This paper presents a global tracking passivity-based proportional-integral (PI) control for output voltage regulation of a DC-DC Buck converter. The proposed controller is based on passivity formulation since DC-DC Buck ...

This paper addresses the voltage regulation problem on isolated three-phase microgrids via passivity-based control (PBC) with a proportional regulator under the abc reference frame. This reference frame is employed to ...

This paper addresses the problem of control design for hydro-turbine governing systems with surge tanks from the perspective of standard passivity-based control. The dynamic model of a synchronous machine is considered in ...

This paper addresses the problem of optimal location and sizing of distributed generators (DGs) in direct-current (dc) power grids by using a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) formulation. The reduction of the ...

This paper applies group theory to four classic problems in power distribution systems, namely: phase balancing, primary feeder reconfiguration, optimal tap setting of voltage regulator transformers and optimal placement ...

In this paper a mixed-integer non-linear programming formulation for optimal conductor selection in radial distribution networks is proposed. The objective function in this problem corresponds to the minimization of power ...
