We propose the application of occupation measure theory to the classical problem of transient stability analysis for power systems. This enables the computation of certified inner and outer approximations for the region of attraction of a nominal operating point. In order to determine whether a post-disturbance point requires corrective actions to ensure stability, one would then simply need to check the sign of a polynomial evaluated at that point. Thus, computationally expensive dynamical simulations are only required for post-disturbance points in the region between the inner and outer approximations. We focus on the nonlinear swing equations but voltage dynamics could also be included. The proposed approach is formulated as a hierarchy of semidefinite programs stemming from an infinite-dimensional linear program in a measure space, with a natural dual sum-of-squares perspective. On the theoretical side, this paper lays the groundwork for exploiting the oscillatory structure of power systems by using Hermitian (instead of real) sums-of-squares and connects the proposed approach to recent results from algebraic geometry.

The goal of motion tomography is to recover a description of a vector flow field using information on the trajectory of a sensing unit. In this paper, we develop a predictor corrector algorithm designed to recover vector flow fields from trajectory data with the use of occupation kernels developed by Rosenfeld et al.. Specifically, we use the occupation kernels as an adaptive basis; that is, the trajectories defining our occupation kernels are iteratively updated to improve the estimation on the next stage. Initial estimates are established, then under mild assumptions, such as relatively straight trajectories, convergence is proven using the Contraction Mapping Theorem. We then compare to the established method by Chang et al. by defining a set of error metrics. We found that for simulated data, which provides a ground truth, our method offers a marked improvement and that for a real-world example we have similar results to the established method.
In the paper we provide new conditions ensuring the isolated calmness property and the Aubin property of parameterized variational systems with constraints depending, apart from the parameter, also on the solution itself. Such systems include, e.g., quasi-variational inequalities and implicit complementarity problems. Concerning the Aubin property, possible restrictions imposed on the parameter are also admitted. Throughout the paper, tools from the directional limiting generalized differential calculus are employed enabling us to impose only rather weak (non-restrictive) qualification conditions. Despite the very general problem setting, the resulting conditions are workable as documented by some academic examples
During the last decades, significant advances have been made in the area of power system stability and control. Nevertheless, when this analysis is carried out by means of decentralized conditions in a general network, it has been based on conservative assumptions such as the adoption of lossless networks. In the current paper, we present a novel approach for decentralized stability analysis and control of power grids through the transformation of both the network and the bus dynamics into the system reference frame. In particular, the aforementioned transformation allows us to formulate the network model as an input-output system that is shown to be passive even if the networks lossy nature is taken into account. We then introduce a broad class of bus dynamics that are viewed as multivariable input/output systems compatible with the network formulation, and appropriate passivity conditions are imposed on those that guarantee stability of the power network. We discuss the opportunities and advantages offered by this approach while explaining how this allows the inclusion of advanced models for both generation and power flows. Our analysis is verified through applications to the Two Area Kundur and the IEEE 68-bus test systems with both primary frequency and voltage regulation mechanisms included.
In this paper, we present an approach for designing feedback controllers for polynomial systems that maximize the size of the time-limited backwards reachable set (BRS). We rely on the notion of occupation measures to pose the synthesis problem as an infinite dimensional linear program (LP) and provide finite dimensional approximations of this LP in terms of semidefinite programs (SDPs). The solution to each SDP yields a polynomial control policy and an outer approximation of the largest achievable BRS. In contrast to traditional Lyapunov based approaches which are non-convex and require feasible initialization, our approach is convex and does not require any form of initialization. The resulting time-varying controllers and approximated reachable sets are well-suited for use in a trajectory library or feedback motion planning algorithm. We demonstrate the efficacy and scalability of our approach on five nonlinear systems.
This paper develops computable metrics to assign priorities for information collection on network systems made up by binary components. Components are worth inspecting because their condition state is uncertain and the system functioning depends on it. The Value of Information (VoI) allows assessing the impact of information in decision making under uncertainty, including the precision of the observation, the available actions and the expected economic loss. Some VoI-based metrics for system-level and component-level maintenance actions, defined as global and local metrics, respectively, are introduced, analyzed and applied to series and parallel systems. Their computationally complexity of applications to general networks is discussed and, to tame the complexity for the local metric assessment, a heuristic is presented and its performance is compared on some case studies.
