  • Publication number: 20220149628
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods directed to improved power system stabilization and oscillation damping control. In operation, a computing device may receive frequency data from a plurality of sensors distributed within a power system. The computing device may calculate an estimate of a speed of a center of inertia signal based at least on the frequency data. A controller may calculate a control error signal for the power system based at least on the estimated speed of the center of inertia signal. The controller may further calculate an auxiliary output signal based at least on the calculated control error. An actuator may utilize the auxiliary output signal to provide an output configured to improve the stability of the power system.
