Methodology for Optimal Deployment of Corrective Control Measures to Ensure Transient Stability of Uncertain Power Systems

摘要

This paper proposes a method for the optimal deployment of Corrective Control Measures (CCMs) for the improvement of transient stability in uncertain power systems. First, the critical oscillation patterns of the disturbed system are identified using Hierarchical Clustering (HC) with statistically defined algorithm parameters. This is followed by the identification of critical generators where the application of CCMs will have maximum impact. The results show that a significant reduction in multi-machine unstable events can be achieved by the strategic deployment of CCMs. The proposed method is demonstrated on a modified IEEE 68 bus NETS-NYPS test network with Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and realistically modelled system uncertainties.
