Robustness analysis of extended participation factors to detect voltage fluctuations in distributed synchronous generation systems

This work presents an analysis of the robustness (with respect to variations in the operating conditions) of the application of extended participation factors in order to detect voltage fluctuation in distributed generation systems. To this end, multiple points of operation of the linearized power system will be analyzed, which constitutes the main contribution of this paper. The extended participation factor will be obtained for a range of scenarios in order to characterize the terminal voltage response as affected by the presence of electromechanical modes. To illustrate the practical application of the proposed framework in this paper, the extended participation factors will be used to estimate for the occurrence of flicker is obtained.
