Recent works have shown that networks of voltagesource
inverters implementing frequency droop control may be
analyzed as consensus-like networks. Based on this understanding,
we show that enforcement of network line power flows
can be viewed as an edge-preservation problem in a -disk
dynamic interaction graph. Inspired by other works solving
similar problems in other domains, we propose a line weighted
frequency droop controller such that a network of all active
buses implementing this controller enforces the specified line
power flow constraints without need for communication. We
provide simulation results verifying that our proposed controller
limits line power to enforce constraints, and otherwise acts as a
traditional droop controller.
