The index is calculated from an estimate of the eigenvalues of the system, which are determined using time-series from dynamic simulations. The methodology assumes that no other information about the system (model) is available. In the first layer, which is the main future of the index, a scalar (positive or negative) indicates if any of the modes have a damping ratio less than a predefined value. In the second layer, a vector is used to specify which pre-defined damping ratios were violated and finally, in the third layer a matrix is used to retrieve precise information about which mode has violated the pre-defined damping requirements of the system. The proposed index is first illustrated using synthetic data and then the index is validated using simulation data from the KTH-Nordic32 system.","PeriodicalId":149134,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE PES General Meeting | Conference & Exposition","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114222014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It will be shown that this approach, which is based on CymGrd software package, will have more output parameters that makes the model more efficient, so it can be a sufficient replacement for other conventional methods.

Based on the impedance margin sensitivity, diverse performance indices are proposed to help improving this detection.
