  |  | Abstract: | Power networks are huge interconnected systems controlled by
  a large number of different control authorities. As the nature of
  power networks is evolving from a hierarchically structured system
  toward a much more decentralized system, the need to adequately
  control the power flows over the network using distributed control
  strategies increases. Currently available distributed control
  methods assume that the various subnetworks that individual control
  agents, i.e., the control authorities, control are usually touching,
  in the sense that the border of one subnetwork is at the same time
  also the border of a neighboring subnetwork. Such touching networks,
  however, do not necessarily capture the subnetwork that an agent can
  influence in the best way. To capture in the best way the subnetwork
  that an agent can influence overlapping subnetworks will usually
have to be defined.  In this chapter, we propose a strategy for
  coordinating multiple control agents that control overlapping
  subnetworks in a network. Simulations are carried out on an adjusted
  IEEE 57-bus power network in which the controlled entities are
  Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) and the
  objective is to improve system security. |
