With the increasing penetration of renewable energy resources, power systems confront new challenges in maintaining balance and nominal frequency. This article studies load-side frequency control to handle these challenges. In particular, a fully distributed automatic load (ALC) algorithm, which only needs local measurement communication, is proposed. We prove that algorithm globally converges ...

Rendezvous is a fundamental process in the operation of a Cognitive Radio Network (CRN), through which a secondary user can establish a link to communicate with neighbors on the same frequency band (channel). The licensed spectrum is supposed to be divided into N non-overlapping channels and most previous works assume all users have the same label for the same channel. However, this might be im...

Abstract. Although integrated water resource models are indispensable tools for management at various scales, it is of primary importance to ensure their proper fitting on hydrological variables, avoiding flaws related equifinality. An innovative stepwise methodology therefore proposed, which can be applied any river basin model, from catchment continental scale as far or land surface concerned...

Zonal pricing is a well-suited mechanism to incentivize grid-supporting behavior of profit-maximizing producers and consumers operating on large-scale power system. In zonal electricity markets, local system operators create individual price zones, which provide appropriate signals depending grid conditions such as an excess or shortage electrical energy in certain regions. this paper, real-tim...

This paper develops an improved distributed finite-time control algorithm for multiagent-based ac microgrids with battery energy storage systems (BESSs) utilizing a low-width communication network. The proposed can simultaneously coordinate BESSs to eliminate any deviation from the nominal frequency as well solving state of charge (SoC) balancing problem. stability is established using Lyapunov...
