Preliminary Study on Forced Oscillation of Power System with Quadratic Nonlinearity (2103.04240v1)

Abstract: Forced oscillation (FO) is a significant concern threating the power system stability. Its mechanisms are mostly studied via linear models. However, FO amplitude is increasing, e.g., Nordic and Western American FOs, which can stimulate power system nonlinearity. Hence, this paper incorporates nonlinearity in FO mechanism analysis. The multi-scale technique is employed in solving the forced oscillation equation to handle the quadratic nonlinearity. The amplitude-frequency characteristic curves and first-order approximate expressions are derived. The frequency deviation and jumping phenomenon caused by nonlinearity are discovered and further analyzed by comparing with linear models. This paper provides a preliminary research for nonlinear FOs of power system, and more characteristics should be further analysis in the near future.
