An Improved MP Algorithm for Power System Mode Identification

Abstract

An improved matrix pencil (MP) algorithm for power system mode identification has been proposed in this paper. Aiming at the problem of inaccurate order determined by the singular value decomposition (SVD) step in traditional MP algorithms and the lack of Hankel structure in the reconstructed matrix, which leads to inaccurate identification under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) condition, singular entropy order determination is introduced. An iterative algorithm is proposed to calculate a reconstructed matrix with both Hankel structure and rank-deficient attributes. This reconstruction matrix has a better approximation effect and improves the identification accuracy of the MP algorithm under low SNR. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm was verified by modal parameter identification of numerical signals and oscillation signals of the 4-machine and 2-area systems. The algorithm proposed in low SNR has higher accuracy than the traditional MP algorithm, and the reconstructed signal has a better fitting effect.
