Making a Dynamic Interaction Between Two Power System Analysis Software

Abstract

This paper presents a distributed simulation based method for harmonic resonance assessment (HRA) in multi-area large-scale power systems. Further consideration is devoted to the early harmonic frequency-scan formulation to shape them into a Bordered Blocked Diagonal Form (BBDF), which is suitable for parallel processing. The proposed algorithm (BBDF) allows operator of each area of an interconnected system to independently conduct the HRA. A large-change sensitivity based approach is then handled in a secure platform to apply the effects of whole network to each single area. The introduced decentralized HRA is capable to find the exact values as those of the interconnected system through TCP/IP communication media. The developed method is successfully implemented in an existing software package and applied to IEEE 14-bus harmonic test system, followed by a discussion on results
