Series Introduction

Power engineering is the oldest and most traditional of the various areas within electrical engineering, yet no other facet of modern technology is currently undergoing a more dramatic revolution in both technology and industry structure. Among the most exciting changes are those where new solutions are being applied to classical problem areas. System dynamics and stability engineering have been crucial elements of power system engineering since early in the twentieth century. Smooth, continuous operation of modern power supply systems depends greatly on the accurate anticipation of interconnected equipment, dynamic behavior, and correct identification of the system’s operating limits. Proper engineering requires precise methods that can manage that knowledge and direct it to the design of economical and secure power systems. Artificial intelligence offers an exciting new basis for performing dynamic modeling and stability analysis, one that can provide considerable value and new insight to these often difficult aspects of power system performance. Electric Systems, Dynamics, and Stabiliv with Artificial Intelligence Applications is an exceedingly comprehensive and practical guide to both power system dynamics and stability concepts, and to the use of artificial intelligence in their modeling and engineering. Drs. Momoh and El-Hawary provide a comprehensive introduction to power system dynamics and stability, along with a thorough discussion of recently developed concepts such as transient energy func-

tions. Their book is rich in its appreciation of the intricate operating constraints and issues that real-world power system engineers and operators must face every day. But wtiat sets this book apart is its application of artificial intelligence to these long-recognized power system engineering challenges.

Preface

The intention of this book is to offer the reader a firm foundation for understanding and analyzing power system dynamics and stability problems as \yell as the application of artificial intelligence technology to these problems. Issues in this area are extremely important not only for real-time operational considerations, but also in planning, design, and operational scheduling. The significance of dynamics and stability studies grows as interconnected systems evolve to meet the requirements of a competitive and deregulated operational environment. The complexities introduced give rise to new types of control strategies based on advances in modeling and simulation of the power system. The material presented in this book combines the experience of the authors in teaching and research at a number of schools and professional developtnent venues. The work reported here draws on experience gained in conducting research sponsored by the Electric Power Research Institute. the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, and NASA for Dr. Momoh. Dr. EIHawary's work was supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Rcsearch Council of Canada and Canadian Utilities Funding. This book is intended to meet the needs of practicing engineers invol\.ed i n the electric power utility business, as well as graduate students and researchers. It provides necessary fundamentals, by explaining the practical aspects of artificial intelligence applications and offering an integrated treatment o f the evolution of modeling techniques and analytical tools.

Chapter I discusses the structure of interconnected power systems, foundations of system dynamics, and definitions for stability and security assessment. Chapter 2 deals with static electric network models and synchronous machine representation and its dynamics. Limits for operations of a synchronous machine and static load models are discussed as well. Chapter 3 deals with dynamic models of the electric network including the excitation. and prime mover and governing system models. The chapter concludes with a discussion of dynamic load models. Chapter 4 covers concepts of dynamic security assessment based on transient stability evaluation. This chapter includes both conventional and extended formulations of the problem. Chapter 5 , a complement to Chapter 4, treats the more recent approach of angle stability assessment via the transient energy function idea. Chapter 6 introduces the idea of voltage stability and discusses techniques for its assessment. Chapters 7 through 9 are devoted to an expose of artificial intelligence technology and its application to problems of system stability, from both the angle and the voltage sides. In Chapter 7, we introduce basic concepts of artificial neural networks, knowledge-based systems, and fuzzy logic. In Chapter 8. we deal with the application of artificial intelligence to angle stability problems. and the extension to voltage stability is presented in Chapter 9. Chapter I C offers conclusions and directions for future work in this field. In developing this book. we have benefited from input from many of 0111' students. colleagues, and associates. While they are too many to count, we wish to tnention specifically encouragement by H. Lee Willis, the editor of the PoweiEngineering Series for Marcel Dekker, Inc. The continual counsel and prodding o f B. J. Clark was extremely helpful. We acknowledge the able administrative support of Linda Schonberg and the assistance of our respective deans. We are grateful to Dr. Chieh for the great inspiration and generous contribu tions, and to many others, whose names are not included, in the development ot' this volume. Our students, both present and former. contributed their time and many valuable suggestions. Many thanks to them and especially to the young research assistants at the Center for Energy Systems and Control for putting up with the burdensome challenge of producing this book just in time. Finally. the book would not have been published without the help of our Creator and the support of our families.

1.1

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Electric power has shaped and contributed to the progress and technological advances of humans over the past century. It is not surprising then that the growth of electric energy consumption in the world has been nothing but phenomenal. In the United States, for example, electric energy sales have grown to well over 400 times in the period between the turn of the century and the early 1970s. This growth rate was 50 times as much as the growth rate in all other energy forms used during the same period. Edison Electric of New York pioneered the central station electric pouter generation by opening of the Pearl Street station in 1881. This station had a capacity of four 250-hp boilers supplying steam to six engine-dynamo sets. Edison's system used a I 10-dc underground distribution network with copper conductors insulated with a jute wrapping. The l o b i t \ d t c i g e of tlic-, cii-mit limited the service area of a central station, and consequently central stations proliferated throughout metropolitan areas. The invention of the transformer, then known as the "inductorium." made ac systems possible. The first practical ac distribution system in the United States was installed by W. Stanley at Great Barrington, Massachusetts. in 1866 for Westinghouse, who acquired the American rights to the transformer from its

British investors Gaulard and Gibbs. Early ac distribution utilized 1000 V overhead lines. By 1895, Philadelphia had about twenty electric companies with distribution systems operating at 100 V and 500 V two-wire dc and 220 V three-wire dc: single-phase, two-phase, and three-phase ac; with frequencies of 60, 66. 125, and 133 cycles per second; and feeders at 1000-1200 V and 2000-2300 V. The consolidation of electric companies enabled the realization of economies o f scale in generating facilities. the introduction of a certain degree of equipment standardization, and the utilization of the load diversity between areas. Generating unit sizes of up to 1300 MW are in service, an era that w;i? started in I973 by the Cumberland Station of the Tennessee Valley Authority. Underground distribution o f Lwltages up to 5 kV was made possible by thc de\.elopment of rubber-base insulated cables and paper insulated, lead-co\.erec cables in the early 1900s. Since that time higher distribution voltages hi1L.e beer necessitated by load growth that would otherwise overload low-voltage circuit!, and by the requirement to transmit large blocks of power over great distances. Coninion distribution voltages in today's systems are in 5 , IS, 25, 35. and 6'1 kV \vltage classes. The growth in size of power plants and in the higher voltage equipment u ' a s accompanied by interconnections of the generating facilities. These interconnections decreased the probability of service interruptions, made the utilization of the most economical units possible, and decreased the total reserve capacity required to meet equipment-forced outages. This growth was ;11so accompanied by the use of sophisticated analytical tools. Central control of thc interconnected systems was introduced for reasons of economy and safety. Th,: advent of the load dispatcher heralded the dawn of power systems engineering. \+!hoseobjective is to provide the best system to meet the load demand reliablq. safe 1y , and economical 1y , U ti 1i zi ng state-of-the-art computer fac i 1i ties. Extra high voltage (EHV) has become the dominant factor in the transmi>sion o f electric power over great distances. By 1896, an 1 1 kV three-phase line M . ~ Stransmitting 10 MW from Niagara Falls to Buffalo over a distance of 2 3 miles. Today, transmission voltages of 230 kV, 287 kV, 345 kV, 500 kV, 735 k V , and 765 k V are commonplace, with the first I100 kV line scheduled fclr energization in the early 1990s. One prototype is the I200 kV transmission tower. The trend is possible. resulting in more efficient use of right-of-wa;!. lower transmission losses, and reduced environmental impact. The preference for ac was first challenged in 1954 when the Swedish Stale Power Board energized the 60-mile, 100 kV dc submarine cable utilizing I!. Larnm's Mercury Arc FAves at the sending and receiving ends of the world s first high-voltage direct current (HVDC) link connecting the Baltic island o f Gotland and the Swedish mainland. Today, numerous installations with voltages up to 800 kV dc have become operational around the globe. Solid-state technol-

ogy advances have also enabled the use of the silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCR) of thyristor for HVDC applications since the late 1960s. Whenever cable transmission is required (underwater or in a metropolitan area), HVDC is more economically attractive than ac. Protecting isolated systems has been a relatively simple task, which is carried out using overcurrent directional relays with selectivity being obtained by time grading. High-speed relays have been developed to meet the increased short-circuit currents due to the larger size units and the complex interconnections. For reliable service, an electric power system must remain intact and be capable of withstanding a wide variety of disturbances. It is essential that the system be operated so that the more probable contingencies can be sustained without loss of load (except that connected to the faulted element) and so that the most adverse possible contingencies do not result in widespread and cascading power interrupt ions. The November 1965 blackout in the northeastern part of the United States and Ontario had a profound impact on the electric utility industry. Many questions were raised and led to the formation of the National Electric Reliability Council in 1968. The name was later changed to the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC). Its purpose is to augment the reliability and adequacy of bulk power supply in the electricity systems of North America. NERC is composed of nine regional reliability councils and encompasses \Tirtually all the power systems in the United States and Canada. Reliability criteria for system design and operation have been established by each regional council. Since differences exist in geography, load pattern, and power sources, criteria for the various regions differ to some extent. Design and operating criteria play an essential role in preventing major system disturbances following severe contingencies. The use of criteria ensures that, for all frequently occurring contingencies, the system will, at worst, transmit from the normal state to the alert state, rather than to a more severe state such as the emergency state or the in extreenzis state. When the alert state is entered following a contingency, operators can take action to return the system to the normal state.

STRUCTURE OF A GENERIC ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM

1.2

While no two electric power systems are alike, all share some common fundamental characteristics including: 1.

Electric power is generated using synchronous machines that are driven by turbines (steam, hydraulic, diesel, or internal combustion).

2.

