Percolation and synchronization are two phase transitions that have been extensively
studied since already long ago. A classic result is that, in the vast majority of cases, these …

Bifurcation control deals with modification of bifurcation characteristics of a parameterized
nonlinear system by a designed control input. Typical bifurcation control objectives include …

The aim of this Book is to give an overview, based on the results of nearly three decades of
intensive research, of transient chaos. One belief that motivates us to write this book is that …

The dynamics of power-grid networks is becoming an increasingly active area of research
within the physics and network science communities. The results from such studies are …

Voltage collapse is a problem that may happen when power systems are overloaded. An
accurate estimation of critical operating conditions is necessary to prevent voltage collapses …

Chaotic behavior has been observed in computer simulations for a simple power system
over a range of loading conditions. The existence of the chaos, also called a strange …

A new method is presented for calculating the nose curves and critical loading conditions of
power systems. The nose curve (PV curve), which donates the relationship between total …

Bifurcations occurring in power system models exhibiting voltage collapse have been the
subject of several recent studies. Although such models have been shown to admit a variety …

A novel, accurate, compact, and power-efficient lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery charger designed
to yield maximum capacity, cycle life, and therefore runtime is presented and experimentally …

Active network management (ANM) of electricity distribution networks include many complex
stochastic sequential optimization problems. These problems need to be solved for …
