phase oscillators

Aim. The aim of the study is to formulate an effective model of the power grid, to determine the stable modes of its operation, to identify differences in the considered modes and to test the stability of the system to changes in control parameters, initial conditions and to various types of external influence.

We investigate dynamical states formed in a network of coupled phase oscillators in which strength of interactions between oscillators evolve dynamically depending on their relative phases.

The problem of the dynamics of three coupled self­oscillators and three coupled periodically driven self­oscillators is discussed, in the last case only one of the oscillators is directly exited by the external fore. The regions of complete synchronization, two­, three­and four­frequency tori and chaos are revealed. Three typical situations of synchronization of three self­oscillators by the external driving are found.

Synchronization phenomena are studied in phase dynamics approximation in the periodically driven system of two coupled oscillators. The cases are discussed when the autonomous oscillators demonstrate phase locking or beats with incommensurate frequencies. Lyapunov charts are presented, the possible regimes of dynamics of the driven system are discussed. Different types of two­dimensional tori are revealed and classified.

Synchronization of two reactively coupled van der Pol oscillators with external force is investigated in this paper. We consider and compare quasi-periodic motion of oscillators with frequency-locked mode. The paper includes maps of Lyapunov’s exponents, two-parametric bifurcation diagrams and phase portraits. Possible types of motion in driven system are discussed.
