Study on dispersion phenomena of electromechanical disturbance propagation in power systems
Summary
The physical phenomenon of electromechanical disturbance propagation has been modeled in the form of a wave. Usually wave has dispersion features while propagating with a nonlinear medium. In this paper, the dispersion relation of discrete- and continuum-model for the power system is derived. And then, the influences on dispersion characteristics of different factors (such as generator internal reactance and transmission line resistance) are studied. The relationships of the propagation velocity and attenuation characteristics of disturbance with the power grid's parameters are revealed. Finally, this paper shows simulations based on a chain system and a New England benchmark system to help to validate the rationality and accuracy of the theoretical analysis. This work is helpful to analyze the electromechanical oscillations of power systems and control the propagation of disturbance. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
