      Decentralized optimal dispatch of distributed energy resources 

      Domínguez-Garcia, A. D.; Cady, S. T.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2012)
      In this paper, we address the problem of optimally dispatching a set of distributed energy resources (DERs) without relying on a centralized decision maker. We consider a scenario where each DER can provide a certain ...

      Distributed frequency control of inertia-less AC microgrids 

      Cady, S. T.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Domínguez-Garcia, A. D. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015)
      In this paper, we introduce a generation control architecture for microgrids that ensures stable and synchronized operation at a specific frequency. We also propose a distributed implementation of this architecture that ...

      A Distributed Frequency Regulation Architecture for Islanded Inertialess AC Microgrids 

      Cady, S. T.; Zholbaryssov, M.; Domínguez-Garcia, A. D.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2017)
      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 ...

      A distributed generation control architecture for islanded ac microgrids 

      Cady, S. T.; Domínguez-Garcia, A. D.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2015)
      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, ...

      Finite-time approximate consensus and its application to distributed frequency regulation in islanded AC microgrids 

      Cady, S. T.; Domínguez-Garcia, A. D.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (IEEE Computer Society, 2015)
      In this paper, we propose an iterative algorithm that allows a set of interconnected nodes to reach approximate consensus in a finite number of steps, i.e., Allows the nodes to reach agreement to within a pre-specified ...

      Robust implementation of distributed algorithms for control of distributed energy resources 

      Cady, S. T.; Domínguez-Garcia, A. D.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2011)
      This paper discusses the hardware implementation of distributed control strategies that could be used to enable the utilization of distributed energy resources for the provision of grid support services. Although the ...

      Small inverter-interfaced distributed energy resources for reactive power support 

      Domínguez-Garcia, A. D.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Krein, P. T.; Cady, S. T. (2011)
      The use of small inverter-interfaced distributed energy resources for reactive power support is discussed. While the primary function of these resources is to deliver active power, they can also be used to provide reactive ...
