Abstract
Increase penetration of intermittent renewable sources causes reduction and time variation in system inertia, forcing dynamic changes in system coherency status. Besides increased penetration levels, other factors like intermittent generation and change in distribution of renewables also influence the system coherency that needs to be addressed. This paper examines the impact of variability of renewables on system coherency and proposes a coherency identification method based on spectrum similarity approach. The proposed method uses discrete cosine Stockwell transform to derive multiple time-frequency (TF) features that captures pair-wise similarity between synchrophasor frequency signals. Thereafter, mean shift spectral clustering is used to cluster the buses with most homogeneous TF spectrum. The proposed method is validated with renewable generation in the IEEE-39 bus system and a real transmission system of India grid.
