Application of Balanced Realizations for Model-Order Reduction of Dynamic Power System Equivalents

摘要

This paper reviews and applies the balanced realization (BR) theory to obtain reduced-order models from dynamic system equivalents of electric power networks. BR allows obtaining reduced-order models via a process in which the original asymptotic stable system is internally balanced. The balanced system is truncated according to its dominant dynamics. It can be proven that the truncated, that is, reduced-order, system is also stable. This paper applies the BR method to dynamic system equivalents represented as frequency-dependent network equivalents (FDNEs). Furthermore, it shows that an assumed reduced-order FDNE can be further reduced via the BR process. Four case studies, involving one transmission network and three wind power plants, are presented.
