Title: Information flow in event-driven large-scale systems

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6852094

To bring into sharp focus the issues of real-time communication and coordination of distributed estimation and control agents, we concentrated our investigations on the class of event-driven stochastic systems. These systems are hybrid-state dynamical systems, whose state description consists of a control and operation related to emergency control, stability analysis, restorative control and security assessment. Thus the study of event-driven systems represented an important area for basic research in the design of distributed estimation and control algorithms for power systems operation. By focusing on event-driven systems, our research was able to examine explicitly the design and performance of different organizational structures, with variations in information aggregation strategies, event-directed communications and event-directed distributed control.
