In modern electric power networks with fast evolving operational conditions, assessing the impact of contingencies is becoming more and more crucial. Contingencies of interest can be roughly classified into nodal power disturbances and line faults. Despite their higher relevance, line contingencies have been significantly less investigated analytically than nodal disturbances. The main reason for this is that nodal power disturbances are additive perturbations, while line contingencies are…

Locating line and node disturbances in networks of diffusively coupled dynamical agents

A wide variety of natural and human-made systems consist of a large set of dynamical units coupled into a complex structure. Breakdown of such systems can have a dramatic impact, as in the case of…

Local Vulnerabilities and Global Robustness of Coupled Dynamical Systems on Complex Networks

This thesis investigates the robustness of complex network-coupled oscillators and proposes frameworks to assess vulnerabilities of such synchronous states to external perturbations, finding that both local vulnerabilities and global robustness are accurately evaluated with resistance centralities and Kirchhoff indices.

Detecting and Locating Disturbances in High Voltage Electrical Networks

A simple method to identify and locate disturbances in the power grid, relying only on voltage phases measurements and on the knowledge of the Kron-reduced network structure is proposed.

Inertia location and slow network modes determine disturbance propagation in large-scale power grids

This model of the high voltage synchronous grid of continental Europe shows that, beyond absorbing frequency disturbances following nearby faults, inertia also mitigates frequency disturbances from distant power losses, provided both the fault and the inertia are located on the support of the slowest modes of the grid Laplacian.

Performance Measures in Electric Power Networks Under Line Contingencies

A network-reduced power system, where a Kron reduction has eliminated passive buses, is considered, and it is found that performance measures depend on whether the faulted line connects two passive, two active buses, or one active to one passive bus.

Optimal Placement of Virtual Inertia in Power Grids

This paper considers a linear network-reduced power system model along with an $\mathscr {H}_2$ performance metric accounting for the network coherency and provides a set of closed-form global optimality results for particular problem instances as a computational approach resulting in locally optimal solutions.

The Price of Synchrony: Evaluating the Resistive Losses in Synchronizing Power Networks

The resistive power losses that are incurred in keeping a network of synchronous generators in a synchronous state are investigated and it is shown that the price of synchrony is more dependent on a network's size than its topology.

A new model for the study of power system stability via Lyapunov functions is proposed. The key feature of the model is an assumption of frequency-dependent load power, rather than the usual…

Performance Measures for Linear Oscillator Networks Over Arbitrary Graphs

The theory is applied to two applications; the evaluation of transient real power losses in power grids and the characterization of coherence for a certain class of vehicle platoons with relative and absolute velocity feedback.

Robustness of Synchrony in Complex Networks and Generalized Kirchhoff Indices.

This work finds that for specific, nonaveraged perturbations, the response of synchronous states depends on the eigenvalues of the stability matrix of the unperturbed dynamics, as well as on its eigenmodes via their overlap with the perturbation vector, and introduces new graph topological indices, which are introduced as generalized Kirchhoff indices.

Fundamental Limits and Tradeoffs on Disturbance Propagation in Linear Dynamical Networks

A graph-theoretic methodology is developed to relate structural specifications of the coupling graph of a linear consensus network to its performance measure and finds some of the inherent fundamental tradeoffs between notions of sparsity and performance in linear consensus networks.

Coherence in Large-Scale Networks: Dimension-Dependent Limitations of Local Feedback

It is shown that it is impossible to have large coherent 1-D vehicular platoons with only local feedback, and that in low spatial dimensions, local feedback is unable to regulate large-scale disturbances, but it can in higher spatial dimensions.

Design of Optimal Sparse Interconnection Graphs for Synchronization of Oscillator Networks

The optimal design of a conductance network as a means for synchronizing a given set of oscillators is studied and convexity of the optimization problem is established and the design problem can be formulated as a semidefinite program.
