A Lyapunov framework for nested dynamical systems on multiple time scales with application to converter-based power systems
Irina Subotić, Dominic Groß, Marcello Colombino +1
In this work, we present a Lyapunov framework for establishing stability with respect to a compact set for a nested interconnection of nonlinear dynamical systems ordered from slow…
A tractable formulation for multi-period linearized optimal power flow in presence of thermostatically controlled loads
Emilio Benenati, Marcello Colombino, Emiliano Dall'Anese
This paper presents a convex reformulation of a nonlinear constrained optimization problem for Markov decision processes, and applies the technical findings to optimal control prob…
Towards robustness guarantees for feedback-based optimization
Marcello Colombino, John W. Simpson-Porco, Andrey Bernstein
Feedback-based online optimization algorithms have gained traction in recent years because of their simple implementation, their ability to reject disturbances in real time, and th…
Sample Complexity of Power System State Estimation using Matrix Completion
Joshua Comden, Marcello Colombino, Andrey Bernstein +1
In this paper, we propose an analytical framework to quantify the amount of data samples needed to obtain accurate state estimation in a power system - a problem known as sample co…
Optimal Rate of Convergence for Quasi-Stochastic Approximation
Andrey Bernstein, Yue Chen, Marcello Colombino +3
The Robbins-Monro stochastic approximation algorithm is a foundation of many algorithmic frameworks for reinforcement learning (RL), and often an efficient approach to solving (or…
Dispatchable Virtual Oscillator Control for Decentralized Inverter-dominated Power Systems: Analysis and Experiments
Gab-Su Seo, Marcello Colombino, Irina Subotić +3
This paper presents an analysis and experimental validation of dispatchable virtual oscillator control (dVOC) for inverter-dominated power systems. dVOC is a promising decentralize…

Structured decentralized control of positive systems with applications to combination drug therapy and leader selection in directed networks
Neil K. Dhingra, Marcello Colombino, Mihailo R. Jovanović
We study a class of structured optimal control problems in which the main diagonal of the dynamic matrix is a linear function of the design variable. While such problems are in gen…
Global phase and magnitude synchronization of coupled oscillators with application to the control of grid-forming power inverters
Marcello Colombino, Dominic Groß, Jean-Sébastien Brouillon +1
In this work, we explore a new approach to synchronization of coupled oscillators. In contrast to the celebrated Kuramoto model we do not work in polar coordinates and do not consi…
On the optimal control problem for a class of monotone bilinear systems
Neil K. Dhingra, Marcello Colombino, Mihailo R. Jovanović +2
We consider a class of monotone systems in which the control signal multiplies the state. Among other applications, such bilinear systems can be used to model the evolutionary dyna…
Mutually Quadratically Invariant Information Structures in Two-Team Stochastic Dynamic Games
