PhD Thesis (2018)
The main purpose of this thesis is first to understand the dynamics of the grid in presence of decentralized frequency control directly included in the electric devices. We first consider the case of a single power plant and then extend the study to the case of a network. Second, this thesis aims to analyze the propagation of either blackouts or line outages in a situation where the electric consumption is controlled. To these ends, we model a realistic electric power grid using mathematical tools and computational methods.