Generated power is transmitted from the generating sites o\rer long distances to load centers that are spread over wide areas. 3. Three phase ac systems comprise the main means of generation. transmission and distribution o f electric power. 4. Voltage and frequency levels are required to remain within tight tolerance lekrels to assure a high quality product. The basic elements of ii generic electric poww system are displayed i n Figure I . 1 . Electric power is produced at generating stations (GS) and transmitted to consumers through an intricate network of apparatus including transmission lines, transformers. and switching devices. Transmission network is classified as the folloufing: I . Transmission system 2. S i i bt ran smi ssi on system 3. Distribution system

It forms the backbone of the integrated p o \ \ ~ r system and operates at the highest voltage levels (typically, 230 kV and ab0F.e The generator \vltages are usually i n the range of 11-35 kV. These are steppej up to the transmission cultage level, and power is transmitted to transmission hubstations where the voltages are stepped down to the subtransmission It.\,c.l (typically, 69 kV to I38 kV). The generation and transmission subsystems ;it e often referred to as the hiilk po\r.ei. systerii. The .viihtr.iiri.siiii,s.siori sy.stew transmits power at a lower voltage and in s m ii 1 le r q it a n t i t i es froi n the t ran siii is s io n sii bst a t i on to the d i s t ri bi i t i o n subs t ;Itions. Large industrial customers are commonly supplied directly from the s u b transmission system. In some systems, there expansion and higher \,ohage l e \ ~ l s becoming necessary for transmission, the older transmission lines are otten re1 2gat ed to sii bt ra n smi ssion function . The di.stri/mtioii .sj:steiri is the final stage in the transfer of' pourer to tlie individual customers. The primary distribution voltage is typically betwwn 4.0 k V and 34.5 kV. Small industrial customers are supplied by primary feedcrs at this \.oltage level. The secondary distribution feeders supply residential and commercial customers at I20/240 V. The function o f an electric power system is t o con\.ert energy from one of the naturally available forms to the electrical form and to transport it to the points of consumption. Energy is seldom consumed i n electrical form but is rather converted to other forms such as heat, light, and mechanical energy. The rid\rantage of the electrical form of energy is that it can be transported and controlled with relative ease and with a high degree of efficiency and reliability.

The system must be able to meet the continually changing load demand for active and reactive power. Unlike other types of energy. electricity cannot be conveniently stored in sufficient quantities. Therefore, adequate “spinning” reserve of active and reactive power should be maintained and appropriately controlled at all times. The system should supply energy at minimum cost and with minimum 2. ecological impact. 3. The “quality” of power supply must meet certain minimum standards

with regard to the following factors: ( I ) constancy of frequency; (l ) constancy of voltage; and (3) level of reliability. Several levels of controls it~vol\~ing a complex array of devices are used to meet the above requirements. These are depicted in Figure I .2, which identifit*s the various subsystems of a power system and the associated controls. In this overall structure, there are controllers operating directly on individual system elements. In a generating unit these consist of prime mover controls and excihtion controls. The prime mover controls are concerned with speed regulaticm and control of energy supply system variables such as boiler pressures, temperitures, and tlows. The function of the excitation control is to regulate generatlir bultage and reactive power output. The desired MW outputs of the individual generating units are determined by the system-generation control. The primary purpose of the system-generation control is to balance the total system generation against system load and losses so that the desired frequency and power interchange with neighboring systems (tie flows) is maintained. The transmission controls include power and bdtage control devices. sw:h as static viir compensators, synchronous condensers, switched capacitors ;I id

reactors, tap-changing transformers, phase-shifting transformers, and HVDC transmission controls. These controls described above contribute to the satisfactory operation of the power system by maintaining system voltages and frequency and other system variables within their acceptable limits. They also have a profound effect on the dynamic performance of the power system and on its ability to cope with disturbances. The control objectives are dependent on the operating state of the power system. Under normal conditions, the control objective is to operate as efficiently as possible with voltages and frequency close to nominal values. When an abnormal condition develops, new objectives must be met to restore the system to normal operation. Major system failures are rarely the result of a single catastrophic disturbance causing collapse of an apparently secure system. Such failures are usually brought about by a combination of circumstances that stress the network beyond its capability. Severe natural disturbances (such as a tornado, severe storm, or freezing rain), equipment malfunction, human error, and inadequate design combine to weaken the power system and eventually lead to its breakdown. This may result in cascading outages that must be contained within a small part of the system if a major blackout is to be prevented.

POWER SYSTEM SECURITY ASSESSMENT

1.3

The term Po\ivr. Sysfeni Stability is used to define “the ability of the bulk power electric power system to withstand sudden disturbances such as electric short circuits or unanticipated loss of system components.” In terms of the requirements for the proper planning and operation of the power system, it means that following the occurrence of a sudden disturbance, the power system will: 1.

Survive the ensuing transient and move into an acceptable steady-state condition, and 2. In this new steady state condition, all power system components are operating within established limits. Electric utilities require security analysis to ensure that, for a defined set of contingencies, the above two requirements are met. The analysis required to survive a transient is complex, because of increased system size, greater dependence on controls, and more interconnections. Additional complicating factors include the operation of the interconnected system with greater interdependence among its member systems, heavier transmission loadings, and the concentration of the generation among few large units at light loads. The second requirement is verified using steady state analysis in what is

Static Electric Network Models

INTRODUCTION The power industry in the United States has engaged in a changing busincss environment for some time, by moving away from a centrally planned s y s t m to one in which players operate in a decentralized fashion with little knowleclge of the full-state of the network, and where decision-making is likely to be market driven rather than through technical considerations alone. This new environment is quite different from the one in which the system operated in the past. This leads to the requirement of new techniques and analysis methods for functions of system operation, operational planning, and long-term planning. Electrical power systems vary in size, topography and structural components. However, what is consistent is that the overall system can be diLiried into three subsystems, namely, the generation, transmission, and distribution subsystems. System behavior is affected by the characteristics of each of the major elements of the system. The representation of these elements by means of appropriate mathematical models is critical to successful analysis of sys ;em hehavior. Due to computational efficiency considerations for each diffe -ent problem, the system is modeled in a different way. This chapter describes some system models for analysis purposes. We begin in Section 2.1 by introducing concepts of power expressed as active, reactive, and apparent. This is followed in Section 2.2 by a brief reLiew

of three phase systems. Section 2.3 deals with modeling the synchronous machine from an electric network standpoint. Reactive capability curves are examined in Section 2.4. Static and dynamic load models are discussed in Section 2.5 to conclude the chapter.

2.1

COMPLEX POWER CONCEPTS

In electrical power systems one is mainly concerned with the flow of electrical power in the circuit rather than the currents. As the power into an element is basically the product of the voltage across and current through it, it is reasonable to exchange the current for power without losing any information. I n treating sinusoidal steady-state behavior of an electric circuit. some further definitions are necessary. To illustrate, we use a cosine representation of the sinusoidal waveforms involved. Consider an impedance element 2 = ZL$. For a sinusoidal voltage, v ( r ) is given by v(t) = tlC O S O t

The instantaneous current in the circuit shown in Fig. 2.1 is i(r)= /,,, cos(or - Q)

where the current magnitude is:

The instantaneous power is given by p(r) = ir(t)i(t)= XI I,,,[cos(or)cos(or- $)]

Using the trigonometric identity 1 coscl cosp = -[cos(a - p) + cos(cl + p)]

we can write the instantaneous power as

phase voltage sources referred to in the preceding section originate in many instances as part of the three-phase system. Three-phase operation is preferable to single-phase because a three-phase winding makes more efficient use of generator copper and iron. Power flow in single-phase circuits is known to be pulsating. This drawback is not present in a three-phase system as will be shown later. Also, three-phase motors start more conveniently and, having constant torque, run more satisfactorily than single-phase motors. However, the complications of additional phases are not compensated for by the slight increase of operating efficiency when polyphase systems of order higher than three-phase are used. A balanced three-phase voltage system consists of three single-phase voltages having the same magnitude and frequency but time-displaced from one another by 120". Figure 2.5(a) shows a schematic representation where the sin-

Assume that a change in the operation of the system occurs such that 6 is increased by a small amount A& Now for operation near 6,,. P, > P,,, and c126/c/t' becomes negatiLre according to the swing equation. Thus 6 is decreased. and the system responds by returning to its stable operating or equilibrium point. We refer to this as a stable operating point. On the other hand, operating at n 6,, results in a system response that will increase 6 and mo\re further from n 6,).For this reason, we call x - 6,)an unstable equilibrium point. If the system is operating in an equilibrium state supplying an electric pourer P, ,, with the corresponding mechanical power input P,,,,,,then the corresponding rotor angle is 6(,.Suppose the mechanical power P,,,is changed to P,,,, at a fast rate, which the angle 6 cannot follow as shown in Fig. 3.19.

4.10 A METHOD FOR STABILITY ASSESSMENT To predict whether a particular system is stable after a disturbance i t is necessary to solve the dynamic equation describing the behavior of the angle 6 immediately following an imbalance or a disturbance to the system. The system is said to be unstable if the angle between any two machines tends to increase without limit. On the other hand if under disturbance effects, the angles between e\.erq' possible pair reach maximum value and decrease thereafter, the system is deemed stable.

The above equation gi\ves the relative speed of the machine M i t h r-eclpcct to a reference frame nim ing at a constant speed (by definition of the angle 6). If the \ystem is stable, then the speed must be zero when the acceleration i \ either zero or i \ opposing the rotor motion. Thus for a rotor n4iich i \ accelerating. the condition for stability i\ that a value of 6, exists such that

This condition is applied graphically in Fig. 4.2 I where the net area under the P,, - 6 cirr~~e reaches zero at the angle 6 as s h o w . Obsenve that at 6,,.P, is negative and conseqirently the system is stable. Observe that the area A equals A! as indicated. The accelerating power need not be plotted to assess stabilitj,. Instead. the same information can be obtained from a plot of electrical and mechanical pouters. The former is the power angle curve and the latter is assumed constant. 111 this case the integral iiiay be interpreted as the area between the P, c i r r \ ~and the c~rr~re of P,,,both plotted versus 6. The area to be equal to zero. must consist of a p0sitii.e portion A I.for which an equal and opposite negatiLre portion of ,4 must exist, for which P,,,< f,,. This explains the term equal-area criterion for stability. This situation is shown in Fig. 4.22. If the accelerating power reverses sign before the t ~ ’ oareas A and .4? ;ire equal. synchronism is lost. This situation is illustrated in Fig. 3.23.

For the loading indicated above the system is stable. The opening of one of the lines may cause the generator to lose synchimism e\'en though the load could be supplied over a single line.

5 Assessing Angle Stability via Transient Energy Function

INTRODUCTION In the actual operation of an electric power system, the parameters and loading conditions are quite different from those assumed at the planning stage. As a result. to ensure power system security against possible abnorinal conditions due to contingencies (disturbances), the system operator needs to simulate contingencies i n advance, assess the results, and then take preventiLre control action if required. This whole process is called dynamic security assessment ( D S A ) and preventive control. Simulation studies (called transient stability studies) can take up to an hour for a typical system with detailed modeling for a 500-bus. 100-machine system. Since it takes a long time to conduct a transient simulation even for a single contingency, direct methods of stability assessment such as those based on Lyapunov or energy functions offer attractive alternatives. It should be noted that a transient stability study is often more than an investigation of whether the synchronous generators, following the ~ccurr-ence of disturbance, will remain in synchronism. It can be a general-purpose transient analysis. in which the "quality" of the dynamic system behavior is in\,estigated. The transient period of primary interest is the electromechanical transient. LISLIally lasting up to a few seconds in duration. If growing oscillations are of con-

cern, or if the behavior of special controls is of interest. a longer transient period may be covered in the study. For transient stability analysis, a nonlinear system model is used. The system is described by a set of differential equations and a set of algebraic eq 11at i o n s. Genera 11y , the differentia 1 equations are m ilch i ne equations , con t ro system equations. etc. The algebraic equations are system \,ohage equation:* involLting the network admittance matrix. The time simulation method and direc method are often used for transient stability analysis. The former method deter. mines transient stability by solving the system differential equation step by step. while the direct method determines the system transient stabiliry without explic. i t l y solving the system differential equations. This approach is appealing and has receiLved considerable attention. Energy-based methods are a special case o f the more general Lyapunokr’s second or direct method. the energy function being the possible Lyapiinov function. This chapter deals with transient stability by a specific direct method rnainl;,, the transient energy function (TEF) method. We begin by co\wing some basic concepts from the theory of nonlinear system stability.

