Title: Adaptive Dynamic Simulations for Distribution Systems using Multi-State Load Models

Abstract

Running electromechanical simulations with a small time-step for a long period of time is computationally challenging, especially when large system models are used. Typically, simulations with a small time-step, 1 millisecond or less, are only run for a few seconds or a couple of minutes. While this trade-off has allowed for short duration simulations of large systems, it has prevented the complete analysis of power system phenomena that span minutes to hours, such as fault induced delayed voltage recovery. As power system operations become more complex with the deployment of new technologies, it will become more important to model dynamic behavior over greater time scales. This will include the ability to model system dynamics at the distribution level, including the end-use loads. This paper will present a computationally efficient method of adaptive dynamic simulations that enable transitions between time-series and dynamic modes, as necessary to capture system dynamics, while also being able to run for extended periods of time. This capability can support the direct analysis of dynamic events, co-simulation of transmission and distribution systems, and the development of reduced-order models.

Advanced Techniques for Power System Identification from Measured Data

Technical Report Pierre, John W ; Wies, Richard ; Trudnowski, Daniel

Time-synchronized measurements provide rich information for estimating a power-system's electromechanical modal properties via advanced signal processing. This information is becoming critical for the improved operational reliability of interconnected grids. A given mode's properties are described by its frequency, damping, and shape. Modal frequencies and damping are useful indicators of power-system stress, usually declining with increased load or reduced grid capacity. Mode shape provides critical information for operational control actions. This project investigated many advanced techniques for power system identification from measured data focusing on mode frequency and damping ratio estimation. Investigators from the three universities coordinated their effort with Pacificmore »« less

A Hybrid-Learning Algorithm for Online Dynamic State Estimation in Multimachine Power Systems

Journal Article Tian, Guanyu ; Zhou, Qun ; Birari, Rahul ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems

With the increasing penetration of distributed generators in the smart grids, having knowledge of rapid real-time electromechanical dynamic states has become crucial to system stability control. Conventional Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)-based dynamic state estimation (DSE) techniques are limited by the slow sampling rates, while the emerging phasor measurement units (PMUs) technology enables rapid real-time measurements at network nodes. Using generator bus terminal voltages, we propose a hybrid-learning DSE (HL-DSE) algorithm to estimate the synchronous machine rotor angle and speed in real time. The HL-DSE takes the power system model into account and trains neuroestimators with real-time data inmore »« less

Oscillation Detection Algorithm Development Summary Report and Test Plan

Technical Report Zhou, Ning ; Huang, Zhenyu ; Tuffner, Francis K ; ...

Small signal stability problems are one of the major threats to grid stability and reliability in California and the western U.S. power grid. An unstable oscillatory mode can cause large-amplitude oscillations and may result in system breakup and large-scale blackouts. There have been several incidents of system-wide oscillations. Of them, the most notable is the August 10, 1996 western system breakup produced as a result of undamped system-wide oscillations. There is a great need for real-time monitoring of small-signal oscillations in the system. In power systems, a small-signal oscillation is the result of poor electromechanical damping. Considerable understanding and literaturemore »« less
