By analyzing the physical energy stored in the network and the generators, a port-Hamiltonian representation of the multi-machine system is obtained. Moreover, it is shown that the open-loop system is passive with respect to its steady states which implies that passive controllers can be used to control the multi-machine network. As a special case, a distributed consensus based controller is designed that regulates the frequency and minimizes a global quadratic generation cost in the presence of a constant unknown demand. In addition, the proposed controller allows freedom in choosing any desired connected undirected weighted communication graph.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-03-22T07:11:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "optimal power dispatch", "synchronous machine", "high-dimensional models", "undirected weighted communication graph", "connected undirected weighted communication" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160306688S" } } }
