Improving the small-signal stability of a stochastic power system
Algorithms and mathematical analysis
Tools and analysis for improving the small-signal stability of a stochastic power system by optimal power dispatch in each short time horizon, such as five-minute intervals, are provided in this paper. An objective function which characterizes the maximal exit probability from th

Serious fluctuations caused by disturbances may lead to instability of power systems. With the disturbance modeled by a Brownian motion process, the fluctuations are often described by the asymptotic variance at the invariant probability distribution of an associated Gaussian sto

The synchronization of power generators is an important condition for the proper functioning of a power system, in which the fluctuations in frequency and the phase angle differences between the generators are sufficiently small when subjected to stochastic disturbances. Serious

We aim to increase the ability of coupled phase oscillators to maintain synchronization when the system is affected by stochastic disturbances. We model the disturbances by Gaussian noise and use the mean first hitting time when the state hits the boundary of a secure domain, tha

The synchronization stability of a complex network system of coupled phase oscillators is discussed. In case the network is affected by disturbances, a stochastic linearized system of the coupled phase oscillators may be used to determine the fluctuations of phase differences in

Stochastic control issues of a general character are presented. Problems of control theory are mentioned which require research interest the coming years. A general method for sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of an optimal control law is discussed. The framew

The study of control of stochastic systems requires knowledge of probability and of stochastic processes. Probability is summarized in this chapter in a way which is sufficient for studying the control and system theory of the subsequent chapters. Additional concepts and results

Matrix Equations
The Lyapunov equation and the algebraic Riccati equation are treated in depth. The Lyapunov equation arises as the equation for the asymptotic covariance matrix of the state of a stationary Gaussian system. The algebraic Riccati equation arises in the Kalman filter, in stochastic

State-Variance Matrices
Concepts and results of the geometric structure of the set of state-variance matrices of a time-invariant Gaussian system are provided in this chapter. With respect to a condition, the set is convex with a minimal and a maximal element. In case the noise variance matrix satisfies

Filter problems are formulated for stochastic systems which are not Gaussian systems. Both the estimation problem, the sequential estimation problem, and the filter problem are treated. A sufficient condition for the existence of a finite-dimensional filter system is formulated.

The weak stochastic realization problem is to determine all stochastic systems whose output equals a considered output process in terms of its finite-dimensional distributions. Such a system is then said to be a stochastic realization of the considered output process. The problem

Optimal stochastic control problems are considered for a time-invariant stochastic control system with partial observations on an infinite horizon. Such problems can be solved by a dynamic programming method for partial observations. Both the average cost and the discounted cost

A stochastic control problem is to determine a control law within a rather general set of control laws such that the closed-loop system meets prespecified control objectives. A stochastic control problem is motivated by control problem of engineering, economics, or other areas of

In stochastic control with partial observations, the control law at any time can depend only on the past outputs and the past inputs of the stochastic control system. Neither is available to the control law in the current state nor the past states. Control theory for stochastic s

Positive Matrices
This chapter concerns positive matrices which are matrices with elements of the positive real numbers. The motivations for the inclusion of the algebraic structure of positive matrices are the problems (1) of stability of the system of probability measures of the Markov process o

Optimal stochastic control problems are formulated for a stochastic control system with complete observations on a finite horizon. Dynamic programming yields necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality rather than local optimality conditions as provided by methods based on

A stochastic system (without input) is a mathematical model of a dynamic phenomenon exhibiting uncertain signals. Such a system is mathematically characterized by the transition map from the current state to the joint probability distribution of the next state and the current out

Covariance Functions and Dissipative Systems
The concept of a dissipative system is defined for a deterministic linear system and is satisfied if there exists a storage function and a supply rate such that the dissipation inequality holds. It is proven that a deterministic linear system is dissipative if and only if a relat

Stochastic Processes
Specialized topics on the theory of stochastic processes are described which are used in the body of this book. Defined are a filtration and stochastic processes relative to a filtration. Elementary martingale theory is discussed. Stopping times and a stochastic process indexed b
