Most of the existing control schemes for power systems ensure stability only in the presence of constant loads and renewable energy sources. Motivated then by the inadequacy of the existing control strategies for power systems affected by time-varying loads and renewable energy sources, this article proposes two control schemes based on the well-known output regulation control methodology. The first one is designed based on the classical output regulation theory and addresses the so-called load frequency control (LFC) problem in the presence of time-varying uncontrolled power injections. Then, in order to also minimize the generation costs, we use an approximate output regulation method that solves numerically only the partial differential equation of the regulator equation and propose a controller based on this solution, minimizing an appropriate penalty function. An extensive case study shows the excellent performance of the proposed control schemes in realistic and critical scenarios.

Event-triggered controllers are well known for guaranteeing the desired stability for a sampled-data system with minimum resource utilization. Over the past decade, the study has revealed that the overall performance improvement for a sampled-data system can be achieved by replacing the time-based sampling with an event-triggered one. The design of sliding mode control (SMC) in the event-triggering framework has also shown similar outcomes, especially for uncertain systems. There are different design strategies for event-triggered SMC available in the literature for networked dynamical systems that are potentially affected by uncertainties and transmission delays. The purpose of this survey article is to present the state of the art on event-triggered SMC and familiarize the readers with the design techniques with their pros and cons, since this will be very helpful to the researchers and engineers for implementing SMC using event-based feedback strategies.

This paper deals with a class of Resistive-Inductive-Capacitive (RLC) circuits and switched RLC (s-RLC) circuits modeled in Brayton Moser framework. For this class of systems, new passivity properties using a Krasovskii's type Lyapunov function as storage function are presented. Consequently, the supply-rate is a function of the system states, inputs and their first time derivatives. Moreover, after showing the integrability property of the port-variables, two simple control methodologies called output shaping and input shaping are proposed for regulating the voltage in RLC and s-RLC circuits. Global asymptotic convergence to the desired operating point is theoretically proved for both proposed control methodologies. Moreover, robustness with respect to load uncertainty is ensured by the input shaping methodology. The applicability of the proposed methodologies is illustrated by designing voltage controllers for DC-DC converters and DC networks.

In this letter, we consider the problem of regulating the voltage of an islanded Direct Current (DC) network subject to (i) unknown ZIP-loads, i.e., nonlinear loads with the parallel combination of constant impedance (Z), current (I) and power (P) components, and (ii) unknown time-varying disturbances. Using the port-Hamiltonian framework, two decentralized passivity-based control schemes are designed. It is shown that, using the proposed controllers, the desired equilibrium is exponentially stable and local input-to-state stable (LISS) with respect to unknown time-varying disturbances.

In this letter, we propose a novel control scheme for regulating the voltage in Direct Current (DC) networks. More precisely, the proposed control scheme is based on the output regulation methodology and, differently from the results in the literature, where the loads are assumed to be constant, we consider time-varying loads whose dynamics are described by a class of nonlinear differential equations. We prove that the proposed control scheme achieves voltage regulation ensuring the stability of the overall network.

In this paper we present new (stochastic) passivity properties for Direct Current (DC) power networks, where the unknown and unpredictable load demand is modelled by a stochastic process. More precisely, the considered power network consists of distributed generation units supplying ZIP loads, i.e., nonlinear loads comprised of impedance (Z), current (I) and power (P) components. Differently from the majority of the results in the literature, where each of these components is assumed to be constant, we consider time-varying loads whose dynamics are described by a class of stochastic differential equations. Finally, we prove that an existing distributed control scheme achieving current sharing and (average) voltage regulation ensures the asymptotic stochastic stability of the controlled network.

This paper deals with the design of a robust and decentralized passivity-based control scheme for regulating the voltage of a DC microgrid through boost converters. A Krasovskii-type storage function is proposed and a (local) passivity property for DC microgrids comprising unknown ZIP (constant impedance ‘Z’, constant current ‘I’ and constant power ‘P’) loads is established. More precisely, the input portvariable of the corresponding passive map is equal to the first-time derivative of the control input. Then, the integrated input port-variable is used to shape the closed loop storage function such that it has a minimum at the desired equilibrium point. Convergence to the desired equilibrium is theoretically analyzed and the proposed control scheme is validated through experiments on a real DC microgrid.

In this paper, a novel distributed control strategy achieving (feasible) current sharing and voltage regulation in Direct Current (DC) microgrids is proposed. Firstly, the (convex) optimization problem is formulated, with the microgrid’s steady state equations and/or desired objectives as feasible set. Secondly, we design a controller, the (unforced) dynamics of which represent the continuous time primal-dual dynamics of the considered optimization problem. Then, a passive interconnection between the physical plant and the controller is presented. Furthermore, global asymptotic convergence of the closed-loop system to the desired steady-state is proved and simulations successfully confirm the theoretical results.

