Grid-Coupled Dynamic Response of Battery-Driven Voltage Source Converters
Ciaran Roberts, Jose Daniel Lara, Rodrigo Henriquez-Auba +2
With the increasing interest in converter-fed islanded microgrids, particularly for resilience, it is becoming more critical to understand the dynamical behavior of these systems.…
Wasserstein Distributionally Robust Look-Ahead Economic Dispatch
Bala Kameshwar Poolla, Ashish R. Hota, Saverio Bolognani +2
We consider the problem of look-ahead economic dispatch (LAED) with uncertain renewable energy generation. The goal of this problem is to minimize the cost of conventional energy g…
Quadratic Performance Analysis of Secondary Frequency Controllers
Bala Kameshwar Poolla, John W. Simpson-Porco, Nima Monshizadeh +1
This paper investigates the input-output performance of secondary frequency controllers through the control-theoretic notion of norms. We consider a quadratic objective accou…
Placement and Implementation of Grid-Forming and Grid-Following Virtual Inertia and Fast Frequency Response
Bala Kameshwar Poolla, Dominic Groß, Florian Dörfler
The electric power system is witnessing a shift in the technology of generation. Conventional thermal generation based on synchronous machines is gradually being replaced by power…
Input-Output Performance of Linear-Quadratic Saddle-Point Algorithms with Application to Distributed Resource Allocation Problems
John W. Simpson-Porco, Bala Kameshwar Poolla, Nima Monshizadeh +1
Saddle-point or primal-dual methods have recently attracted renewed interest as a systematic technique to design distributed algorithms which solve convex optimization problems. Wh…