STABILITY CONCEPTS

Consider an autonomous system described by the ordinary differential equatior .

where i =.t(t), and F ( A ) are n-vector\. F(.t) is generally a nonlinear function ( ~ f t . Stability in the sense of Lyapunob i \ referred to an equilibrium state of Eq. ( 5 . I ). The equilibrium \tate is defined as the stage i r at which t ( t ) remaii \ unchanged for all f . That is,

The solution for -tr from Eq. (5.2) is a fixed state since F(.t) is not an explicit tunction of t. For convenience, any nonzero i r is to be translated to the origin ( t = 0). That is. to replace t by .I + i t in Eq. ( 5 .I ) to have

Note that the current s differs from the old one by 4. As can be seen later, from the definitions, this translation does not affect the stability of the system. Thus, the origin of Eq. (5.3) is always an equilibrium state. It should be noted that t in Eq. ( 5 . 3 ) may be any independent variable, including time. 5.1.1

Definitions and a Lemma

Stability (Local) The origin of the system described by Eq. (5.3) is said to be stable if for any given E > 0, there exists a 6 5 E such that ll.r,~ll< 6 implies ll.r(t)ll < E for all t where so is an initial state. The origin is called unstable if it is not stable. The concept is illustrated in Fig. 5.1 where the initial state x,) has a magnitude less than 6. and the trajectory of s remains within the cylinder of radius E . Asymptotic Stability (Local) The origin of the system described by Eq. (5.3) is said to be asymptotically stable if it is stable and also if given ~ ~ . stable if i t is \table and also implie\ -+0 cis I + 00, for any .v,, in th? \v ho I e space .

Theorem

Let V ( x )be a positiise definite function with continuous partial deri\rriti\vesi n a region R, then The origin of the system described by Ey. (5.3) is stable if i'(.v) I 0 i n a subregion R , I R. The system is asymptotically stable in the region if it is stable and i'(.v) = 0 (identically zero) takes place only at the region in a subregion R.

I RI. The origin is globally asymptotically stable if the sqstem is asymptotically stable. R2 is the whole space and V(.v) + 00 as 11.v11 -+ 0.

Let be the srnaller one between a given E and N specified i n the lemma. That is. I - = Mill [ E . N I . Continuity of V(.\-)assures that there is a m i n i m u m of 1T.v) on the sphere ll.vll = t*. Let j*be among all the 11's that yield the minimum. V ( I - ,=) I U . then V(I*,,) 2 111 must hold for any 1 1 . Monotonicity tells that V( PI,) = 111 for a p i n the interval 0 I P I I - , and hence \'(.v = PI,)= i i i is enclosed by the sphere ~ ~= I", . rand~ also ~ it is a closed contour since I I is any unit vector. Let 6 be the minimum norm of the points on the closed contour \/(.I-) = 1 1 1 , then since ~ I x < , ~6~ is~ enclosed by the contour, V(.v,,) < 111 ~ O I I O M ~ S by monotonocity. Thus, any trajectory initiated from .v,) cannot possibly cross the sphere II.vll = t - 5 E due to the fact that \'(.v) is non-increasing and V(.v) 2 111 on the sphere II.YII = I - . I*

This completes the proof of part I of the theorem. Part 2 can be shown by observing V(.\-)can be identically zero only at the origin. Hence, V(.v) keeps on decreasing except at a countable number of points at which it stops decreasing momentarily. This implies that .v + 0 'L' I - + since V ( 0 )= 0 only when .v = 0 in R2. It seems ob\.ious t o have part 3 verified by the same reasoning used i n part 2. This is true except for the case when V ( x ) approaches a finite value as ll.v]l + 00 when .v,) is allowed to be any point in the whole space. The assumption that V(.v) 4 00 a s \l.vll + excludes this possibility which completes the proof of the theore ni . Except for relying on experience, there is no systematic method to find the Lyapunov function as required by the theorem. It has been shown that any stable and constant linear system has ii V ( x )but no one has yet shonm its existence i n ge ne ra 1 for non I i near sy stem s. L \

It can be hhown that instability and asymptotic stability of the system dt:scribed by Eq. (5.3) are the same as its linearized system at the origin, which is

where A =J;(O) is a constant and n-square matrix. That is, the system describd by Eq. (5.3) is unstable if at least one eigenvalue of A has ii positive real p x t and is asymptotically stable if all eigenvalues have negative real parts. Asymptotic stability as judged from the linearized system is simple but 01 less practical use. It is valid only in a sufficiently small region which is not easily known. The Lyapunov function contains more information on stability i n the regions R , and R2. For instance. global asymptotic stability tells us that the trajectory initiated from anywhere in the whole space, converges to the origiii. 5.1.2

Application of Lyapunov's Method to the Simple Pendulum

We consider the dynamics of a pendulum as a prototype for exploring stability of an electric power system. The motion of a pendulum with friction is described by

where -n: < n: < rl is the angle, CI is the damping constant and dh is the undamped angular velocity. We regard the problem as a mathematical one without rest-iction on 8. To convert the system to the standard form of Eq. (5.3). we detine that .vI = 8 and .i, = .Y? to get:

First, we want to check if it is possible to find a L Y ~ ~ U Ifunction W V for the problem. The matrix A for the linearized system is:

Both eigenvalues of A have negative and real parts when N > 0. This sugge;ts a possibility of finding a Lyapunov function. The Lyapunov function is sometimes referred to as a generalized energy function. The name comes from the fact that it has an initial positive kralue and does not increase as time goes on. This is the case of physical systems that iiiok'e without interference from the outside such as the pendulum system. To see this,

let M . J , p and I be the mass. inertia, damping constant and the length of the pendulum, then one dynamic equation becomes J

Multiply by vi and then integrate with respect to t :

The total energy of the pendulum (sum of kinetic and potential energjr) is

The time derivative is

Therefore, the proposed Lyapunov function is given by

with V ( x )= -ari

Thus, the Lyapunov function is actually the total energy per unit inertia of the pendulum system. Now. we have V(.r) = h( 1 - cosx,) + - .rj 2 1

This makes .i-, = 2. V(.v) = -(i.vi = 0 implies that .v2 0 and hence .i= -u.v2 - h sinv, = 0 which yields sinvl = 0 o r .vl = /in.Therefore. \f(.v) = 0 only at the origin by choosing R, = { - n < .vl < n: ,ftw. v 2 ) . Thus, t ie origin is asymptotically stable since the condition o f part 2 of the thcorein is satisfied in R2. 3.

Probably. there exists a better V(.t-) to yield the same results of ( b ) and (c) without considering h 5 1 and h > 1 separately. Although different Lyapunov functions may serve the same purpose on stability. they may be different from other points of view such as estimating 6 and other control applications. 3. The condition of part 2 guarantees that the closed contour

SYSTEM MODEL DESCRIPTION Real Power Supplied by a Generator

For a power network consisting of 12-generators connected together by mutual admittances as shown in Fig. 5.3, we may write in matrix form:

where PI,= C,,sin(6, - 6,) + D,, cos(6,- 6 , ) with C,,= E, E, H , , and Ill =,E, E, G,,

The power P,, is the real power delivered by generator i to j ; it may 3e positive or negative. P,,= E ; G,, is the power delivered to the local load at gencrator I . From Eq. (5.8) it is clear that f,,depends on difference\ between phiw angles rather than individual phase angles. This result suggests that one may choose an arbitrary reference for the angles without affecting the resulting q , . Indeed, we will first choose a reference rotating at synchronous speed to cle\tribe rotor dynamic\ and then a center of inertia to minimize the kralue of rotor hinetic energy.

Transient Swing

Let II = do/clt denote the acceleration of the system, then Eq. (5.13) together with Fig. 5.5 show that CI < 0 above the P,,, line and that ( I > 0 belour i t after friult clearance. There are two angles: 6, = sin-' P,,,/A(X,) and 6,,= TI: - 6, that correspond t o II = 0 . Figure ( 5 . 5 ) reveals that 6 increases from 6,,with O) = 0 due t o II > 0 until reaching 6,,,< 6,, at which o = 0. Since ( I < 0 at 6,,,,6 begins to decrease until o = 0 at an angle less than 6, and then comes back because ( I > 0. As such. the poclrer angle swings back and forth around 6,. This is the case for E - 1' < 0 at 6,, because 6,, is unreachable (0is imaginary). Ho\be\,er. delayed fault clearance may result in large A , which makes 6 cross 6,, uith 03 2 0. Then. 6 increases further without return due to CI > 0. This is thc case for ( E - V ) 2 0. We will consider the transient to be stable if the p o u w angle s\\Iings around 6, and is otherwise unstable. This definition makes it possible to ;isscss the stability by means of the (TEF) as follows: ( a ) The transient is stable if ( E - V) < 0 at 6,,; large magnitude yields better stability. ( b ) The transient is unstable if ( E - V) 2 0 at 6,,.

In concept, one may regard a system as stable if the kinetic energy accuniulated at the instant of clearance can be absorbed by the electrical components of the system. Thus. i t is the kinetic energy that determines the stabilitjr. It is usually during the fault that some generators are affected and tend to separate from the rest that are coherent with the system Col. So far as the kinetic energqr is concerned. the gross motion of the separating generators (say the first k ) may

APPLICATION T O A PRACTICAL POWER SYSTEM

The application of the direct method to actual power systems is quite difficult. A number of simplifying assumptions are necessary. To date, the analysis has been mostly limited to power system representation with generators represented

by classical models and loads modeled as constant impedances. Recently. there have been several attempts to extend the method to include more detailed load models. In a multi-machine power system, the energy function V describing the total system transient energy for the postdisturbance system is given by:

(5.30)

where = angle of bus i at the postdisturbance SEP J, = 2 H , o , ,= per unit moment of inertia of the it’’generator (3:

The transient energy function consists of the following four terms:

1/2 Z 1,~:: change in rotor kinetic energy of all generators in the CO1 reference frame 2. C P,:,(e,- (3:): change in rotor potential energy of all generators relatiLre to CO1 3. CC C,/(cos@,- cos0,;): change in stored magnetic energy of all branches 4. ZZ D,, cos0,,d(O,+ (3,): change in dissipated energy of all branches 1.

