Online Thévenin Equivalent Determination Considering System Side Changes and Measurement Errors

Abstract

This paper presents a new method for online determination of the Thèvenin equivalent parameters of a power system at a given node using the local PMU measurements at that node. The method takes into account the measurement errors and the changes in the system side. An analysis of the effects of changes in system side is carried out on a simple two-bus system to gain an insight of the effect of system side changes on the estimated Thévenin equivalent parameters. The proposed method uses voltage and current magnitudes as well as active and reactive powers; thus avoiding the effect of phase angle drift of the PMU and the need to synchronize measurements at different instances to the same reference. Applying the method to the IEEE 30-bus test system has shown its ability to correctly determine the Thévenin equivalent even in the presence of measurement errors and/or system side changes.

Analytical Calculation for Multi-Infeed Interaction Factors Considering Control Modes of High Voltage Direct Current Links

“…One way to avoid deviations is to take full account of the effects of power system components when obtaining equivalent impedance parameters Z ii , Z jj , and Z ij . For example, the equivalent impedance parameters with full consideration of the effects of power system components can be obtained when online Thevenin equivalent is adopted [21,22].…”

Enhanced Protection Security Using the System Integrity Protection Scheme (SIPS)

“…The three sets of phasor measurements obtained via WAMS are referred to the same reference. Using three sets of voltage and current measurements, power flow through the line is calculated and the following equations can be written [21], [22]: Considering first two sets of measurement we get:…”

“…The synchrophasor placement strategy proposed does not consider measurement errors in data. Analysis of measurement errors and a method to avoid mis-synchronization and noise removing has been proposed in [22], [23].…”

Local and Remote Estimations Using Fitted Polynomials in Distribution Systems

“…On distribution systems, Muscas et al [6] identify the scarcity of measurement and monitoring devices and avail of overlapping measurements in defined areas to estimate the state of the network. Complementary to the state estimation technique, online grid impedance estimation [7]- [9] and online Thévenin equivalent estimation [10] are topics of growing interest and relevance to distributed control.…”
