An Adaptive Wide-Area Power System Damping Controller using Synchrophasor Data

This paper presents an adaptive wide-area interarea mode damping controller for power systems using synchrophasor data. A key consideration in the control design is the time delay in computing the phasor quantities and the variable communication network latency for controllers to use remote synchrophasor data. The adaptive switching controller comprises several phase compensators, each designed for a specific data latency. Based on the latency of the arriving synchrophasor data, the adaptive controller will select the appropriate compensator to use. The design is illustrated with a two-area power system. Applications to large power systems will be discussed.