The first term is called the kinetic energy (En,,)and is a function of only generator speeds. The sum of terms 2, 3, and 4 is called the potential energy (E,,,,)and is a function of only generation angles. The transient stability assessment procedure involves the following steps:

the critical energy V,,. the total system energy at the instant of fitult-clearstability index: V,,- V,,.The system is stable if the is positive.

Time-domain simulation is run up to the instant of fault clearing to obtain the angles and speeds of all the generators. These are used to calculate the total system energy (V,,)at fault clearing. The flowchart of TEF for transient stability analysis is shown in Fig. (5.6).

This approach computes the critical energy by implicitly assuming the fault location. hence, the results are very conservative. 2.

or\t

The Controlling UEP Approach

The degree of conservatism introduced by the closest UEP approach is such that the results are usually of little practical value. The controlling UEP approach removes much of this conservatism by computing the critical energy depending on the friult location. This approach is based on the obser\ation that the system trajectories for all critically stable cases get close to those UEPs that are closelj, related to the boundary of system separation. The UEPs are called the controlling or relevant UEPs. The essence of the controlling UEP method is to use the constant energy surfrice through the controlling UEP to approximate the rele\mt part of the stability boundary (stable manifold of the controlling UEP) to which the fiiulton trajectory is heading. For any fault-on trajectory q ( t ) starting from a point p ~ A ( . v ,with ) V ( p )< V(.i-), if the exit point of the fault-on trajectory lies in the stable manifold of .i-, the fault-on trajectory must pass through the connected constant energy surfiice AV((.?) before it passes through the stable manifold of .t(W’(.i-)) (thus exits the stability boundary AA(-t,J). Therefore, the connected constant energy surfuce A\’, (.P) can be used to approximate the part of the stability bondary AA(,?,)for the fault-on trajectory .v,( I). The computation process in this approach consists of the following steps:

Step 1 Determine the controlling UEP, A-,,, for the fault-on trajectory .v,(I). Step 2 The critical energy V, is the value of the energy function V ( * )a t the controlling UEP, that is, V, = V(x,,,). Step 3 Calculate the value of the energy function \I(.) at the time of fiiult clearance (say, I,,) using the fault-on trajectory I{, = V(.v,(I(,)). Step 4 If V, < V , , then the postfault system is stable. Otheritrise, it is unstable.

The key element of the controlling UEP method is how to find the controllinp UEP for a fault-on trajectory. Much of the recent work in the controlling UEP method is based on heuristics and simulations. A theory-based algorithm to find the controlling UEP for the classical power system model with transfer conductance G, is presented now. The energy function is of the form:

Theoretical justification of the proposed algorithm can be found in work done by Chiang. 3. The Boundary of Stability-Region-Based Controlling UEP (BCU) Method

Earlier UEP methods faced serious convergence problems when solving for the controlling UEP, especially when the system is highly stressed or highly unstressed, or when the mode of system instability is complex. These problem\ usually arise if the starting point for the UEP solution is not sufficiently close to the exact UEP. Some of the convergence problems can be otm-come by the BCU method which has the capability of producing a much better \tarting point for the UEP solution.

CONCLUSION One of the major innovations in stability assessment is based on the energy function concept. which is an offshoot of Lyapunov stability criteria. This chapter introduced the fundamental Lyapunov stability thought and the procedure of constructing Lyapunov stability function. The main thrust of this chapter is to utilize concepts of system modeling to evaluate system stability using the energy function method. The reader is referred to the list of references and the annotated glossary of terms for further information on the subject matter.

Voltage Stability Assessment

INTRODUCTION Voltage stability studies evaluate the ability of a power system to maintain acceptable voltages at all nodes under normal conditions and after being subject :cl to contingency conditions. A power system is said to have entered ii state of voltage instability when a disturbance causes a progressive and uncontrollable decline in voltage values. Inadequate reactive power support from generators. reactive sources, and transmission lines ciiri lead to k d t a g e instability o r e ~ w i \.oltage collapse, which have resulted i n several major system fiiilures (b1ac.kouts) such as:

Voltuge Stcrhility Assessrtierit

139

Secondary phenomena related to control actions. These reflect the counterproductive nature of some manual or automatic control actions. 3. Tertiary phenomena resulting from interaction of the above. 2.

This classification of voltage quality problems implies that the problems involve both static and dynamic aspects of system components. Voltage collapse dynamics span a range in time from a fraction of a second to tens of minutes. Time frame charts are used to describe dynamic phenomena which show time responses from equipment that may affect voltage stability. The time frame chart is shown in Table 6. I , where .q is a state vector representing transient dynamics. I,is a state vector representing long-term dynamics. Y is a state vector representing very fast transient dynamics related to network components and P is a system parameter vector. Then the time frames to be considered become very fast transient, transient, and long term. The main characteristics of the three time frames are as follows: 1. A very fast transient voltage collapse involLres network RLC components having very fast response. The time range is from microseconds to milliseconds. 2. A transient voltage collapse involves a large disturbance and loads ha\.ing a rapid response. Motor dynamics following a fault are often the main concern. The time frame is one to several seconds. 3. A long-term voltage collapse usually involves a load increase or a power transfer increase. Within this time frame, a voltage collapse shows load restoration by tap-changer and generator current limiting. Manual actions by system operators may be important. The time frame is usually 0.5 to 30 minutes. Since voltage stability is affected by various system components in a wide time range, in order to tackle this problem, one must consider proper modeling and analysis methods. Currently, voltage stability approaches mainly include static and dynamic, i.e., transient voltage collapse and long-term voltage collapse.

VOLTAGE STABILITY ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUES

The loss o f lines o r generators can sometimes cause degradation in voltage. This phenomenon hiis equally been attributed to the lack of sufficient reacti\,e reset ve when the pouer system experiences a heavy load o r severe contingency. Thus. \-oltage stability is characterized in such a way that voltage magnitude o f the p o ~ w system decreases gradiially and then rapidly in the neighborhood o f I he collapsing point. Voltage stability is classified as static voltage stability and dq'naiiiic \.oltage stability. The latter is further di\ridt.d into srnall signal stabilitJr ancl large disturbance stability problems. I n d y n a i n ic v o 1t age st 11bi I it y ana 1y si s, e x ac t t node I i ng of t ran s fo r mc rs , SVCs. induction motors, and other types of loads are usually included in problem formulations i n addition to models of generators, exciters. and other controllers. Small signal voltage stability problems are fimiiulated as a combination o t differential rind algebraic equations that are linearized about an equilibri .in1 point. Eigen analysis methods are used to analyze system dynamic beha\rior. Small signal rinalysis can provide useful information on modes of \voltage in:,tability and is instructikre i n locating VAR compensations and in the design o f controllers. On the other hand, large disturbance voltage stability is mainly dorilt \+,ith bj. numericul simulation techniques. since system dynamics are descrilxx! by nonlinear differential and algebraic equations that caniiot be linearized i n nature. The mechanism o f \,()Itage collapse has been explained as saddle node bifurcation i n some literature. Voltage collapse is anrilyzed based on ii ceriter manifold \ d t a g e collapse model.

Bifurcation theory is used to analyze static stability and voltage collapse. Static bifurcation of power flow equations were associated Lvith either di\wgenttype instability or loss of casualty. Researchers ha\.e described necessary and sufficient conditions for steady-state stability based on the concept of feasibility regions of power flow maps and feasibility margins but with high computational efforts. A security measure is derived to indicate system \~ulnerabilityto Lwltage collapse using an energy function for system models that include idtage \,ariation and reactiire loads. It is concluded that the key to applications of the energy method is finding the appropriate T\pe-l low voltage solutions. In addition to the above methods for direct coinputation of stability index. some indirect approaches, based on either the continuation method or optimization methods haire been developed to compute the exact point of collapse. I n app I y i n g the con t i n u at ion methods , assumptions about 1oad c h a n g i 11g pat t e 1-17s are needed. In summary, the methods for static voltage instability analysis are based on multiple load flow solutions (voltage instability proximity indicator [ VIPI], energy method), load flow results ( L index, VCPI), or eigen\Aues of the Jacobian matrix (iiiinimum singular value and condition number). While studies on djrnamic voltage collapse shed light on control strategy design (off-line applications), static \.oltage stability analysis can provide operators with guideline information on the proximity of the current operating state to the collapse point (on-line applications ). In this case, an index, which can @\re ad\wice utarning about the proximity to the collapse point, is useful. The next discussion will be that of the formulation of selected \x)lta,c’e stability indices. Of the wide range of techniques available. we shall discuss the VIPI method. a method based on singular value decomposition. condition nuinber of the Jacobian, and the method based on the Energy Margin.

6.7.1

Voltage Instability Proximity Indicator Method

The \.oltage instability proximity indicator (VIPI) was developed by Y. Tamura et al. based on the concept of multiple load flow solutions. A pair of load f l o ~ solutions .vl and .v2 are represented by two vectors ci and 17 as followfs:

which are equivalent to:

where .vl is the normal (high) power tlow solution and .v2 its corresponding IOYA. voltage power tlow solution; LI is a singular vector in the space of node voltages and h is a margin vector in the same space. We now define two other vectors Y , and Y(ci). called singular vectors in t k space of node specifications. The relationship between these \rectors is shou n in Figure 6.2. VIPI is defined by the following equation:

where vector Y,, consists of bus injections computed with respect to .vl but the injection kAues corresponding to reactive powers of PV buses are replaced by the squared values of voltage magnitudes. Y(cc)consists of bus injections with respect to vector ( I : I( .v ( 1 is the /,-norm of vector, .v. The computation of VIPI is easy once the relevant low voltage power tlow solutions are obtained. Generallj, speaking. finding all the relevant low voltage solutions are time-consuming tor practical size systems. 6.7.2

Minimum Singular Value (U,,,,,,) Method

When an operating state approaches the collapse point, the Jacobian matrix of the power tlon equations ( J ) , approaches singularity. The minimum singu ;ir

value of the Jacobian matrix expresses the closeness of Jacobian singularity. The singular value decomposition method is used to solve the minimum singular value for static voltage stability analysis. According to the theory of singular value decomposition. power flow Jacobian can be decomposed as: (6.11 )

J = LEV'

-

where: J E R'J1*'J1 is the power flow Jacobian matrix; C = diag(o,, (J?, , oJJ) with (J,,,,, = (J, 2 o22 2 (J,~= (J,,,,,,2 0. If matrix J has rank ) - ( I " 5211).its singular values are the square roots of the I" positive eigenvalues of A7A (or A A ' ) . U and V are orthonormal matrices of order 211, and their columns contain the eigenvectors of AA' and ATA respectively. From Eq. (6.9). i t can be obtained that A V, = CJ,~(,

(6.13) A ' U , = (3,V,

(6.13)

E, = u,V:

(6.14)

We define

Then Eq. (6.I 1 ) can be written as:

(6.16)

then, as far as the /?-norm of the J matrix is concerned, J' is a matrix of rank - 1 nearest to the J matrix of rank n . This means that the smallest singular value of a matrix is a measure of the distance between matrices J and J'. As for the power flow equations, its minimum singular value expresses the proximity of the Jacobian to singularity. It can be used as an index for static voltage stability. 11

6.7.3 Condition Number of the JacobianMethod The condition number is used in numerical analysis to analyze the propagation of errors in matrix A or vector 6 in solving variable vector x for the linear equation Ax = h. If matrix A is ill-conditioned, even very small \xiations i n vector 17 (or A ) may result in significant changes in solution \rector .v.

