  Distributed control of microgrid networks THESIS TOPIC PROPOSAL Institute: University of Pannonia computer sciences Doctoral School of Information Science and Technology Thesis supervisor: Attila Magyar co-supervisor: Lőrinc Márton Location of studies (in Hungarian): University of Pannonia, H-8200 Veszprém, Egyetem str. 10., Hungary Abbreviation of location of studies: PE Description of the research topic: Within the framework of this topic, we want to examine the distributed control tasks arising in increasingly widespread microgrid networks. In the framework of our previous and ongoing research on quasi-polynomial and Lotka-Volterra systems [1], we provided an effective solution to the control issues of distributed Lotka-Volterra systems. In the framework of this doctoral topic, we would like to apply and extend this methodology to distributed electrical energy systems, typically microgrid networks. Previous research has shown that, e.g., the dynamic behaviour of node voltages in microgrid networks can be described with the Lotka-Volterra model. The aim of the research topic is to extend the existing results related to optimal control design to microgrid networks that can be modeled with Lotka-Volterra systems. Preliminary results can be found in the following publications: [1] Márton, L., Hangos, K. M., & Magyar, A. (2021). Passivity of Lotka–Volterra and quasi-polynomial systems.
