Abstract: A plastic rocker pendulum is provided with a rod-shaped basic body (1) and mounting elements (2, 3) arranged at the free ends of the basic body (1) for the ball heads of ball pins. The cross section of the basic body (1) has an essentially S-shaped design with at least three crossbars (5, 6, 7) arranged in parallel at spaced locations from one another and connection webs (8, 9) coupling two adjacent crossbars (5, 6, 7) each.

Abstract: The phase and time information of a voltage at a power supply outlet is detected at points, and sent to a data server. With one end of a system used as a phase angle reference, the data server observes phase differences at another end, and at a center. The data server then extracts an inter-system fluctuation component from an obtained fluctuation, and constructs an expanded combined vibration model for data sets obtained through first- and second-order differentiations of the component. The expanded combined vibration model is obtained by expanding a combined vibration model to include a known model of a PSS provided for a generator of interest. Time-series data regarding state variables of the PSS at the time of construction of the expanded combined vibration model are obtained, and PSS parameters are determined directly therefrom by the expanded combined vibration model, thereby achieving stabilization of dominant modes.
