The transient stability of power systems and synchronization of non-uniform Kuramoto oscillators are closely related problems. In this paper, we develop a novel regional stability analysis framework based on the proposed region-parametrized Lyapunov function to solve the problems. Also, a new synchronization definition is introduced and characterized by frequency boundedness and angle cohesiveness, the latter of which requires angles of any two connected nodes rather than any two arbitrary nodes to stay cohesive. It allows to take power fluctuations into explicit account as disturbances and can lead to less conservative stability condition. Applying the analysis framework, we derive two algebraic stability conditions for power systems that relate the underlying network topology and system parameters to the stability. Finally, to authors best knowledge, we first explicitly give the estimation of region of attraction for power systems. The analysis is verified via numerical simulation showing that two stability conditions can complement each other for predicting the stability.

Small-signal instability of grid-connected power converters may arise when the converters use a phase-locked loop (PLL) to synchronize with a weak grid. Commonly, this stability problem (referred as PLL-synchronization stability in this paper) was studied by employing a single-converter system connected to an infinite bus, which however, omits the impacts of power grid structure and the interactions among multiple converters. Motivated by this, we investigate how the grid structure affects PLL-synchronization stability of multi-converter systems. By using Kron reduction to eliminate the interior nodes, an equivalent reduced network is obtained which contains only the converter nodes. We explicitly show how the Kron-reduced multi-converter system can be decoupled into its modes. This modal representation allows us to demonstrate that the smallest eigenvalue of the grounded Laplacian matrix of the Kron-reduced network dominates the stability margin. We also carry out a sensitivity analysis of this smallest eigenvalue to explore how a perturbation in the original network affects the stability margin. On this basis, we provide guidelines on how to improve the PLL-synchronization stability of multi-converter systems by PLL-retuning, proper placement of converters or enhancing some weak connection in the network. Finally, we validate our findings with simulation results based on a 39-bus test system.
One of the fundamental concerns in the operation of modern power systems is the assessment of their frequency stability in case of inertia-reduction induced by the large share of power electronic interfaced resources. Within this context, the paper proposes a framework that, by making use of linear models of the frequency response of different types of power plants, including also grid--forming and grid-following converters, is capable to infer a numerically tractable dynamical model to be used in frequency stability assessment. Furthermore, the proposed framework makes use of models defined in a way such that their parameters can be inferred from real-time measurements feeding a classical least squares estimator. The paper validates the proposed framework using a full-replica of the dynamical model of the IEEE 39 bus system simulated in a real-time platform.
We show that an introduction of a phase parameter ($alpha$), with $0 le alpha le pi/2$, in the interlayer coupling terms of multiplex networks of Kuramoto oscillators can induce explosive synchronization (ES) in the multiplexed layers. Along with the {alpha} values, the hysteresis width is determined by the interlayer coupling strength and the frequency mismatch between the mirror (inter-connected) nodes. A mean-field analysis is performed to support the numerical results. Similar to the earlier works, we find that the suppression of synchronization is accountable for the origin of ES. The robustness of ES against changes in the network topology and frequency distribution is tested. Finally, taking a suggestion from the synchronized state of the multiplex networks, we extend the results to the classical concept of the single-layer networks in which some specific links are assigned a phase-shifted coupling. Different methods have been introduced in the past years to incite ES in coupled oscillators; our results indicate that a phase-shifted coupling can also be one such method to achieve ES.
For the high-dimensional Kuramoto model with identical oscillators under a general digraph that has a directed spanning tree, although exponential synchronization was proved under some initial state constraints, the exact exponential synchronization rate has not been revealed until now. In this paper, the exponential synchronization rate is precisely determined as the smallest non-zero real part of Laplacian eigenvalues of the digraph. Our obtained result extends the existing results from the special case of strongly connected balanced digraphs to the condition of general digraphs owning directed spanning trees, which is the weakest condition for synchronization from the aspect of network structure. Moreover, our adopted method is completely different from and much more elementary than the previous differential geometry method.
Many coordination phenomena are based on a synchronisation process, whose global behaviour emerges from the interactions among the individual parts. Often in Nature, such self-organising mechanism allows the system to behave as a whole and thus grounding its very first existence, or expected functioning, on such process. There are however cases where synchronisation acts against the stability of the system; for instance in the case of engineered structures, resonances among sub parts can destabilise the whole system. In this Letter we propose an innovative control method to tackle the synchronisation process based on the use of the Hamiltonian control theory, by adding a small control term to the system we are able to impede the onset of the synchronisation. We present our results on the paradigmatic Kuramoto model but the applicability domain is far more large.
