Oscillations in Bulk Power Systems

Dr. Slava Maslennikov


Abstract

Oscillations is an inherent property of power systems and need to be properly managed for secure operation of power systems. This presentation will be focusing on: 1. Electro-mechanical oscillations and the mechanism creating inter-area oscillations. 2. Forced oscillations; practical experience in monitoring and mitigation in ISO New England power system. 3. Use of the synchrophasor measurements for on-line identification the source of oscillations, which is the key actionable information for efficient mitigation. 4. Changes in oscillations landscape for the power systems with dominating Invertor Based Resources (IBR).

Speaker Bio
