Dynamic-Feature Extraction, Attribution, and Reconstruction (DEAR) Method for Power System Model Reduction

Abstract

In interconnected power systems, dynamic model reduction can be applied to generators outside the area of interest (i.e., study area) to reduce the computational cost associated with transient stability studies. This paper presents a method of deriving the reduced dynamic model of the external area based on dynamic response measurements. The method consists of three steps, namely dynamic-feature extraction, attribution, and reconstruction (DEAR). In this method, a feature extraction technique, such as singular value decomposition (SVD), is applied to the measured generator dynamics after a disturbance. Characteristic generators are then identified in the feature attribution step for matching the extracted dynamic features with the highest similarity, forming a suboptimal "basis" of system dynamics. In the reconstruction step, generator state variables such as rotor angles and voltage magnitudes are approximated with a linear combination of the characteristic generators, resulting in a quasi-nonlinear reduced model of the original system. The network model is unchanged in the DEAR method. Tests on several IEEE standard systems show that the proposed method yields better reduction ratio and response errors than the traditional coherency based reduction methods.Index Terms-Dynamic response, feature extraction, model reduction, orthogonal decomposition, power systems.

Low Computational Complexity Model Reduction of Power Systems With Preservation of Physical Characteristics

“…This would complement recent results obtained with coherency-based methods in which frequency-domain measurements are used to achieve model reduction, see e.g. [32], [33] in which phasor measurements units are used to determine reduced order models. The simulation section illustrates the performance of the algorithm, the design of the reduced order model and the dynamic behavior of the interconnection of the study area with the approximated model.…”

Adaptive Nonlinear Model Reduction for Fast Power System Simulation

“…In addition, some of the methods require training simulation data to create a reduced model, which cannot guarantee adequate performance during all possible disturbances. If the disturbance is very different from that with the training set, the model reduction error can substantially increase [17].…”

PMU Measurement-Based Intelligent Strategy for Power System Controlled Islanding

“…Splitting initiation criterion usually relies on prompt transient stability status judgment of the power system, which can be categorized into two types according to which physical model is considered. Rapid time-domain simulation [6] and transient energy function methods [7] are representatives of model-based methods.…”
