Modal Analysis for Control

  • Chapter
Power System Oscillations

Abstract

In Chapter 3, I defined and applied modal analysis to understanding the nature of power system oscillations. However, it is necessary to do more than understand; controls, which modify the natural behaviour of the interconnected synchronous generators, must be designed. While power systems are essentially nonlinear, we have seen that their oscillations about an operating point can be predicted accurately from a linearized system model. For oscillation damping control design, we can use this to justify the application of linear control theory.