For the Iinearized load flow equations, the condition number of the Jacobi.in matrix can be iised to measure its conditioning and whether any small variations in i'ector 11 ( o r A ) inay result in significant changes in solution vector .r. For the Iinearized load tlow equations, the condition number of the Jacobi,in matrix can be used to measure its conditioning and whether any small variations in loads niay lead to large changes i n bus voltages. If the condition number is greater than a specified threshold, this will Iiieiin that the current operating state is close to the collapsing point. A precise measure of the sensitivity of a linear sq'stem solution with resptxt to matrix A o r vector h ciiii be defined as:

For pobrer tlocb Jacobian iiiatrix J . the \ alue of Cond, ( J ) can gile an indication of the condition o f J "with respect to inversion." A small ~ ~ a l uof'e Cond2( J ) ( 1 10) refer\ to a bell-conditioned Jacobian matrix (relatitrely large voltage stability margin): a large value of Cond2(J ) ( >100) mean\ that the opi*rating 5tute is \cry close to the point of Jacobian \ingiilarity and has a ION colt ige \tiibilitj iiiargin. The extreme condition is that J is singular and Cond,(Jr is infinite. Hence. the condition nuniber Cond?(J ) ciin be used to iiieii\ure the proxiiiiitj of the operating \tates to voltage collap\e.

A large energy value indicates a high degree o f \rollage stabilitjr ndiilc ;i small \yalue indicates a low degree of voltage stability.

the maximal amount of power that corresponds to at least one power-tlow sol J tion. From the well-known P-V or Q-V curves, one can observe that the volta;;e gradually decreases as the power transfer amount is increased. Beyond the maximum power transfer limit, the power-tlow solution does not exist, which implies that the system has lost its steady-state equilibrium point. From an analytical point of view, the criteria for detecting the point of voltage collapse is the point where Jacobian of power-flow equations become singular. The steady-state operation of the power system network is represented ‘ ~ y power-tlow equations given in equation (6.20).

where 8 represents the vector of bus voltage angles and V represents the vec or of bus voltage magnitudes. h is a parameter of interest we wish t o b a y . In general the dimension of F will be 211,,, + t i / ) u , where ups and / I / ’ \ are the number of PQ and PV buses, respectively. From equation (6.20) one obtains the fundamental equation of sensitii i t ) an a I y s i s

Let .v’ = [e,V]’.From Eq. (6.2 1 ), one can obtain an ODE system

( 62 2 )

For a specific variation of the parameter h, the corresponding variatioIi t o the solution x is calculated by evaluating the Jacobian (dF/d.4-].It should be emphasized that the singularity of the power flow Jacobian dF/d.v is necesaary but not a sufficient condition to indicate voltage instability. The method proposed to observe the voltage instability phenomenon is closely related to tn111tiple power flow solutions. which are caused by the nonlinearity of power flow solutions. The drawback of the method is that it relies on the Newton-Raphson method of power flow analysis, which is unreliable in the vicinity of the vollage stability limit. As such, researchers have developed a technique knourn as the con t i n u ati on met hod.

Continuation Method and Its Application to Voltages Stability Assessment

Consider the power flow equation defined in Eq. (6.20). The vector function F consists of \I scaler equations defining a curve in the I I + 1 diniensional (.v,h) space. Continuation means tracing this curve. For a convenient graphical representation of the solution (.v.h)of Eq. (6.20) we need a one-dimensional measure of x. The frequently used measures are: (i) (ii)

(iii)

In power systems generally we use the measure of (iii). As can be seen from Fig. 6.3 we have a type of critical solution for h = k*, where for h > h* there are no solutions. For h < h* we have two solutions (one is the high voltage

This procedure basically augments the original set of pobrer tlow eqiiat ions F(.v,h)= 0 by F,(.v,)L)/I = 0 where h is ;in u-\fector n,ith / I , = 1 , The disadewmges of this approach are: The dimension of the nonlinear set of equations to be solcved is tnice that for the concmtional power flow. The approach requires good estimate of the vector h. The advantage is that. convergence of the direct method is \,ery fast i the initial operating point is close to the turning point. The enlarged system is sol\wl in such ii way that it requires the solution of four I I x / I ( 1 1 is the dimensicln o f the Jacobian F,(.v,h))linear systems, each w i t h the same matrix. requiring only one LU decomposition. '

indirect Method (Continuation Methods)

Assuming that the first solution (.q,,&,)of F(.u.h)= 0, is available. the continuation problem is to calculate further solutions, ( . ~ , . h ,(.v2.h>). ), until one reaches a target point. say at h = A*. The ith continuation step starts from an approsimation of (x,,h,)and attempts to calculate the next solution. However, there is an intermediate step in between. With predictor, corrector type continuation, the step i 3 i + I is split into two parts. The first part tries to predict a solution. and the second part tries to make this predicted part to coni'erge to the required solution:

Continuation method\ differ among other thing\, i n the follo\J ing: ( 1 ) choice of predictor, (2) type of the parameterization \trategy. ( 3 ) type of corrector method. ( 3 ) step length control. All four aspects uill be explained through the formulation of the power flow equations. I n order to apply the continuation method to the poner tlou problem, the power flow equation\ must be reformulated to include a load parameter (A). This can be done by expressing the load and the generation at a bus as ;I function of the load parameter ( h ) .The general form of the ne\+ equation\ a\sociated with each bus i is:

The voltage at bus i is V, 8, and Y,/ a,/ is the (i,j)th element of the system admittance matrix [ Yut,5).P,l(h) and Q,,(h ) terms depend on the type of load model. For example for the constant power load:

Now if F is used to denote the whole set of equations, then the problem can be expressed as il set of nonlinear algebraic equations given by Eq. (6.20). The predictor, corrector continuation process can then be applied to those equations. The fir\( task in the predictor \tep is to calculate the tangent vector. Tlii\ tector can be obtained from factorizing Eq. (6.21).i.e.,

augmented by one column ( F j , ) ,while the latter t = [de,dV,dh]' is the tangent vector being sought. A normalization has to be imposed in order to give t a nonzero length. One can use for example (6.29)

e:t = tL = I

where ek is an appropriately dimensioned row vector with all elements equal to zero except the kfh one, which equals one. If the index k is chosen properly. letting tk = + I .O imposes a nonzero norm on the tangent vector which guarantees that the augmented Jacobian will be nonsingular at the point of maximum possible system load. Thus the tangent vector is determined as the solution of the 1i near sy s tem

Once the tangent vector has been found by solving Eq. (6.30), the prediction can be made as follows:

PARAMETERIZATION

The branch consisting of solutions of Eq. (6.20) forming a curve in the (.LA) space has to be parameterized. A parameterization is a mathematical way of identifying each solution on a branch. A parameterization is a kind of measure along the branch. There are many different kinds of parameterization. For instance, by looking at a PV curve, one sees that the voltage is continually decreasing as the load nears maximum. Thus, the voltage magnitude at some particular bus could be changed by small amounts and the solution is found for each given value of the voltage. Here the load parameter would be free to take on any value it needed to satisfy the equations. This is called local parameterization. I n local parameterization the original set of equations is augmented by one equation that specifies the value of one of the state variables. In equation form this can be expressed as follows:

The magnitude of each eigenvalue h, determines the weakness o f the coriesponding modal voltage. The smaller the magnitude of h, the uteaker the c o r ~esponding modal voltage. If h, = 0. the ith modal voltage will collapse because any change in that modal power will cause infinite modal voltage irariation. If all eigenkralues are positive, the system is considered voltage stable. This is a dift'erent dynamic system where eigenvalues with negative real parts i re stable. The relationship between system bdtage stability and eigen\ralues of the J , matrix is best understood by relating the eigen\dues with Q-\' sensiti\.ity o f each bus. J , can be taken as ;t syminetric matrix and therefore the eigenvuli es

of J , are close to being purely real. If all the eigenc~aluesare positiLe J K is positi\re definite and the V-Q sensitivities are also positiLre. indicating that the system is voltage stable. The system is considered voltage unstable if at least one of the eigenvalues is positive. A zero eigenvalue of J , means that the system is on the \yerge of voltage instability. Furthermore, small eigenvalues of J , determine the proximity of the system to be voltage unstable. The participation factor of bus k to mode i is defined as

For all the small eigenvalues, bus participation factors determine the areas close to cdtage instability. In addition to the bus participations, modal analysis also calculates branch and generator participations. Branch participations indicate which branches are important in the stability of a g i \ m mode. This proLides insight into possible remedial actions as well as contingencies. which inay result in loss of voltage stability. Generator participations depict which machines niust retain reactit,e reserves to ensure stability of a given mode. Figure 6.5 depicts the technique static voltage stability assessment using modal analysis. For a practical system with several thousand buses it is impractical and unnecessary to calculate all the eigenvalues. Calculating only the minimum eigenvalue of J K is not sufficient because there are usually more than one \ \ ~ a k modes associated with different parts of the system. and the mode associated with the minimum eigenvalue may not be the most troublesome mode as the system is stressed. The I I I smallest eigenvalues of J , are the I I I least stable modes of the system. If the biggest of the vz eigen\dues, say mode I I I . is a strong enough mode, the modes that are not computed can be neglected because they are known to be stronger than mode ni. An implicit inixrse lopsided simultaneOLIS iteration technique is used to compute the I I I smallest eigenvalues of J , and the associated right and left eigenvectors. Similar to sensitivity analysis, modal analysis (see the worked example at the end of this chapter) is only valid for the linearized model. Modal analj~sis can, for example. be applied at points along P-V cur\.es or at points i n lime of a dynamic si mU I at i on.

