Abstract:
Synchronization is a phenomenon of the collective behavior of coupled oscillators and involves the detailed interplay of the intrinsic frequencies of the oscillators, the underlying topological features of their interaction network, and external perturbations. In this work we investigate, in the strong coupling regime, the response of a system to external perturbations of its natural frequencies and network modifications. Our investigation relies on two performance measures (one for phases and the other for frequencies) and a spectral perturbation analysis. Given strongly localized perturbations in time, corresponding to the dominant eigenmode of the weighted Laplacian matrix of the network, we present a sufficient condition for the maximization of the system's stability, along with analytical results for the effects of structural perturbations on the system's response. A number of simulations are conducted to illustrate the theory presented.

It is rare nowadays that a whole year goes by without a major earthquake event wreaking havoc somewhere around the world. In some cases, like the 2005 Banda Ache earthquake in Indonesia, the damage involved large geographic areas and casualties in the six figures. In general, the number and intensity of earthquakes is not increasing, however, the vulnerability of the built environment is...

Three-phase wound-rotor synchronous generators are the main source of electrical power worldwide. They require a prime mover and an exciter in order to generate power. The prime mover can be a turbine spun by fluid (gas or liquid), thus the sources of the fluid can be water running off a dam through a long nozzle, steam from water evaporated using burned coal, etc. Most power plants including coal,...