We consider the charge scheduling coordination of a fleet of plug-in electric vehicles, developing a hybrid decision-making framework for efficient and profitable usage of the distribution grid. Each charging dynamics, affected by the aggregate behavior of the whole fleet, is modelled as an inter-dependent, mixed-logical-dynamical system. The coordination problem is formalized as a generalized mixed-integer aggregative potential game, and solved via semi-decentralized implementation of a sequential best-response algorithm that leads to an approximated equilibrium of the game.

In this paper we propose a new passivity-based control technique for DC power networks comprising the so-called ZIP-loads, i.e., nonlinear loads with the parallel combination of unknown constant impedance (Z), current (I) and power (P) components. More precisely, we propose a novel passifying input and a storage function based on the so-called mixed potential function introduced by Brayton and Moser, leading to a novel passivity property with output port-variable equal to the first time derivative of the voltage. Differently from the existing results in the literature, where restrictive (sufficient) conditions on Z, P and the voltage reference are assumed to be satisfied, we establish a passivity property for every positive voltage reference and every type of load. Consequently, we develop a new decentralized passivity-based control scheme that is robust with respect to the uncertainty affecting the ZIP-loads.

In the present paper a decentralized control scheme that relies on sliding mode (SM) and high gain control methodologies to regulate the load voltage in buck-based islanded direct current (DC) microgrids is designed. First, the model of a buck-based islanded DC microgrid consisting of several Distributed Generation units interconnected through an arbitrary complex and meshed topology including rings is introduced. More precisely, the topology of the power network is represented by its corresponding incidence matrix, and in the model the power lines dynamics is considered. Moreover, it is assumed that the microgrid is affected by unknown load demand and unavoidable modelling uncertainties. A mixed strategy, employing both a third-order sliding mode (3-SM) control algorithm and a high gain control strategy, with a fuzzy scheduling is designed to solve the voltage control problem in a decentralized manner. Specifically, the high-gain control reduces the stress on the generator during abrupt reference changes, the 3-SM guarantees finite-time voltage regulation and strong robustness with respect to load variations. Fuzzy scheduling merges the two strategies. Finally, detailed simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

In this paper we propose a new distributed passivity-based control scheme, achieving proportional (fair) current sharing and average voltage regulation in Direct Current (DC) power networks, with an arbitrary topology. The considered DC network is composed of several Distributed Generation Units (DGUs) interconnected through resistive-inductive power lines. Each DGU includes a generic energy source that supplies an unknown constant impedance load through a DC-DC buck converter. The proposed distributed control scheme achieves current sharing and average voltage regulation, independently of the initial condition of the controlled network, facilitating Plug-and-Play capabilities. Moreover, the proposed control strategy exploits a communication network to achieve current sharing using a consensuslike protocol. Global convergence to a desired steady state is proven and simulations show satisfactory performance.

This paper proposes a decentralized Second Order Sliding Mode (SOSM) control strategy for Load Frequency Control (LFC) in power networks, regulating the frequency and maintaining the net inter-area power flows at their scheduled values. The considered power network is partitioned into control areas, where each area is modelled by an equivalent generator including second-order turbine-governor dynamics, and where the areas are nonlinearly coupled through the power flows. Asymptotic convergence to the desired state is established by constraining the state of the power network on a suitably designed sliding manifold. This manifold is designed relying on stability considerations made on the basis of an incremental energy (storage) function. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.

In this paper we study a distributed control scheme, achieving current sharing and average voltage regulation in Direct Current (DC) microgrids. The considered DC microgrid is composed of several Distributed Generation Units (DGUs) interconnected, through resistive-inductive power lines, with loads. Each DGU includes a generic energy source that supplies the loads through a DC-DC buck converter. Remarkably, the proposed control scheme achieves average voltage regulation without the need of voltage measurements. An experimental validation is performed to assess the capabilities of the solution in a real network. The initial results are promising and show an additional need to compensate for partly unknown resistances present at the DGUs.

This paper proposes a distributed sliding mode (SM) control strategy for optimal load frequency control (OLFC) in power networks, where besides frequency regulation, minimization of generation costs is also achieved (economic dispatch). We study a nonlinear power network of interconnected (equivalent) generators, including voltage and second-order turbine-governor dynamics. The turbine-governor dynamics suggest the design of a sliding manifold such that the turbine-governor system enjoys a suitable passivity property, once the sliding manifold is attained. This paper offers a new perspective on OLFC by means of SM control, and in comparison with the existing literature, we relax required dissipation conditions on the generation side and assumptions on the system parameters.
