Selection of input/output signals for wide area control loops

This paper studies the various aspects of input/output selection for wide-area damping controllers, targeted at the power system inter-area oscillation modes. The objectives is to choose a control loop which has large impact to a few selected modes, while does not affect the other system modes, hence the interactions problem can be greatly reduced. For this purpose, a new modal interaction index is proposed. Non linear simulations are also carried out to validate the modal analysis results.
