Extensive studies have been done to find its optimal performance conditions, but the comparisons between the Prony analysis and other modal analysis approaches from a user perspective are insufficient. This paper compares the performance of two modal analysis methods, i.e., the eigensystem realization algorithm (ERA) and the Prony analysis. Their performances are compared using a simple model and a 16-machine model. The influence of the parameters, such as the model order, the decimation factor, and signal-noise-ratio (SNR), on the modes' estimation accuracy is evaluated. Because of the randomness of noise, the Monte Carlo (MC) method is used to evaluate estimation accuracy. The median absolute deviation (MAD) is used as a metric for comparing the estimation errors. It is shown that the ERA has more preferred features than the Prony analysis in estimating power system modes.","PeriodicalId":155315,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Power and Energy Society General Meeting (PESGM)","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121995364","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}

A two-stage stochastic optimization problem is formulated to model the price-based demand response (DR) of the CBAs.

The control system uses real-time phasor measurement unit (PMU) feedback to construct a commanded power signal to modulate the flow of real power over the Pacific DC Intertie (PDCI) located in the western North American Power System (wNAPS). A hardware prototype was constructed to implement the control scheme. To ensure safe and reliable performance, the project integrates a supervisory system to ensure the controller is operating as expected at all times. A suite of supervisory functions are implemented across three hardware platforms. If any controller mal-function is detected, the supervisory system promptly disables the controller through a bumpless transfer method. This paper presents a detailed description of the control scheme, simulation results, the bumpless transfer method, and a redundancy and diversity method in the selection of PMU signals for feedback.

One of the most important issues still to be addressed is the protection of the system under DC line fault, especially for the situations using overhead lines due to higher fault frequency. This paper proposes a new fault detection method for DC line in VSC-HVDC system using the correlation of currents at DC-link capacitor branch and DC line end. In this approach, Pearson correlation coefficient is used to measure the correlation. Fault detection can be achieved easily by calculating the Pearson correlation coefficients at both ends of DC line. Simulation results using PSCAD/EMTDC demonstrate that the proposed method is able to detect the DC line fault with high selectivity and high robustness to fault resistance and noise, and it is suitable for multi-terminal VSC-HVDC system.","PeriodicalId":155315,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Power and Energy Society General Meeting (PESGM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128240237","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}
