The problem of decentralized frequency control in power networks has received an increasing attention in recent years due to its significance in modern power systems and smart grids. Nevertheless, generation dynamics including turbine-governor dynamics, in conjunction with nonlinearities associated with generation and power flow, increase significantly the complexity in the analysis, and are not adequately addressed in the literature. In this paper we show how incremental secant gain conditions can be used in this context to deduce decentralized stability conditions with reduced conservatism. Furthermore, for linear generation dynamics, we establish Popov-like conditions that are able to reduce the conservatism even further by incorporating additional local information associated with the coupling strength among the bus dynamics. Various examples are discussed throughout the paper to demonstrate the significance of the results presented.

This paper considers the phenomenon of distinct regional frequencies recently observed in some power systems. First, a reduced-order mathematical model describing this behaviour is developed. Then, techniques to solve the model are discussed, demonstrating that the post-fault frequency evolution in any given region is equal to the frequency evolution of the Centre Of Inertia plus certain inter-area oscillations. This finding leads to the deduction of conditions for guaranteeing frequency stability in all regions of a power system, a deduction performed using a mixed analytical-numerical approach that combines mathematical analysis with regression methods on simulation samples. The proposed stability conditions are linear inequalities that can be implemented in any optimisation routine allowing the co-optimisation of all existing ancillary services for frequency support: inertia, multi-speed frequency response, load damping and an optimised largest power infeed. This is the first reported mathematical framework with explicit conditions to maintain frequency stability in a power system exhibiting inter-area oscillations in frequency.
In Part I of this paper we have introduced the closed-form conditions for guaranteeing regional frequency stability in a power system. Here we propose a methodology to represent these conditions in the form of linear constraints and demonstrate their applicability by implementing them in a generation-scheduling model. This model simultaneously optimises energy production and ancillary services for maintaining frequency stability in the event of a generation outage, by solving a frequency-secured Stochastic Unit Commitment (SUC). We consider the Great Britain system, characterised by two regions that create a non-uniform distribution of inertia: England in the South, where most of the load is located, and Scotland in the North, containing significant wind resources. Through several case studies, it is shown that inertia and frequency response cannot be considered as system-wide magnitudes in power systems that exhibit inter-area oscillations in frequency, as their location in a particular region is key to guarantee stability. In addition, securing against a medium-sized loss in the low-inertia region proves to cause significant wind curtailment, which could be alleviated through reinforced transmission corridors. In this context, the proposed constraints allow to find the optimal volume of ancillary services to be procured in each region.
This paper studies the graph-theoretic conditions for stability of positive monotone systems. Using concepts from input-to-state stability and network small-gain theory, we first establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the stability of linear positive systems described by Metzler matrices. Specifically, we derive two sets of stability conditions based on two forms of input-to-state stability gains for Metzler systems, namely max-interconnection gains and sum-interconnection gains. Based on the max-interconnection gains, we show that the cyclic small-gain theorem becomes necessary and sufficient for the stability of Metzler systems; based on the sum-interconnection gains, we obtain novel graph-theoretic conditions for the stability of Metzler systems. All these conditions highlight the role of cycles in the interconnection graph and unveil how the structural properties of the graph affect stability. Finally, we extend our results to the nonlinear monotone system and obtain similar sufficient conditions for global asymptotic stability.
We present a gradient-based algorithm for unconstrained minimization derived from iterated linear change of basis. The new method is equivalent to linear conjugate gradient in the case of a quadratic objective function. In the case of exact line search it is a secant method. In practice, it performs comparably to BFGS and DFP and is sometimes more robust.
We consider the problem of ensuring stability in a DC microgrid by means of decentralized conditions. Such conditions are derived which are formulated as input-output properties of locally defined subsystems. These follow from various decompositions of the microgrid and corresponding properties of the resulting representations. It is shown that these stability conditions can be combined together by means of appropriate homotopy arguments, thus reducing the conservatism relative to more conventional decentralized approaches that often rely on a passivation of the bus dynamics. Examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and the applicability of the results derived.
