Abstract
The bifurcation phenomena in a power system with three machines and four buses are investigated by applying bifurcation theory and harmonic balance method. The existence of saddle-node bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation is analyzed in time domain and in frequency domain, respectively. The approach of the fourth-order harmonic balance is then applied to derive the approximate expressions of periodic solutions bifurcated from Hopf bifurcations and predict their frequencies and amplitudes. Since the approach is valid only in some neighborhood of a bifurcation point, numerical simulations and the software Auto2007 are utilized to verify the predictions and further study bifurcations of these periodic solutions. It is shown that the power system may have various types of bifurcations, including period-doubling bifurcation, torus bifurcation, cyclic fold bifurcation, and complex dynamical behaviors, including quasi-periodic oscillations and chaotic behavior. These findings help to better understand the dynamics of the power system and may provide insight into the instability of power systems.
