Reduce Frequency Oscillation Using Energy Storage System and Phasor Measurement Units Technology

Abstract

Inter-Area oscillations result from system events coupled with a poorly damped electric power system. The oscillations are observed in the large system with groups of generators, or generating plants connected by relatively weak tie lines. The frequency oscillation is the major problem for interconnected power systems; hence, the stability of these oscillations is an important condition. The inter-area oscillation, equipment such as Static Var Compensator and various Flexible AC Transmission System devices, are being increasingly used. Although Power System Stabilizers exist on many generators, there effect is only on the local area and do not effectively damp out inter-area oscillations. The injection of a stable electrical energy into disturbed power system decreases the oscillations; in our research we proposed the use of an electric energy storage system to reduce the frequency oscillations by using phasor measurement unit. This technique is applied in the Algerian interconnection power.
