This work addresses the problem of transient stabilization of a power grid, following a destabilizing disturbance. The model considered is the cascade interconnection of seven New England test models with the disturbance (e.g., a powerline…
Ad hoc electrical networks are formed by connecting power sources and loads without planning the interconnection structure (topology) in advance. They are designed to be installed and operated by individual communities---without central…

Traditionally, power system operations use a static network to deliver power and meet demand optimally. Network topology reconfiguration through transmission switching (TS) has gained significant interest recently to reduce the operational…
During the normal operation of a power system all the voltages and currents are sinusoids with a frequency of 60 Hz in America and parts of Asia, or of 50Hz in the rest of the world. Forcing all the currents and voltages to be sinusoids…
Power systems are getting more complex than ever and are consequently operating close to their limit of stability. Moreover, with the increasing demand of renewable wind generation, and the requirement to maintain a secure power system, the…

Grid-forming (GFM) capability requirements are increasingly imposed on grid-connected voltage-source converters (VSCs). Under large grid disturbances, GFM-VSCs need to remain stable while providing GFM services. Yet, such objectives, as…
