A new iterative identification method for damping control of power system in multi-interference

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the closed-loop model of a power system in a multi-interference environment. For a multi-interference power system, the closed-loop identification is a difficult task. Yet, the model identification error can degrade the effect of the damping control. This could lead to instability of the power grid. Thus, for the closed-loop identification, we propose an iterative online identification algorithm based on the recursive least squares method and the v-gap distance. The convergence of the algorithm is proved by using direct method. The proposed algorithm is applied to the New England system, for which the results obtained are compared with those obtained using the prediction error method and the Runge-Kutta method. From the simulation study being carried out on the IEEE 39-bus New England system, we observe that by using the iterative identification algorithm proposed in this paper, the output response time is reduced by about half when compared with those obtained by using the prediction error method and the Runge-Kutta method. Also, the number of oscillations in the output response is less. These clearly indicate that the algorithm proposed can effectively suppress low frequency oscillation. As for the amplitudes of the output responses produced by the three methods, they are basically the same.