VSTAB-Voltage

Stability Assessment (EPRI)

A more promising method with the trade name VSTAB. uses po~7el-tlow and modal analysis techniques. It provides assessment of the proximity to Lvltage instability and determines the mechanism of voltage instability. I n this method. the proximity to \voltage instability is evaluated by conducting a series of p o ~ ' e r tlow solutions with load increase until load tlow diLwgsiice is encountered. When load flow divergence is encountered, the step size for load increase ix reduced and the power flows are continued. The voltage stability limit is considered to have been reached when the step size reaches the cutoff due specified by the user. The load level at this point is the maximum loadabilitjf.This procedure is carried out simultaneously for the intact system as well as for contingencies. Load increase can be carried out with or without generation scaling. The slack bus generation is not scaled. Loading can be by area or by zonc. The mechanism of voltage instability is studied in VSTAB by using modal analysis. Modal analysis employing V-Q sensitivities can identifqr areas that have potential problems and provide information regarding the mechanism of Lroltage collapse. The method is briefly discussed as follows. The usual power tlow equations can be expressed in the linearized form.

of a power system. In adequate reactive power support from generators arid transmission lines lead to voltage instability or voltage collapse which halie resulted in several major system failures (blackouts) such as the massive Tokyo blackout in July 1987. In order to prevent the stability limit being reached or exceeded during a given contingency, remedial actions need to be recommended. It is well knov,Tn that in all cases, voltage instability is caused by inadequate transmission capacity at a given operating condition due to a contingency, which the system cannot withstand. Based on contingencies that occur, the distribution of plant gene1 ators, transmission tlows and load to meet given stability criteria is usually done by using effective/economical control actions. Future work in the determination of adequate remedial measures for stability enhancement have been proposed in past publications, where the correctiLre control action is handled as an optimization problem. The two-stage formulati .In to achieve the desired stability enhancement utilizes the concepts of Chapta S and this chapter. The first stage handles voltage stability enhancement while [he second-stage optimization scheme deals with angle stability enhancement. The process will lead to a unified index. Hence, when carrying out stability enhancement based on a selected list of contingencies, only enhancement of the app-opriate problem (either voltage or angle) needs to be carried out, thus saving labor and computational time. Future work in unifying the indices while inc,.>rporating the irarious available controls is still a challenge. The reader is intrir ed to research further literature in selected references located at the end of .he book. Also. the annotated glossary of terms supports the chapter.

7 Technology of Intelligent Systems

INTRODUCTION The previous chapters on voltage and angle stability assessment represent rich techniques for the analytical solutions of large interconnected systems. Several important and notable successes have been achieved in solving general simulation based calculations of stability for off-line studies. There remains a large amount of problems in power systems that are largely solved by human experts either in conjunction with results from numerical analysis and decision support systems. The following features frequently characterize these problems: Inadequate model of the real world. Complexity and size of the problems which prohibit timely computation. 3. Solution method employed by the human is not capable of being expressed in an algorithm or mathematical form. It usually involves many rules of thumb. 4. The operator decision making is based on fuzzy linguistics description. 5 . Analysis of security such as voltage or angle is based on human judgement and experience. 1.

FUZZY LOGIC AND DECISION TREES

Fuzzy set theory deFdoped by Prof. Zadeh i n 1965 as a mathematical means of describing vagueness in linguistics. A fuzzy set is ;i generalization of' ordinary sets that allows assigning ii degree of membership for each element to range from (0, I ] iiiterLral. A fuzzy set differs from a crisp set which has a unique binary membership fraction in that the fuzzy set has an infinite number of membership function3 that inay represent it. Fuzzy reasoning offers a way to understand system beha\,ior through in t erpo I at i on approx i in ate1y between i n pu t and o i l t pi1t s i t u a t ions.

ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS

While f i i u ~ expert , 5yrtem. and deci\ion tree technique\ are rule-bii\ed. there are certain AI techniques that use Artificial NeLird Netuforh ( A N N ) pattern rccognition clu5tering \trategies. An ANN is considered ii machine that i \ dc\igiicd to model the M orh the brain performs in dealing ufith a particular t a 4 of intcr-

est. The neural network is usually implemented using electronic components or simulated in a software computation. A neural network performs computatim through learning. It is a massively parallel distributed computation that is trained with the appropriate data and reproduces trained strategies and adapts according to charging situations. Pattern recognition techniques on the other hand, act as classifiers depeiiding on the pattern of interest. Clustering is also one of the unsigned ANN lea-ning techniques. Instead of selecting a training set, we construct a set of unlabelcd trial factors. These techniques use Euclidean distance to estimate the membership in a pattern group or to classify according to some prevailing rates. Of the three intelligent systems approaches discussed here neural netwo *ks are best suited to problems where voluminous data and a complex nonlin:ar relationship exists between the input and output patterns, such as instability assessment and load forecasting problems. Artificial neural network schemes share the ability to identify the model structure of unknown systems with input/ output data and efficiently solve combinational problems, which define their relationships. An overview of artificial neural networks and some significant neural learning algorithms is provided in this chapter. The evaluation of intelligent systems has shown that neural-based approaches are most beneficial for power system stability assessment, due to their ability to generalize and "learn" from historical information. A basic otferv e w of neural computing practices and methods is protided in the next section I n comparison to neural nets, expert system approaches are rather system specific and rigid. Fuzzy set theory is relatively new as a power system analysis tool. Further validation of membership functions and the use of network opera1 ion support using real fault situations warrants further investigation of fuzzy logic as a power system analysis tool. A review of the salient points defining the three intelligent systems discussed here is provided in Table 7.1. ANNs are parallel distributed processing systems composed of nonliiiear processing elements that perform in a manner similar to the most elementary functions of biological neurons. For instance, ANNs possess the ability to Icarn from experience, generalize from previous examples to new ones, and to absf ract pertinent information from examples containing irrelevant or incomplete data. ANNs are not suited to simple mathematical tasks, such as computing tvl tage drops along ;I feeder. However, ANNs are beneficial in solving a great number of pattern recognition problems, that are either computationally burdensome or impossible for conventional iterative programs to solve. Neural networks offer the following advantages: ANNs have the ability to learn and construct a complex nonlinear mapping through a set of input/output examples. The network architec-ture allows for easy training without a need for a structured model.

Input variables can be easily added or deleted. Correlated or uncorrelated data can be utilized. Neural networks have a superior noise rejection capability that can effectively deal with uncertainties of the actual process. Neural networks execute very quickly. Most of the calculation overheads occur during the initial off-lines training. Neural networks consist of a large number of parallel processing units which can be implemented using general or special purpose hardware. Hence neural networks can relieve the burden of computation from the Energy Management System computers. Before neural networks can gain the necessary recognition as useful problem solving tools in the power industry. certain fundamental issues have to be addressed. Some are associated with neural network fundamentals and others are problem dependent and are listed below:

Determining the proper consistency of the training and testing data slits including. the number of patterns. input dimensions. and statistical properties. in order to pro\.ide adequate generalization and kiiowlec ge retention.

Architecture

The artificial neuron, also known as the processing element, is riiodeled to reflect the configuration of the biological neuron (Fig. 7.1 ). A set of input? are applied. each representing the output of another neuron. Each input to a nc tiron is multiplied by ;I weight, corresponding to the input's connection strenglh o r importance to that neuron. The relationship described above is illustrated in Fig. 7.2. Here, ;i sct of inputs, are applied to the neuron. The inputs, collectively defined ;is the \rector X, are niultiplied by their associated weights (W,,)before being applied t o the suriiriiation block, E. The inputs X, now multiplied by the weights. collectiitely defined as the vector W. are summed at the summation block.

Out, = KA,

Where, K is a constant. Or it can be a threshold function, such as: Out = 0 i t A , < 8

Where 8 is a constant threshold value. Alternately, F' may be a function that more accurately simulates the nonlinear characteristics of a biological neuron. and permits more general network functions. One such function is the sigmoid activation function. which is the activation of choice for the majority of conteniporary neural systems.

The sigmoid function is known as a "squashing function," since it conpresses the range of A,, so that the value of Out, never exceeds some low boun 3aries. The boundaries are defined as 0 and 1 in the case of the sigmoid function. For a large value of A,, the denominator in Equation 7.4 would approach I , and thus produce an output close to 1. Likewise, for a value of A, equal to --oo. the denominator in Equation 7.4 would approach +=. and thus produce an output approaching zero. In order to provide a clearer understanding of' the role of the activation function in neural computing, we think of the activation function as defining a nonlinear gain in an analog electronic system. The gain is calculated by cotnpirting the ratio of the change in Out, to a small change in A,. Thus. the gain is the slope of the curve at a specific activation level. The gain may vary front a IOU, value at large negative activation levels, to a high \.due at the zero point, and back to a low value at large positive levels. The central high gain region o f the sigmoidal activation function solves the problem of processing small sign: Is, while its regions of lower gains at positive and negative extremes are app-opriate for large activation lelrels. Thus a neuron ciin perform adequately olrer ;I wide range of input levels. Training the Neural Network

A neural network is trained so that a given stimulus (set of inputs) will produce a desired response (output set). Each input or output set is referred to a; a vector. Training is the process by which input vectors are continuously applied to a network, while adjusting the unknown network components. until e;ich input vector produces the desired output vector.

Training algorithms can be classified as supervised or unsupervised. Supervised training requires pairing each input vector with a desired output, or target vector, together these are called a training pair. Usually, neural networks are trained with a large number of these training pairs. A rule-of-thumb is to have at least 100 such training pairs for each input neuron, in order to represent a wide variety of system conditions. In the supervised training process an input vector is applied, the actual output of the network is determined and compared to the target value. The difference between the actual and target values is the error that is then fed back through the network to update the interconnection weights, and thus, minimize the error. The entire process is repeated until the error for the entire training set has met an acceptable tolerance level. For unsupervised training, the training set consists solely of input vectors. These types of training processes group similar input sets into classes according to the statistical properties of the training set. There is no way to predetermine which output classes will be produced by a given input vector. Therefore, unsupervised training generally requires some postprocessing of data to transform the output classes into some meaningful format. Usually, all that is required is a simple identification of the input-output relationships defined by the netu-ork. Some significant training algorithms are presented and discussed in the next section.

7.2.2 Back Propagation Learning Algorithm Of the existing neural network paradigms, the back propagation learning algorithm is an interesting approach to the solution of classification problems. The back propagation learning algorithm is a technique for optimizing the interconnection weights in an ANN by minimizing the global error between the desired and actual output of all the cases evaluated during the training session. The procedure begins with the presentation of the input stimuli and the desired output of all the training cases and the initialization of all the interconnection weights to random values. The input stimuli are fed forward through the network to compute the actual output values. The error between the desired and actual outputs are computed and propagated back through the network to adjust the weights. This process is repeated until the global error satisfies a prespecified tolerance value.

7.2.3 Counter Propagation Learning Algorithm The counter propagation network is not as robust as the back propagating techniques, but it can provide quick solutions for applications that cannot tolerate long training sessions. The network functions as a look-up table capable of generalization. The training process associates input vectors with their corre-

sponding output vectors. that may be either, in binarjf or continuous form.

