N2 - In this paper, a novel distributed controller for multimachine power systems is proposed to guarantee grid frequency restoration and accurate real and reactive power sharing among the generator units, while maintaining the generator inputs (mechanical torque and field excitation voltage) within given bounds. The boundedness of the controller outputs (generator inputs) is rigorously proven using vector field theory. It is additionally shown that even if one generator input reaches its upper/lower limit, the remaining units can still accomplish the desired control tasks without modifying the controller structure or dynamics; hence introducing enhanced system resilience using the proposed approach. This has been accomplished in a unified control structure while using neighbour-to-neighbour communication, thus maintaining the distributed nature of the controller. An example of a 10-bus, 4-machine power system is simulated to verify the proposed controller performance under sudden changes of the load demand.
