Advanced Controls to Improve Dynamic Stability Performance for Large Power Systems

This paper provides a very detail-oriented study to prepare a full pathway for having an advanced closed-loop control implemented on selected controllable assets of N ew York Power Authority (NYPA), including wind generation to improve dynamic stability performance. The detailed methodology to identify the most effective control devices is outlined. Coordinated tuning of MBPSS is performed. The results show that the advanced closed-loop control with NYPA assets improves the dynamic stability performance of New York power grid and even of Eastern Interconnection as a whole.
