These oscillations involved severe frequency and power changes throughout the system and resulted in load shed-ding and the disconnection of major equipment. This pa-per reports on the early analytical studies conducted to examine the onset of the dynamic phenomena. Instances of variations in the amplitude and frequency of the excited inter-area modes are investigated and per-spectives are provided regarding the nature of studies required to identify and characterize the underlying nonlinear process. It is shown that nonlinear analysis tools are able to identify aspects of the dynamic behavior of the system that are needed in the validation and characterization of the observed phenomena, even in cases where power system dynamic characteristics change several ...

Also, an index is proposed in order to detect the early degradation of the rotor through the Wavelet Transform. The detection and evaluation of the rotor's health is carried out by a program developed for this end by the authors. By means of the user interface, the method for processing the start-up armature current is selected by the operator. The program is tested considering a series of operation conditions, including: steady and transient conditions. On the former, the classical approach with the aid of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is applied, while in the latter the program utilizes both, the Short-Time Fourier Transform and the Wavelet Transform. Acceptable results are obtained using the techniques mentioned above for both, steady and transient conditions. The program outputs not just graphical results, also quantifies the level of fault by means of proposed rotor condition indexes; the results were obtained through laboratory tests using motors with different deterioration levels on the rotor.

It relies on coupling Prony analysis and the SIME transient stability method, with the twofold objective: on one hand, to improve Prony's applicability and reliability, and on the other hand, to design generation rescheduling patterns able to enhance the damping of poorly damped oscillations and/or stabilize them. Simulations performed on two different systems illustrate the technique and show main features: accuracy, ability to uncover and assess the influence of system machines' generation on damping, and compatibility with real-time requirements. Comparison of the results obtained by the proposed approach with conventional eigenanalysis techniques is provided. Additional method's interesting byproducts are also discussed.

This requires enhanced methods for vulnerability border tracking. The high-dimensional nature of power systems' operating space makes this difficult. However, new multiagent search techniques, such as particle swarm optimization, have shown great promise in handling high-dimensional nonlinear problems. This paper investigates the use of a new variation of particle swarm optimization to identify points on the security border of the power system, thereby identifying a vulnerability margin metric for the operating point.

The approach consists of two-block techniques in which the first block selects from a list of contingencies the a priori "interesting" ones, that the second block ranks and assesses. This Filtering, Ranking and Assessment (FILTRA) approach relies on SIME (for SIngle Machine Equivalent). SIME is a hybrid direct-time-domain stability method which combines accuracy and flexibility skills of time-domain methods with sound additional possibilities of direct methods. The FILTRA approach is fully general: it may adapt itself to the specifics of any power system (modeling, protection characteristics, etc.), any contingency scenario and mode of (in)stability (first-or multi-swing, local or inter-area mode) and any application context (planning, operation planning and real-time operation). The approach is illustrated on two EHV power systems, having different structures, control and protective devices. The adequacy of its filtering and ranking capabilities is illustrated in terms of performance criteria such as reliability (ability to consistently capture all dangerous contingencies), effectiveness (ability to avoid false alarms) and computational efficiency (ability to comply with real-time requirements). Further, the assessment task is shown to provide the operator with sound information and effective means of control. Index Terms-Contingency filtering and ranking, dynamic security assessment, power system transient stability assessment and control, SIME method.

The transient stability-constrained dispatch of an electric power system is a problematic task fo... more The transient stability-constrained dispatch of an electric power system is a problematic task for the system operator who, under economic pressure, may be reluctant to take expensive preventive actions against very harmful contingencies. The open-loop emergency control (OLEC) technique proposed in this paper aims to relieve such preventive actions by complementing them with emergency ones. This is achieved by combining generation rescheduling, assessed and taken preventively, with generation tripping, assessed preventively but triggered only if the anticipated harmful contingency actually occurs. The relative size of preventive versus emergency control may be modulated so as to furnish panoply of solutions. Besides, the technique may stabilize simultaneously many contingencies. Simulations conducted on the EPRI 88-machine system illustrate various possibilities of the OLEC technique and compare it with the purely preventive one. Tradeoffs between preventive control and OLEC are also discussed, especially in the context of liberalized electricity markets. It is shown that OLEC is indeed able to provide a good compromise between economics and security, and to realize important savings.

It uses stability margins together with compensation schemes designed so as to cancel out these margins. The method relies on SIME, a hybrid timedomain-direct transient stability method. Two types of parameters are considered, namely:(i) the clearing lime of a disturbance applied under given operating conditions;(ii) the mechanical power of a system subjected lo a disturbance and its ...

SIME is a hybrid direct-time-domain transient stability method, which reconciles accuracy and flexibility skills of time-domain programs with interesting additional advantages of direct approaches. In particular, it identifies unambiguously the system relevant machines, and acts as a reduction technique, by compressing the information about the multi-machine system dynamics into that provided by an appropriate one-machine infinite bus system. The use of SIME helps improving drastically the performances of Prony analysis while, at the same time, shedding more light on the oscillatory phenomena. The approach is illustrated by means of transient stability simu- lations performed on two different systems and yielding two different modes of oscillations: a plant mode on the EPRI 627-machine test system, and an inter-area mode o...