This makes the counter propagation network useful fl )r pat t e rn re cognition , pat t e 1-11CO ni p 1e t i on, and sign a 1 enhance men t ripp I i c at i o n s . I ii its simplest form the counter propagation network is ;i combination of two MY Iknown training algorithms. the Kohonen, and the Grossbet-g Outstar. The Kohonen layer functions in a winner take all fashion. That is, for ;I giiteii input vector only one output neuron in the Kohonen layer is acti\rat :cl (oiitputs ;i logical one), all of remaining outputs of the Kohonen layer are h c Id at zero. The net output of each Kohonen neuron is the cveighted sum of' the inputs. therefore, the net output with the highest \ d u e is the "winner." The Grossberg layer functions in a similar manner with its net output eqiial to the sum o f the u,t.ighted values from the Kohonen layer. Since there is oril~, oiie nonzero term from the Kohonen layer the calculution is simple. In fact, Ihc only action of each iieuron in the Grossberg layer is to output the value of rlie weight that connects it to the s i ng 1e lionze r o k oh o ne n ti e U ro 11.

Before starting the training process, all of the Lveight must be initializcd to small random numbers (-0.5 < \t'/,, < + O S ) . This ensures that the net\s.ork is not satiirated by large values of the weights. The random nature of the initial Lireights also allows the network to learn unequal final values of the \+!eightsif that is what is required for optimal performance. /,11,1,

Overview of Training

Training the robust artificial neural network requires the following step-bj -step procedure :

I . Apply all the input vectors from the training set to the netuwh. 2. Calculate the output of the network for each input \rector. 3. Compute the error between the actual network output and the desired output for each input vector. 4. Calculate the global error as the averaged sum of the squared errorh for the entire training set.

Clttrpter 7

IN6

5. Adjust the weights and thresholds in a manner that minimizes the error. 6 . Repeat steps 1-5 until the global error is acceptably low. Upon completion of the training procedure the network is used for recognition and the weights are not changed. It may be seen that steps 1 and 2 constitute ii "forward pass" through the network. in that the signal propagates from the network input to its output. Steps 3-5 are a "reverse pass," where the globiil error propagates backwards through the network and is used to adjust the weights and thresholds. The first two steps in the training procedure can be expressed as follow;: an input vector, X,is applied and an output vector, Out. is produced. The inputtarget vector pair, X and T, comes from the training set. The output vector, Out. is produced as a result of the application of X to the network. Calculations n multi-layer neural nets are performed on a layer by layer basis, beginning wi h the hidden layer closest to the input layer. The weighted values of the inp.it vector are summed in the form:

Where A, = active lektel of neuron j in the hidden layer X, = iIh input from the input vector X W,,,= interconnected weight applied between i"' neuron of input layer and j"'

neuron of hidden layer. The nonlinear sigmoidal activation function is applied to the activati .In level, A , in Eq. (7.7). to dri\.e the value of hidden neurons toward one of the two states (0 or I ; stable or unstable).

(7.7)

Where: H , = output of neuron j in the hidden layer 8, = dynamic threshold value of neuron j in the hidden layer The addition of the threshold value, 8, increases training efficiency. The same process is applied for networks with additional hidden layers with the output of the preceding layer serving as inputs to the next layer in the netwcrk. In the output layer the output nodes are defined as the weighted sum of the outputs from the preceding layer. No activation function is applied at the output node. The output neurons are computed as follows:

Where: Out, = output of kIh neuron in the output layer W$,,a = interconnected weight applied between j"' neuron in the hidden layer and k t hneuron of the output layer. Therefore, the calculation of the outputs of the final layer requires the application of Eq. (7.6) to each layer, from the network's input to its output. In the reverse pass, defined by steps 3-5, two tasks must be accomplished. First, the weight of the output layer must be adjusted. And second, the weight and thresholds of the hidden layers must be adjusted. In order to adjust the weights in the output layer an update factor for each weight must be computed. First, the global error, E, for the entire training set is computed using Eq. (7.9) as the average sum of the squared differences betureen the actual network outputs { OutL]and the target, or desired values, { T,].

The error signal is multiplied by the derivative of the signioid function [Out,( I - Out,)] for the kIh neuron of the output layer, thereby producing the 6 value for the neuron.

the 6 is then multiplied by the output value from the previous layer that corresponds to the weight being adjusted. = 6, H,

(7.1 1 )

where: A H , ~=, update ~ factor for interconnection weight between the j"' neuron in the hidden layer and the k"' neuron in the output layer. An identical process is performed for each weight proceeding from a neuron in the hidden layer to a neuron in the output layer. Adjustment of the weights between the input layer is slightly different, since the hidden layers have no target vectors. Therefore, the undate process described above cannot be used for this set of weights. Equation (7.1 1 ) is used for all of the weights, regardless of location, however, the 6 term for the weight between the input layer and hidden layer must be calculated without the benefit of the target vector. Instead, the 6 values from the output layer are used to adjust the 6 values

i n the first hidden layer :incl the 6's are propagated backisrurds to :ill of thi: preceding layers. Consider a neiiron i n the hidden layer immediately behind the output layer. During the for\\w-d pass the output values of each layer are processed forward to the next layer via the interconnection weights, in ternis of the 6. values ar: passed in the re\'erse direction from the output layer to the hidden layer, during the training period. Each weight between the hidden and output layers is multiplied bjr the 6 \ d u e of the output neuron to which it is attached.

Summary of Learning via Robust Back Propagation ANN

In SLII11111iiry. the learning period consists of ii gibm network uith ;I random w t of \ifeight \falues being simulated by rill of the inpur vectors in a training set. A global system error is computed, which is iisually quite large initially. thus -equiring rici-jijustmentof the interconnection weights via a process known iis training. A irariety of training algorithms exist. of which ii Robust Back propagation has significant advantages o \ ~ classical r Back propagation algorithms. Using the robust procedure, update factors for all of the weights in the network .ire computed based on the global system error between the actual netuork outputs and the target values. A gradient descent method is used to track the global error bvithin an acceptable tolerance level by optirnizing the interconnection weights. The conjugate gradient procedure possesses the ad\,antages of simp licity and minimal storage requirements in mapping ii given input to its coi-responding output state. A successt'iil learning exercise will yield a stable sel 01' utights. which exhibit only minor fluctuations in the \alue if further learning is attempted. Precautions should be taken against "over training," uhich occurs tirhen the network has become too specific to the training data and is no longer ablc to

generalize to previously unseen data. To pre\,ent this occut-rence the networL is periodically presented with test data during the training procedure. If the global system e r r o r increases from one checkpoint to the next then the training proce\+ was halted. A comparison of the robust tool to classical Back propagation paradigms is pre\ented in Table 7.2.

The benefits in speed and accuracy of the Robust ANN over classical Ba:k propagation methods can be traced back to three main characteristics. First, the Robust ANN utilizes a dynamic (adaptive) threshold value for each hidden node during the training session that is updated along with the interconnecti,)n weights as opposed to the arbitrary thresholds that allow for greater individual ty in the learning process for each hidden node and thus have a positive impact on the accuracy of the final output. The second and third beneficial traits of the Robust A N N are coupled. Sir ct' the Robust ANN utilizes a global error function that updates the weights and thresholds based on the average error of the entire data set, the training data can be presented in an identical sequential order for each pass. In contrast, the cla>sical Back propagation method utilizes a local error function that updates the data after each training vector and thus the data must be presented in a differxit random order for each pass, which increases the computational complexity m d thus, the required time for convergence.

7.3.4 Conclusions Several different types of neural nets have been discussed in this section. This is by no means an exhaustive list. A selection has been made based on appl cability to power system problems. While these have been inspired by biological neurons. the issue is not their ability to exactly model biological systems. hut their importance a s another solution paradigm for power system problems. The area of artificial networks is a very active field of research. For instance, it includes neural smithing for optimal architecture and learning design. Pruning techniques are used to determine the optimal number of neurons; to solve a specific problem. and adaptive learning algorithms to avoid retrairiing for large data sets. Training with noise can be used i n order- to overcome o\wfi(ting problems. There are continuing efforts to combine and enhance A N N methods *.s,ith regularization theory. stochastic, Bayesian, or other statistical and pattern ret.wgnition techniques in order to define optimality criteria for ANN perforinancc. I n fact, ANNs might be considered a set of highly adaptive statistical tools. I t itormation-theoretic concepts are introduced i n order to measure how ANNs gcnt'ralize, i.e., how they will perform on unknown test data. Finally, the combination of neural networks mrith other AI techniques like symbolic structures from expert systems, fuzzy logic, and genetic algorithr-is is being explored for many technical applications. Here complex problem: are described with fuzzy techniques or expert rules and the subsequent classitication, regression, or optimization tasks are solved with ANNs.

EXPERT SYSTEMS

It is not easy to give a precise definition of an eqwrt system. because the concept of the expert system itself is changing as technological advances in computer systems take place and new tasks are incorporated into the old ones. In simple words, it can be defined as a computer systetn that models the reasoning and action processes of a human expert in a given problem area. Expert systems, like human experts, attempt to reason within specific knowledge domains. An expert system allows the knowledge and experience of one or more experts to be captured and stored in a computer. This knowledge can then be used by anyone requiring it. The purpose of an expert system is not to replace the experts, but simply to make their knowledge and experience more widely available. Typically there are more problems than there are experts aF&lable to handle them. The expert system permits others to increase their productivity. improve the quality of their decisions, or simply to solve problems when an expert is not available. Valuable knowledge is a major resource and it often lies with only a fen experts. It is important to capture that knowledge so others can use it. Experts retire, get sick, move on to other fields, and otherwise become unavailable. Thu\ the knowledge is lost. Books can capture some knowledge. but they lea1.e the problem of application to the reader. Expert systems provide direct means of applying expertise. An expert system has three main components: a knowlecigc~Imw. an irfkrerice erigirie, and a rrtnri-machine iriterfclce. The knowledge base is the set of rules describing the domain knowledge for use in problem solving. The prime element of the man-machine interface is a working memory which serves to store information from the user of the system and the intermediate results of knowledge processing. The inference engine uses the domain knowledge together with the acquired information about the problem to reason and provide an expert solution. 7.4.1

A Working Definition

An expert system is an artificial intelligence (AI) program incorporating a knowledge base and an inferencing system. It is a highly specialized piece of software that attempts to duplicate the function of an expert in some field of expertise. The program acts as an intelligent consultant or advisor in the domain of interest, capturing the knowledge of one or more experts. Nonexperts can then tap the expert system to answer questions, solve problems, and make decisions in the domain. The expert system is a fresh new, innovative way to capture and package

knowledge. Its strength lies i n its ability to be put to practical use when ;in expert is not :i\xilable. Expert systems riiake knowledge more widely a\,ailable and help overcome the age-old problem of translating knowledge into practical results. It is one more way the technology is helping us to get a handle o n 11-e o\.ersupply of information. All AI software is knowledge-based ;IS it contairrs useful fricts, data. and relationships that are applied to a problem. Expert systems, howe\rer, are LI special type of knowledge based syste ii they contain heuristic knowledge. Heuristics are primarily from real world exp8:rience. not from textbooks. It is knowledge that comes directly from those people-the experts-who have worked for many years within the domain. It is knowledge derived from learning by doing. It is perhaps the most useful kirid o f knowledge, specifically related to everyday problems. I t has been said that knowledge is power. Certainly there is truth in that but in a more practical senw. knonrledge becomes power only when it is applied. The bottom line in any ficld of endeavor is RESULTS, some positive benefit o r outcome. Expert systems i re one niore \+'ay to achieFre results fiister and easier.

