Numerical investigation of the main factor promoting chaotic power swing in a single-machine, infinite-bus power system model with the AVR

摘要

This paper presents numerical results on bifurcations and chaotic behavior in a fundamental power system model, a single-machine infinite-bus system model with generator excitation control by the first-order lag AVR. The numerical analysis mainly focuses on revealing the parameter value region where the chaotic behavior is observed. It is shown that the partially linearized model, which is derived by linearizing ail of the nonlinear elements except the AVR limiter, exhibits similar bifurcations and chaos. Several simulation results indicate that the mechanisms producing the chaotic behaviors and the bifurcations are the same both in the linearized model and in the original single-machine infinite-bus system model for parameter value variation which does not move the equilibrium point from the reference point used for the linearization.
