Non-stationary forced oscillations (FOs) have been observed in power system operations. However, most detection methods assume that the frequency of FOs is stationary. In this paper, we present a methodology for analysis non-stationary FOs. Firstly, Fourier synchrosqueezing transform (FSST) used to provide concentrated time-frequency representation signals allows identification and retrieval si...

As power systems become more and more interconnected, the inter-area oscillations has become a serious factor limiting large power transfer among different areas. Underdamped (Undamped) inter-area oscillations may cause system breakup and even lead to large-scale blackout. Traditional damping controllers include Power System Stabilizer (PSS) and Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) controlle...

In this paper, damping power system oscillations is presented using the Elitist differential search algorithm (Elitist-DSA) in a multi-machine system. The tuning of power system stabilizers (PSSs) are presumed as the complex optimization problem for the security of power system. The linearized model of power system is transformed into a multimodal objective function and proposed algorithm is ap...

Abstract – This paper proposes a PMU (Phasor Measurement Unit) based power oscillation detection system. The phasor angles at domestic 100V power outlets are collected to the server PC through internet, and the power oscillations and their various parameters are detected from the phasor angles. PMUs and servers are installed to Japanese 60Hz system, which is a large-scale longitudinal power sys...

This paper presents an online two-stage Q-learning based multi-agent (MA) controller for load frequency control (LFC) in an interconnected multi-area multi-source power system integrated with distributed energy resources (DERs). The proposed control strategy consists of two stages. The first stage is employed a PID controller which its parameters are designed using sine cosine optimization (SCO...

This paper explores the use of a Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) for global power system control. Coordinated control schemes are assigned to the UPFC, Power System Stabilizer (PSS) and generator excitation to maintain transient stability and voltage stability following a disturbance. The extension to use of UPFC in damping inter-area oscillation is also considered. Under the proposed coor...
