Dynamic Equivalents of Power System Based on Extended Two Particle Swarm Optimization

Abstract

A novel methodology based on phaser measurement units (PMUs) for power system dynamic equivalents is presented. In this methodology the external system is reduced dynamically using the important quantities obtained by PMUs. An extended two particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with the mutation operator is proposed to identify the parameters of the equivalent system. The proposed method is demonstrated and compared with the original system using the 10 machines 39 buses New England test system. The comparison shows that the proposed method can preserve the dynamic properties of the original system and has great value in engineering application.
