Survey of Ambient Excitation Based Power Oscillation Analysis Methods

Abstract

In large-scale power system, low frequency power oscillation is becoming a serious threat to the power system operation. Analysis of low frequency oscillation includes model-based method and ambient-excitation-based method. Based on the investigation of the related recently-published papers, this paper presents a survey of ambient-excitation-based method. Firstly, the fundamental principle and underlying theory of ambient-excitation-based method are summarized. Furthermore, several ambient-excitation-based methods are categorized and their characteristics are introduced.
