Enhanced Power System Damping Estimation via Optimal Probing Signal Design

For real-time power system dynamic monitoring, it is important to provide accurate estimations of the network's critical electro-mechanical modes, which are time-varying frequency and damping values. This paper employs a framework for designing a multisine probing signal that, when applied in the control inputs of one of the power electronics-based grid actuators, is able to provide a damping estimation with user specified variance. The employed framework is demonstrated through simulations in a nonlinear simulator using models of varying complexity.
