On the relation of powerflow and Telegrapher's equations: continuous and numerical Lyapunov stability

Abstract: In this contribution we analyze the exponential stability of power networks modeled with the Telegrapher's equations as a system of balance laws on the edges. We show the equivalence of periodic solutions of these Telegrapher's equations and solutions to the well-established powerflow equations. In addition we provide a second-order accurate numerical scheme to integrate the powerflow equations and show (up to the boundary conditions) Lyapunov stability of the scheme.
