Passivity-Based Stabilisation and Coordination in Networked Multi-Energy Systems (Albertus Johannes Malan)

This work proposes nonlinear controllers for achieving decentralised stabilisation and distributed coordination in networked multi-energy systems comprising gas and power networks. Asymptotic stability is ensured in each case using equilibrium-independent passivity theory. This approach yields nonlinear system stability results that depend only on the properties of the components, while being topology independent and allowing arbitrary network sizes and combinations.
