Traditionally, inertia in power systems has been determined by considering all the rotating
masses directly connected to the grid. During the last decade, the integration of renewable …

Historically, centrally computed algorithms have been the primary means of power system
optimization and control. With increasing penetrations of distributed energy resources …

The electric power system is currently undergoing a period of unprecedented changes.
Environmental and sustainability concerns lead to replacement of a significant share of …

Synchronization in a network of connected elements is essential to the proper functioning of
both natural and engineered systems and is thus of increasing interest across disciplines. In …

In this paper, the distributed resource allocation optimization problem is investigated. The
allocation decisions are made to minimize the sum of all the agents' local objective functions …

Modeled after the hierarchical control architecture of power transmission systems, a layering
of primary, secondary, and tertiary control has become the standard operation paradigm for …

Distribution networks are usually multiphase and radial. To facilitate power flow computation
and optimization, two semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxations of the optimal power flow …

This paper develops a droop-based distributed cooperative control scheme for microgrids
under a switching communication network with non-uniform time-varying delays. We first …

We present a systematic method to design ubiquitous continuous fast-acting distributed load
control for primary frequency regulation in power networks, by formulating an optimal load …

Dynamic load altering attacks (D-LAAs) are introduced as a new class of cyber-physical
attacks against smart grid demand response programs. The fundamental characteristics of D …
