, we propose a distributed architecture for generation control in islanded ac microgrids with both synchronous generators and inverter-interfaced power supplies. Although they are smaller and have lower ratings, ...

We consider a multicomponent system in which each component can receive/transmit information from/to components in its immediate neighborhood. Communication links between components are not required to be bidirectional, ...

We develop and analyze a distributed event-triggered linear iterative algorithm that enables the components of a distributed system, each with some initial value, to reach approximate average consensus on their initial ...

A digraph with positive integer weights on its (directed) edges is weight-balanced if, for each node, the sum of the weights of the incoming edges equals the sum of the weights of the outgoing edges. We develop a distributed ...
