Source Location Need for Reliable Source Location in Managing Oscillations Oscillation Identification long established Real-time control-room measures on known modes since 1998 (GB inter-area 0.5Hz) Monitoring reveals previously unseen behaviour and risks Oscillation behaviour can be complex Many plants, loads, controllers participating over wide area Issues not replicated in models e.g. interaction/resonance, plant malfunction, forcing Decisions on actions (real-time or planning) require information to identify sources Applicable to interconnection (is source in my area?) Largest amplitude is an unreliable indicator Assume incomplete observability (especially currents) New method yields Source Identification using Sparse Voltage Bus Measurements 0.26Hz 100MW (1 line) 30 mhz 12 minutes Presentation title - 12/12/2014 P 18
Oscillation Phase Relations for a Single Machine P and δ lag ω by about 90, determined by damping. E.g. damping ratio 20%, angle lags 90 +12 and power lag speed by 90-12 Power (P) in phase with speed (ω) produces positive damping. Power out of phase with speed produces negative damping. Presentation title - 12/12/2014 P 19
2-Machine Example Equal Damping Contributions More Damping Contribution from Generator 1 More Damping Contribution from Generator 1 Lagging generator contributes more damping than leading generator Leading generator is source Presentation title - 12/12/2014 P 20
Identifying Sources of Oscillations Example Leading phase indicates less damping contribution. The source is the location with the lowest damping contribution (possibly negative). To find the source of an oscillation: 1. Divide into opposing groups. The group leading by less than 180 is the group containing the source. 2. Find the most leading location within the leading group. 150 210 120 240 90 270 0.015 0.01 0.005 60 300 Gen 1 Gen2 Gen3 Gen430 180 0 Gen 1 & 2 are the leading group. 330 Gen 2 leading within group Gen 2 is the Source Presentation title - 12/12/2014 P 21

Application to Large Interconnections Concern Are there significant oscillations in interconnection? Is my system involved? Can the oscillation be controlled within my area? What measures can I take? Operationally Planning & control design Solution Alarm on unusually large or poorly damped oscillations Check high level geographic interconnection source location view Compare contributions inside & outside system action if source(s) within system Identify specific source plant(s) in detailed measurements Change V/VAR dispatch, P dispatch if necessary. Inform plant. Improve PSS, SVC-POD control design at key plant(s). Confirm wide-area response after commissioning Presentation title - 12/12/2014 P 25 Approach can be applied to a large interconnection by sharing a high-level sparse set of voltage phasor measurements
