This study introduces a new method to identify parameters of synchronous oscillations (SO) and sub/super synchronous oscillations (Sub/Sup-SO) in power grids. The novel approach accurately detects these oscillations even when they occur simultaneously or are closely spaced.
Area of Science:
- Electrical Engineering
- Power Systems Analysis
- Signal Processing
Background:
- Increasing renewable energy and power electronics lead to more frequent synchronous oscillations (SO) in power grids.
- Sub/Super synchronous oscillations (Sub/Sup-SO) pose challenges for accurate parameter identification due to their simultaneous occurrence.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a novel method for accurate parameter identification of Sub/Sup-SO components.
- To address the challenges posed by simultaneous and closely spaced Sub/Sup-SO events.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the Rife-Vincent window and discrete Fourier transform (DFT) simultaneously.
- Integrated a tri-spectral interpolation algorithm with the Rife-Vincent window to mitigate spectral leakage and fence effect.
- Employed phasor measurement unit (PMU) data for parameter identification (damping ratio, frequency, amplitude, phase).
Main Results:
- The proposed algorithm accurately identifies parameters of multiple Sub/Sup-SO components, including closely spaced ones.
- Demonstrated high identification accuracy under complex conditions like parameter variations, non-nominal frequency, and noise.
- Outperformed existing methods in identification accuracy, bandwidth, and adaptability based on synthetic and real data.
Conclusions:
- The novel method effectively identifies Sub/Sup-SO parameters, enhancing power grid stability analysis.
- The integration of Rife-Vincent window and tri-spectral interpolation offers robust performance against signal complexities.
- This approach provides a significant advancement for monitoring and mitigating oscillation issues in modern power systems.
