Comparison of Methods for Rational Approximation of Simulated Time-Domain Responses: ARMA, ZD-VF, and TD-VF

Abstract

This paper compares alternative methods for linear modeling of simulated time-domain responses by a rational approximation. The traditional approach based on autoregressive moving average (ARMA) is compared with two alternative approaches that have been introduced in recent years: Z-Domain Vector Fitting (ZD-VF) and Time-Domain Vector Fitting (TD-VF). Following a description of their implementation and fundamental properties, the methods are applied to the modeling of a frequency-dependent network equivalent. It is shown that TD-VF offers superior results in terms of accuracy and robustness, and the model has guaranteed stable poles. The ARMA approach requires higher orders than the others and the resulting model can be unstable. The ZD-VF approach is robust and gives a model with stable poles, but it produces incorrect simulation results when applied to truncated time-domain responses. The inaccuracy is caused mainly by the conversion of time-domain data into the -domain. The fitting process of ARMA is faster than with the other approaches since it does not involve iterative pole relocations. Index Terms-Autoregressive moving average (ARMA), frequency-dependent network equivalent (FDNE), macromodel, rational approximation, time-domain vector fitting, -domain vector fitting.

“…Here, B m (z)/A m (z) corresponds to the deterministic part of the model, describing the system response to a known input signal; C m (z)/A m (z) describes the stochastic part, that represents the impact of the non-measurable effects on the and their unknown parameters are calculated by means of a prediction error method [44]. The s-domain poles (eigenvalues), of the system, s i , are estimated as…”

Uma nova aplicação do Método Vector Fitting para dados extraídos por PMUs utilizando sinais probing

“…Sob uma perspectiva mais ampla, sabe-se que os algoritmos iterativos denominados Vector Fitting (VF), apresentados em Grivet-Talocia et al (2016), demonstram ser uma ferramenta poderosa de identificação de sistemas, com aplicações bemsucedidas em áreas como modelagem de redes equivalentes dependentes de frequência em Ramirez (2009), Ubolli et al (2011) e Schumacher et al (2017, modelagem de linhas de transmissão e transformadores elétricos em Gustavsen et al (1999), Gustavsen (2004) e Gustavsen (2006), e macromodelagem passiva em Grivet-Talocia et al ( 2016 Nesse sentido, existem duas propostas paralelas neste trabalho. A primeira é apresentar os ganhos na estimação do amortecimento de modos oscilatórios pela inclusão de sinais probing juntamente com a medição autônoma dos sinais de PMU.…”

“…Further, the applicability of these models for large power system real-time simulation is studied in [10]. Formulation of FDNE using time domain VF and simulated time domain response evaluations are performed in [3], and in [11], authors compared different rational approximation methods for simulated time domain responses. A rational approximation approach for formulating FDNE based on matrix pencil method is proposed in [12] where as [13] proposed a method for electromechanical and electromagnetic transient analysis using FDNE.…”
