Attack Resilient Interconnected Second Order Systems: A Game-Theoretic Approach
Mohammad Pirani, Joshua A. Taylor, Bruno Sinopoli
This paper studies the resilience of second-order networked dynamical systems to strategic attacks. We discuss two widely used control laws, which have applications in power networ…
Cooperative Vehicle Speed Fault Diagnostics and Correction
Mohammad Pirani, Ehsan Hashemi, Amir Khajepour +3
Reliable estimation (or measurement) of vehicle states has always been an active topic of research in the automotive industry and academia. Among the vehicle states, vehicle speed…
System-Theoretic Performance Metrics for Low-Inertia Stability of Power Networks
Mohammad Pirani, John W. Simpson-Porco, Baris Fidan
As bulk synchronous generators in the power grid are replaced by distributed generation interfaced through power electronics, inertia is removed from the system, prompting concerns…
A Graph Theoretic Approach to the Robustness of k-Nearest Neighbor Vehicle Platoons
Mohammad Pirani, Ehsan Hashemi, John W. Simpson-Porco +2
We consider a graph theoretic approach to the performance and robustness of a platoon of vehicles, where each vehicle communicates with its -nearest neighbors. In particular, we…
Robustness of Leader-Follower Networked Dynamical Systems
Mohammad Pirani, Ebrahim Moradi Shahrivar, Baris Fidan +1
We present a graph-theoretic approach to analyzing the robustness of leader-follower consensus dynamics to disturbances and time delays. Robustness to disturbances is captured via…
