Robust Microgrid Clustering in a Distribution System With Inverter-Based DERs

TL;DR: From the robustness studies, the best possible microgrid configurations are determined for IEEE 33-bus system having a mix of inverter-based DERs and synchronous generator-basedDERs, and all possible micro grid cluster formations are studied for finding the most robust microgrid islanding strategies.

Time-course window estimator for ordinary differential equations linear in the parameters

TL;DR: It is shown how using window smoothing yields a fast estimator for systems that are linear in the parameters and proved that the proposed estimator is n-consistent, which can serve as a good initial estimate for more efficient estimators.
