Blockchain is a distributed accounting system. One of its key issues is how to ensure agreement between distrustful nodes. As an important component of blockchain, consensus algorithm can solve the consistency problem, and its efficiency directly determines the performance of blockchain. Compared with Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS), the existing Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus algorithm improves the efficiency of consensus, but it will face some threats, such as DoS attack and collusion attack, because the mechanism that each witness node takes turns to generate blocks. Therefore, we propose a delegated proof of stake consensus algorithm with dynamic trust, that is, DT-DPoS. We improve an EigenTrust-based trust model and construct an evaluation criterion based on the combination of stake voting and trust value, which improves the reliability of witness nodes and reduces the risk of collusion attacks. At the same time, we use a ring signature scheme, which ensures the privacy and anonymity of witness nodes. Finally, the theoretical analysis shows the effectiveness and scalability of our algorithm.

In this paper, we analyze the decentralization features of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and evaluate the limitations of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) benefits in this context. Our research explores the essential characteristics of consensus algorithms, including security, finality, and efficiency, for CBDCs and considers the trade-off between transaction throughput and decentralization. After examining various options, we conclude that Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) are unsuitable for CBDCs. However, Proof of Authority (PoA), Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), and Notary Services are promising alternatives. Our findings reveal that while CBDCs possess some decentralization components in their architecture, they still maintain political and logical centralization due to regulation by the Central Bank. Consequently, CBDCs can only partially leverage all the benefits of DLT, such as the ability to withstand challenges, which still depend on the Central Bank as the sole point of failure. This paper aims to equip policymakers with valuable insights to make informed decisions regarding the design of CBDC consensus algorithms.

In a next generation power system, effective distributed control algorithms could be embedded in distributed controllers to properly allocate electrical power among connected buses autonomously. In this paper, we present a novel approach to solve the economic dispatch problem. By selecting the incremental cost of each generation unit as the consensus variable, the algorithm is able to solve the conventional centralized control problem in a distributed manner. The row-stochastic matrices have been used to indicate the different topologies of distribution systems and their configuration properties, such as convergence speeds. The simulation results of several case studies are provided to verify the algorithm.

Power control in household devices are needed to avoid trip conditions on electric current. One of the power controls is the control of the water pump. Often, water pumps installed in one house are more than one. To overcome these problems, it is necessary to design an algorithm to coordinate each of the water pumps. In this study, the consensus algorithm is designed to coordinate the water pumps used. The algorithm is used to generate reference signals for each agent (water pump). Integral Sliding Mode Current Control (ISMCC) and PI Controller is used as local controller. ISMCC is inner-loop current controller and PI is outer-loop power controller. The simulation result shows that power response of each agent is able to follow reference signal from consensus algorithm even though any unknown pump parameters. However, overshoot of the total power is more than 5%.

A large number of consensus algorithms have been proposed. However, the requirement of strict consistency limits their wide adoption, especially in high-performance required systems. In this paper, we propose a weak consensus algorithm that only maintains the consistency of relative positions between the messages. We apply this consensus algorithm to construct a high-performance blockchain system, called Sphinx. We implement the system with 32k+ lines of code including all components like consensus/P2P/ledger/etc. The evaluations show that Sphinx can reach a peak throughput of 43k TPS (with 8 full nodes), which is significantly faster than current blockchain systems such as Ethereum given the same experimental environment. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first weak consensus algorithm with a fully implemented blockchain system.

In recent years, user-side energy storage has developed rapidly and is widely used to save electricity costs for industrial and commercial users. Compared with source-side and grid-side centralised energy storage, user-side energy storage is more decentralised, with smaller single capacity and larger quantity, which is not easy to carry out centralised regulation and control. In contrast, the distributed control method has the characteristics of strong control robustness and stability, which is more suiTABLE as the SOC coordinated control of a large number of distributed energy storage. In this paper, a distributed energy storage SOC coordinated control algorithm based on improved consensus algorithm is designed, which can achieve SOC consensus control of multiple user-side energy storage, and compared with the centralised control scheme, it has the features of small computation amount of the central controller and strong robustness of the controller. Simulation results show that the distributed energy storage SOC coordinated control algorithm based on the improved consensus algorithm designed in this paper can effectively achieve the consistent control of multiple user-side energy storage in the station area.

In this paper, we study a consensus problem for multi-agent systems via dynamic output feedback control. The entire system is decentralized in the sense that each agent can only obtain output information from its neighbor agents. In contrast to the existing graph Laplacian based algorithm, we propose to reduce the consensus problem on hand to solving a strict matrix inequality using appropriate coordinate transformation, and also propose a homotopy-based method for solving the matrix inequality. It turns out that our algorithm includes the existing graph Laplacian based algorithm as a special case, and can deal with various additional control requirements such as convergence rate specification and actuator limitations.

In this paper, we focus on the design of consensus algorithms for permission-based blockchains, i.e., private blockchains. In most consensus algorithms, blocks are proposed by a specific role called "leader". hi this paper, we introduce a new role called "witness" to supervise the leader. The presence of the witness facilitates the design of the consensus algorithm. We propose a witness-based consensus algorithm that guarantees safety and liveness. We implemented this consensus algorithm on Go Ethereum. The experimental result shows that in a blockchain where four nodes participate in the consensus process, we can achieve a throughput of 1000 transactions per second (TPS). Even if these four nodes are located on different continents, and one of them is faulty, we can still achieve a throughput of 300 TPS. Finally, we find that during the experiment, a significant portion of time (>50%) is spent on activities other than the consensus task. The result suggests that to further increase the throughput of a private blockchain, the consensus task and non-consensus activities should be considered jointly.

We are presenting a distributed algorithm for tracking a moving target using mobile robots, each equipped with sensors. In this work, to cope with the constraints on the noise and states of the target, we employ a distributed estimation algorithm which is based on the concept of moving horizon estimation (MHE). A consensus process in this algorithm guarantees all the mobile robots asymptotically converge to a common value for the estimate of the moving target states. Furthermore, the movement decision of the mobile robots is based on the flocking algorithm.
