ANALYZING SUB-SYNCHRONOUS OSCILLATIONS IN A POWER SYSTEM

Abstract

Detection of sub-synchronous oscillations in an electrical system for identifying, quantifying, and mitigating grid issues associated with large and fast load fluctuations. An Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) of an electrical system detects energy-related signals associated with the electrical system and processes the energy-related data to identify non-harmonic frequencies of interest. Values associated with the identified one or more non-harmonic frequencies of interest are quantified as a function of at least one of power, voltage, and current data. An alert representative of the quantified values exceeding a set of predefined magnitude limits for longer than a threshold duration may be generated.
