This achieves coordination of second-order integrator systems through a series connection of first-order conventional consensus protocols, and has been theoretically shown to have advantageous stability and performance properties. We implement this protocol on a vehicl

The pending ecological crisis has ushered in a need to rethink how electricity is produced and consumed, which in turn will require new ways of maintaining system balance. One solution that has gained traction over the past decade is the idea of user flexibility. User flexibility is by some deemed integral to the transition towards a low-carbon society and to the decarbonization agenda, and its inThe pending ecological crisis has ushered in a need to rethink how electricity is produced andconsumed, which in turn will require new ways of maintaining system balance.
