Analysis and Detection of Forced Oscillation in Power System

Abstract

To mitigate forced oscillation and avoid confusion with modal oscillation, fundamentals of forced oscillation in multimachine power system are investigated. First, the explicit formulation of the oscillation is formulated in terms of forced disturbances and system mode shapes. Then, forced oscillation amplitude, components and envelope are intensively studied. Consequently, measures for mitigating the oscillation are obtained. Forced oscillation can also be effectively detected and discriminated from modal oscillation by utilizing its uniqueness of components properties and envelope shapes. Study results of the 10-machine 39-bus New England test system and a real-life power system demonstrate the correctness of theoretical analyses and effectiveness of detection methods for forced oscillation.
