Interarea Model Estimation for Radial Power System Transfer Paths With Intermediate Voltage Control Using Synchronized Phasor Measurements

Abstract

In this paper we develop measurement-based methods for estimating a two-machine reduced model to represent the interarea dynamics of a radial, two-area power system with intermediate dynamic voltage control. Two types of voltage control equipment are considered, namely, a static VAr compensator (SVC), and a synchronous condenser. The methods use synchronized bus voltage phasor data at several buses including the voltage control bus, and the line currents on the power transfer path.
