Chaotic motions from intermittency mechanisms in a simple power system model

This paper analyzes chaotic motions which result from exotic intermittency mechanisms in a simple power system model. The evolution of chaotic motions is illustrated by suitable time domain simulations. The global dynamic structure of the power system model is described and the intermittency induced chaotic motions are examined in detail. It is shown that extremely rich steady state phenomena exist in this power system model which originate from complicated intermittency mechanisms involving several chaotic limit sets and periodic orbits.
