Stability Analysis of Power Systems With Inclusion of Realistic-Modeling WAMS Delays

摘要

This paper studies the impact of realistic wide-area measurement system (WAMS) time-varying delays on the dynamic behavior of power systems. A detailed model of WAMS delays including quasi-periodic, stochastic, and constant components is presented. Then, this paper discusses numerical methods to evaluate the small-signal stability as well as the time-domain simulation of power systems with inclusion of such delays. The small-signal stability analysis is shown to be able to capture the dominant modes through the combination of a characteristic matrix approximation and a Newton correction technique. A case study based on the IEEE 14-bus system compares the accuracy of the small-signal stability analysis with Monte Carlo time-domain simulations. Finally, the numerical efficiency of the proposed technique is tested through a real-world dynamic model of the all-island Irish system.
