Out-of-step oscillation splitting criterion based on bus voltage frequency

Under the background of complicated interconnected network,the splitting criterion for accurately capturing the electrical center in real time is the prerequisite of power grid splitting.This paper studies the features of electric quantity in the electrical center in aspect of the instantaneous frequency,and proposes the out-of-step splitting criterion for power systems based on bus voltage frequency.Firstly,through the establishment and solution to the out-of-step model of the power grid,the analytical expression of the voltage frequency at any position is obtained in the out-of-step oscillation,and the voltage frequency features of electrical center and non-electrical center are analyzed in details.Then,this paper constructs the typical scene of migration of electrical center to study the change rules of voltage frequency.Finally,the splitting criterion based on bus voltage frequency is proposed as well as the instruction for use.This criterion is easy to be realized and can adapt to the migration of electrical center.Also it is free from the limits of power network structure and operational mode.Simulation results of CEPRI-36 system and interconnected network example of one actual region verify the accuracy and the effectiveness of the proposed criterion.

Phasor Measurement Unit Incorporated Adaptive Out-of-step Protection of Synchronous Generator

The existing out-of-step(OOS)protection schemes have proven to be deficient in the prevention of significant outages.OOS protection schemes must not operate in stable power swing,and rapidly isolate an asynchronous generator or group of generators from the rest of the power system in case of unstable power swing.The paper proposes a novel phasor measurement unit(PMU)incorporating a polygon-shaped graphical algorithm for OOS protection of the synchronous generator.The unique PMU-based logic works further to classify the type of swing once the graphical scheme detects it,which can identify the complex power swing produced in the modern power system.The proposed algorithm can take the correct relaying decision in the event of power swing due to renewable energy integration,load encroachment,and transient faults.In this paper,the original and modified Kundur two-area system with a power system stabilizer(PSS)is used to test the proposed algorithm.In the end,it provides assessment results of the proposed relay on the Indian power system during the blackout in July 2012.The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is fast,accurate,and adaptive in the modern power system and shows better performance than the existing OOS protection schemes.

Dynamic Capture Method for Out-of-step Center of Power Grid Based on Measurement Information

This paper dynamically captures the out-of-step center for a bulk power system based on measurement information.First,the position characteristics of the out-of-step center are discussed from the perspective of triangular geometry under different potential and uniform impedance distributions based on a two-machine system.The correlation between the out-of-step center and the oscillation center is analyzed.Second,combined with analytical geometry,it is inferred that the distribution characteristics of the out-of-step center voltage vector ends are a circle or a straight line,and the position of the out-of-step center corresponds to the intersection between the voltage drop of the line and the distribution characteristics;then,the accurate location of the out-of-step center and the determination of the appearance moment is realized.Finally,a dynamic equivalence method for a power grid is proposed based on the electrical parameters of the transmission line,and an alternative iterative correction of equivalent parameters is carried out by trajectory sensitivity,which provides a new way for capturing the out-ofstep center dynamically in a multimachine system.The proposed method is validated using a three-machine system,the IEEE-39 system and the Northwest China Power Grid,and shows potential for online applications.

An improved strategy for out-of-step oscillation separation devices based on apparent impedance angle applied to a series compensated line

Out-of-step oscillation separation devices based on apparent impedance angle trajectory are widely used in the power grid in China,and their reliability is of great importance.In this paper,the influence mechanism of series compensation on apparent impedance angle trajectory is analyzed.It reveals that series compensation capacitors reduce the equivalent impedance angle and consequently the apparent impedance angle cannot pass through all four zones,resulting in the risk of failure for the separation devices.A revised method of apparent impedance angle based on compensation principle is discussed,and then an improved out-of-step oscillation detection criterion is proposed.In view of the fact that the apparent impedance angle at the moment of maximum current is equal to the equivalent impedance angle during an oscillation process,a practical algorithm based on the compensated apparent impedance angle is proposed.RTDS tests are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the new criterion,considering transmission lines with a high series compensation level.
