Description
Summary:This paper proposes peer-to-peer distributed algorithms for locally determining global power system quantities—specifically the total inertia and average frequency—which are critical for wide-area monitoring and control. These algorithms use a network of distributed measurement units that communicate locally, based on the push-sum protocol, to compute global information without centralized coordination. Applied to the large-scale European power system, these methods demonstrate an effective performance across varying time scales and system sizes, offering technical and economic advantages over centralized approaches.
