  • Publication number: 20220360084
    Abstract: A transient stability assessment method for an electric power system is disclosed. Transient stability tags and steady-state data of the electric power system before a failure occurs are collected from transient stability simulation data. Data sets under different predetermined failures are obtained based on a statistical result of the transient stability tags and a maximum-minimum method. A similarity evaluation index between different predetermined failures is constructed based on a Jaccard distance and a Hausdorff distance. Different predetermined failures are clustered based on a clustering algorithm. A parameters-shared siamese neural network is trained for different predetermined failures in each cluster to obtain a multi-task siamese neural network for the transient stability assessment.

  • Publication number: 20220302706
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a two-side stochastic dispatching method for a power grid. By analyzing historical data of wind power, the Gaussian mixture distribution is fitted by software. For certain power system parameters, a two-side chance-constrained stochastic dispatching model is established. The hyperbolic tangent function is used to analyze and approximate cumulative distribution functions of random variables in the reserve demand constraint and the power flow constraint, to convert the two-side chance constraint into a deterministic constraint. The disclosure can have the advantage of using the hyperbolic tangent function to convert the two-side chance constraint containing risk levels and random variables into the solvable deterministic convex constraint, effectively improving the solution efficiency of the model, and providing decision makers with a more reasonable dispatching basis.

  • Publication number: 20220195986
    Abstract: A data-driven wind farm frequency control method based on dynamic mode decomposition. The method enables a low-dimension nonlinear dynamic feature of a wind power system to perform global capturing in a high-dimension space through a state transition matrix given by a Koopman operator theory, thus fewer data samples are necessary while control requirements are satisfied with respect to a model fitting accuracy. Meanwhile, a pure linear feature of a control model also provides a favorable foundation for fast on-line dynamic response, thereby satisfying response accuracy and speed requirements simultaneously in an actual control step.
