Reduced-Order Bus Frequency Response Model for Bulk Power Systems

Bulk power systems show increasingly significant frequency spatial distribution characteristics (FSDCs), leading to a huge difference in the frequency response between regions. Existing uniform-frequency models based on analytical methods are no longer applicable. This paper develops a reduced-order bus frequency response (BFR) model to preserve the FSDC and describe the frequency response of all buses. Its mathematical equation is proved to be isomorphic to the forced vibration of a mass-spring-damper system, and the closed-form solution (CFS) of the BFR model is derived by the modal analysis method and forced decoupling method in vibration mechanics. The correlation between its mathematical equation and the state equation for small-signal stability analysis is discussed, and related parameters in the CFS are defined by the eigen-analysis method without any additional devices or tools. Case studies show that the proposed reduced-order BFR model and its CFS can improve the solution accuracy while keeping the solution speed within milliseconds, which can preserve the significant FSDC of bulk power systems and represent a normalized mathematical description of distinct-frequency models.
