Estimating electromechanical oscillation modes from synchrophasor measurements in China Southern Power Grid

摘要

This paper proposes a generalized inverse and mode assurance criterion based stochastic subspace identification (GMSSI) method to improve the electromechanical mode estimation efficiency in China Southern Power Grid (CSG). Stochastic subspace identification (SSI) is first employed to estimate the state subspace model of power system from synchrophasor measurements. Then, a model order determination criterion is proposed to estimate the model order and the state matrix of power system is obtained. To accurately separate the electromechanical modes from trivial modes, the generalized inverse of SSI is used to estimate another state matrix. Further, the mode filtering and mode assurance criterion (MAC) are developed to distinguish the electromechanical modes. Simulation data and field-measurement data from CSG are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed GMSSI method. The comparison between existing measurement-based mode estimation methods and the proposed GMSSI demonstrates that the proposed GMSSI exhibits highly accurate, efficient and robust performance in estimating electromechanical modes from both ringdown and ambient data in bulk power grid.
