A Low Frequency Oscillation Disturbance Source Positioning Method Based on Oscillation Phase Difference

Abstract

In the face of voltage sag which causes power quality problems, combined with the common short circuit fault types in power system, how to locate disturbance source quickly and accurately is an important problem in low frequency oscillation monitoring and control. The mechanism of the disturbance source affecting the unit in the network is analyzed. A low frequency oscillation source location method based on oscillation phase difference is proposed. Firstly, the electrical data of the dominant oscillation mode are extracted by empirical mode decomposition, then the oscillatory phase with physical meaning is calculated by Hilbert transform. According to the network information criterion, the location of the disturbance source can be traced, according to the power plant. The ground information criterion can check the specific disturbance source unit. The principle of the method is clear, only one electrical quantity is needed to participate in the calculation.
