Topics These lecture notes are intended primarily for graduate students interested in
network systems, distributed algorithms, and cooperative control. The objective is to answer …

The emergence of synchronization in a network of coupled oscillators is a fascinating
subject of multidisciplinary research. This survey reviews the vast literature on the theory …

Synchronization of power systems is not only a vital issue nowadays, but also of major
importance in the development of future smart grids where high penetration of renewable …

The emergence of synchronization in a network of coupled oscillators is a fascinating topic
in various scientific disciplines. A widely adopted model of a coupled oscillator network is …

Motivated by the recent and growing interest in smart grid technology, we study the
operation of DC/AC inverters in an inductive microgrid. We show that a network of loads and …

An imperative condition for the functioning of a power-grid network is that its power
generators remain synchronized. Disturbances can prompt desynchronization, which is a …

Synchronization of weakly coupled oscillators is ubiquitous in biological and chemical
complex systems. Recently, research on collective dynamics of many-body systems has …

Motivated by recent interest for multiagent systems and smart grid architectures, we discuss
the synchronization problem for the network-reduced model of a power system with …

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 …

This paper analyzes distributed control protocols for first-and second-order networked
dynamical systems. We propose a class of nonlinear consensus controllers where the input …
