10 Governor Modeling Improvements for Stability and Frequency Response Studies MISO Experience usa.siemens.com/digitalgrid

11 Result of NERC MOD-033 System Model Validation performed by MISO MISO uses the Eastern Interconnect Wide Model for Transient Stability Analysis. These models predicts system frequency response settling at a higher value. This difference between the simulated and the PMU recording is due to lack of deadband in the governor model. This modeling issue has been a known for a long time. Frequency in Hz Frequency nadir differs Gen trip simulated at 0.5 sec Settling frequency is optimistic. Frequency with Current Models PMU Synchrophasor data Frequency comparison on 345 kv Bus near the generator TIme in sec Page 11

12 Governor Dadband Modeling Improvement 14 governor models with deadband blocks were released in PSS E versions and 34.2 MISO did extensive testing of these new models on the Eastern Interconnection with very encouraging results IEEEG1* asymmetrical dead-band IEEEG1SDU* Page 12

13 MISO Test Results of 2020 Summer Dynamic case with New Governor Models, compared to Real Time Data Green trace represents base case with current governor models. Incorrect model prediction Hz PMU : Frequency at 345 kv Bus near Fermi Generating Plant Unit Frequency, New Governor Type, 2020SUM Frequency, Base Model, 2020SUM Settling frequency in simulation (red trace) closer to Real time data (purple trace), which is critical for any frequency related studies. Note :Some difference expected as case represents an out year scenario, not the actual system condition pre-event seconds Page 13 *MISO Dynamics model Wind at 15.6% of Pmax in MISO
