Online Low Frequency Oscillation Detection and Analysis System with an Ensemble Filter

Signal Processing 2020-01-15 v4

Abstract

The widespread deployment of phasor measurement unit (PMU) overpower systems makes it possible to monitor and analyze grid dynamics in real-time. Low-frequency oscillation is harmful to power system equipment and operation, and in the worst-case scenario may lead to cascading failures. Therefore, it is critical to detect and identify them as soon as they appear. This paper presents an online low-frequency oscillation detection and analysis (LFODA) system, which has the merit of significantly reducing the chance of false alarm via a voting schema and a time-serial filter. A novel algorithm based on density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) is proposed to classify oscillation modes as well as to group their corresponding buses/monitoring sites. Performance of the LFODA system is evaluated through experiments using both simulated and real-world PMU data.
