Presented here is a study of well-posedness and asymptotic stability of a "degenerately damped" PDE modeling a vibrating elastic string. The coefficient of the damping may vanish at small amplitudes thus weakening the effect of the…
We augment existing generator-side primary frequency control with load-side control that are local, ubiquitous, and continuous. The mechanisms on both the generator and the load sides are decentralized in that their control decisions are…
