This paper presents a security index for quantifying the small signal security of power systems. The index refers to the characteristics of system oscillation modes and delivers the degree of change in system security due to contingencies. The index can be of supplemental use in power system contingency screening and ranking.Moreover, the paper suggests the concept of aggregating the index with the established index for dynamic security inference. The aggregation concept allows individual application of each of the indexes in partial security investigations or application of both in the complete security investigations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
