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.

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.

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.

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.

Autonomous agents not only need to make decisions, but also might need to negotiate situations with other autonomous systems and arrange how to proceed. Architecting such systems requires developers to weigh several options and decide, whether a central authority is beneficial or if consensus can be delegated to the agents themselves. We present a decentralized architecture accompanied by a simple consensus algorithm for autonomous agents and demonstrate its application within a simulated traffic system with model cars. We furthermore compare this concept with an older, centralized incarnation, and elaborate advantages and disadvantages.

The possibility of increasing penetration level of grid-interactive microgrids (MGs) has gained a great interest over the past decade. Thus, it is critical to investigate the performance of the MGs under voltage sags, since it may induce instability to the power grid. Negative sequence droop control based voltage support strategy has been proposed to aid MGs riding through three phase asymmetrical voltage sags. However, since the line impedance from each converter to the point of common coupling (PCC) is not identical, both positive sequence and negative sequence output current of the converters cannot be equally shared if no extra current balancing loop is added. Accordingly, a dynamic consensus algorithm (DCA) based negative/positive sequence current sharing scheme is proposed in this paper. Finally, a lab-scale AC microgrid was designed and tested in the lab to validate the feasibility of the proposed control method.

Centralized networks can perform task scheduling readily because they can easily collect system information and manage tasks. However, due to the existence of the central nodes, centralized networks have low fault tolerance. On the contrary, peer-to-peer(P2P) networks have higher fault tolerance, but they do not have global information without central nodes. Therefore, how to schedule tasks in a P2P network has become a problem and a challenge. This paper proposes a consensus algorithm to maintain task information in the P2P network and implements a scheduling system to solve this problem. At the same time, it combines the ease of container deployment and migration to improve the efficiency of task scheduling. Besides, the heartbeat mechanism between nodes achieves fault tolerance for nodes. The system can be used in network environments without central nodes, such as mobile Ad hoc networks.

The blockchain consensus algorithm can be leveraged to enhance IoT security and promote the efficiency of collaboration among IoT nodes. Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) can simultaneously meet the low-cost and high-efficiency requirements and improve the service quality of node collaboration. However, the malicious attacks, selfishness and insufficient enthusiasm of collaborative nodes can affect DPoS consensus process. In view of these challenges, we modify DPoS consensus algorithm, and design a self-selecting abnormal data detection algorithm to identify abnormal data from malicious attacks and selfishness behavior of nodes. Meanwhile, a game theory-based reward and punishment incentive mechanism is proposed to improve the voting enthusiasm of nodes. Simulation results show that the proposed mechanism can effectively reduce the effect of malicious attacks and nodes selfishness in DPoS consensus process.
