Coexistence of Four Different Attractors in a Fundamental Power System Model
Vaithianathan Venkatasubramanian and Weijun JiAbstract-This paper reports the occurrence of a rare phenomenon in dynamical systems when four different attractors namely a stable equilibrium, a stable limit cycle and two strange attractors coexist in a fundamental power system model. The paper shows that power system operation could get trapped into sustained chaotic oscillations after a large disturbance even when there exists a viable stable equilibrium point in the model.
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.