7.4.2 Characteristics of Expert Systems One advantage of the expert system is its permanence. Human expertise c ;in quickly fade. regardless o f whether it involves mental or physical activity. In expert must constantly practice and rehearse to rnaintain proficiencjc in so no probleni area. An significant period o f disuse can seriously affect the expel 1's perforrnance. Once expertise is acquired i n an expert system. it is around forever, barring catastrophic accidents related to memory storage. Its perinanelice is not related to its use. Another ad\.antage of the expert system is the ease c+.ith which it ciin be transferred o r reproduced. Transferring from one human to mother is the labi)rio u s , lengthy. and expensiLVe process called education ( o r in some ciises. knoufledge engineering). Transterring an expert system is the tri\.ial process of cop>'ing o r cloning a program o r data file. An expert system is also much easic. to document. Documenting human expertise is extremely difficult and time c o n suming. Documenting :in expert sj'stem is ;I straight forwud mapping bet\+ecn the way in that the expertise is represented i n the system and the naturiil 1;ingU age de sc r i pt ion of that r epre sen t iit i on . An expert system produces niore consistent. reproducible results than does the human expert. A human expert may make different decisions in idenl ical si tiiations because o f emotional factors. For exaniple. 11 human m a ~ f' orgc t to use a n important rule in ii crisis situation because of time pressure o r stress An expert system is not susceptible to these distractions. A final advantage of the expert system is its low cost. Human experts, especially the highly skilled ones, itre very sc;irce and hence very expena9i\fo.

Expert systems, in contrast, are relatively inexpensi\re. They are costl}! to develop but relatively inexpensive to operate. Their operating cost is .just the nominal computer cost of running the program. Their high de\relopment cost ( j'ears of effort of high-priced knowledge engineers and domain experts) is offset b!, their low operating cost and the ease of making new copies of the system. Although expert systenis tend to perform well, there are important are;is i n which hurnan expertise is clearly superior to the artificial kind. This does not reflect a fundamental limitation of expert systems or A I , just the ci~rrentstateof-t h e- art . One such area is creativity. People are much more creative and inno\.ati\~ than even the smartest programs. A human expert can reorganize information and use it to synthesize new knowledge. while an expert system tends to beha\-e in a somewhat uninspired routine manner. Human experts handle unexpected ei'ents by using iniaginati\re and novel approaches to problem sol\.ing, including draw i n g analog i e s to s i t u at i ons i n com ple te 1y d i ffe ren t pro b 1e 111 dom ;i i n s . Programs have had little success in doing this. Another area where human expertise excels is learning. Human experts adapt to changing conditions: they adjust their strategies to conform to n e ~ ' situations. Expert systems are not particularly adept at learning new concepts o r rules. probably because it is a very difficult task that has ;il\+ays been made i n dekreloping progrms that learn, but these programs tend to ~ + w r ki n cxtremely simple domains and do not do well when confronted \+.it11 the complex it!^ and de tai Is of re a1- wo r I d pro b1ems. Human experts can make direct use of complex sensory input, Likther it be sight. sound. taste, or smell. But expert systems nianipulrite sqwibols that represent ideas and concepts, so sensory data must be transformed into s ~ m b o l s that can be understood by the system. Quite a bit of information niay be lost in translation, especially when visual scenes are mapped into sets of ob-jects and the relations between them, Human experts can look at the big picture, examine all aspects of ;i problem. and see how they relate to the central issue. Expert systems. on the othcr hand. tend to focus on the problem itself, ignoring issues rele\mt to. but sepiirate from. the basic problem. This happens because it takes ;i huge amount of expertise just to handle the basic problem, and it would take almost ;is much expertise to handle each of the hundreds of tangential probleins that could arise. In the future, when faster and cheaper techniques for acquiring expert k n o ~ v l edge are developed. this situation may change. 7.4.3 Applications in Power System Operations The focus of expert system research in the power systems operations area has been to help the system operator to function more effecti\~ely.Specific ob-jectives include:

Chcr],te,. :7

Understanding the interface requirements to integrate databases, vari ous computer architectures, full graphics systems, and applications software expected in future control centers; Defining the appropriate applications of expert systems (e.g., as a routine aid to operators, providing action plans during emergencies, or the rebuilding of a system after a major disturbance); Building domain specific knowledge for general purpose expert systerns (e.g., rules and techniques used by today's experienced operators to handle the daily operation of a power system): Developing and evaluating specific expert systems (e.g., replacing tcdious jobs done by humans); Demonstrating expert systems that aid the operators in the most co>t effective areas. Control center operators benefit from using expert systems because suc n systcrns not only identify a problem. but they can also provide the underlyins reasoning used to define the problem, and a set of recommended actions t:) ameliorate the problem. The best applications of expert systems have been i 11 diagnostic situations where information about the system being studied is held in static tables. For application in power systerns, information about the systern can be taken from the real time database or a simulator.

7.4.4 Rule-Based System There is a lot of confusion about terminology in the artificial intelligence literature because there are few standardization efforts. So in the following paragraph we present the definitions used in this chapter. A knowledge-based system is ' a program in which the domain knowledge is explicit and separate from the program's other knowledge." It consists of the following fi\re components: tt e knowledge base, the knowledge acquisition module, the inference engine, the explanation module. and the user interface (Fig. 7.3). The Knowledge Base Contains Facts and Rules Like any database, the knowledge base contains the data, called facts, whkh describe fixed properties of the problem. In addition, a knowledge base contairis instructions describing how to process these data. If these instructions are given in an IF . . . THEN . . . rule format, then we are talking about a rule-based sy st e in. For the rule IF A THEN B, A is called the left-hand side (LHS) and B the right hand side (RHS) of the rule. If A and B are logical expressions which ciln be true or false. A is called the premise and B the conclusion. But as we w I I

ENGINE

t

Figure 7.3 Knowledge-based system.

see later, we will also include actions like closing an element in the LHS or the RHS of a rule. These actions will change the initial facts. They cannot be considered as simple logic expressions. These facts and instructions represented as rules may already hakre been formulated and written down explicitly because they are common inkvariable knowledge of the domain. In our case there exist manuals describing the possible actions which can be performed on different elements and normally ekreryone familiar with these manuals can manipulate these elements. In particular these manuals describe the problem completely. Nevertheless this work i n control centers is done by operators who are certainly experts i n this domain and who know their domain by heart. In other cases, there is a human expert who uses heuristic or complex knowledge acquired during years of work. Often this kind of knowledge is incomplete and the reasoning mechanism applied by the human expert cannot be replaced by pure logic rules. For instance, intuition or so called common sense cannot be formalized this way. The main reason why we call our systcm a rulebased system and not an expert system is due to the fact that in principle our knowledge is complete. It can easily be formulated as rules. Also we do not want to contribute the misunderstanding that in any domain where a human expert explains his knowledge by I F . . . THEN , . . rules, this reasoning can be efficiently implemented by an expert system. This misunderstanding leads to hundreds of unsatisfying feasibility studies on expert system applications which can be found in the literature today. In short, a rule-based system is a special case of a knowledge-based system.

Fuzzy sets with a finite support assume that .Y, is an element of the support of fuzzy set A and that p 1 is its grade of membership in A . Then A is written as (7.16)

When X is an interval of real numbers a fuzzy set A is expressed as (7.17)

An empty fuzzy set has an empty support which implies that the membership function assigns 0 to all elements of the universal set. A technical concept closely related to the support set is the alpha-level set or the "a-c-irt." An alpha-level is a threshold restriction on the domain of the

fuzzy set based on the membership grade of each domain value. This set, A . is the a-cut of A which contains all the domain \falues that are part of the f ~ i ; ~ set at a minimum membership value of a . There are two kinds of a-cuts: n ~ a k and strong. The weak a-cut is defined as A,, = ( X . p,,(.r( 2 U } and the strong acut as A,, = (X,p,., (.Y( > a}. Also, the alpha-level set describes a p o i + w o r strength function that is used by fuzzy models to decide whether or not ;i truth ~ ~ a l ushould e be considered equi~~alent to zero.

The argument to the function in Eq. (7.20) returns the membership grade of the element in the set consisting of the intersection of A and B. A conjunction or intersection makes use of only those aspects of set A and set B that appear in both sets which expresses the minimum value for the two fuzzy sets in\.ol\-ed. 7.5.6

Complement of a Fuzzy Set

The complement of A , - A , which is the part of the domain not i n a set, can also be characterized by Not-A. This is produced by inverting the truth function along each point of the fuzzy set and is defined by the membership function

The complement registers the degree to which an element is complementary to the underlying fuzzy set concept. That is, how compatible is an element‘s value I.\-] with the assertion, x is NOT J , where .\-is an element from the domain and .v is a fuzzy region. A fuzzy complement is actually a metric. It measures the distance between two points in the fuzzy regions at the same domain. The linear displacement between the complementary regions of the fuzzy regions determines the degree to which one set is a counter example of the other set. We can also view this as a measure of the fuzziness or information entropj’ i n the set. Defining Fuzzy Sets The steps below gi\re general guidelines i n defining fuzzy sets. 1.

EXPERT REASONING A N D APPROXIMATE REASONING Fuzzy Measures

The fuzzy measure assigns a value to each crisp set of the universal set signifling the degree of evidence or belief that a particular element belongs in the set. For example, we might want to diagnose an ill patient by determining whethttr this patient belongs to the set of people with, pneumonia. bronchitis, emph1.sema, or a common cold. A physical examination may provide us with helpfril yet inconclusive evidence. Therefore, we might assign a high value, 0.75. to our best guess, bronchitis, and a lower value to the other possibilities, such as 0.45 to pneumonia. 0.30 to a common cold, and 0 to emphysema. These values rcflect the degree to which the patient's symptoms provide evidence for one disease rather than another, and the collection of these values constitutes a fuz;ty measure representing the uncertainty o r ambiguity associated with several welldefi ne d a I t e rn at i v e s. A fuzzy measure is a function

p C P(x) is a family of subsets of X such that: I . $ E p a n d X ~p. 2. If A E p then E p. 3. I f p is closed under the operation of set union, that is if A E p arid B E p. then also A U B E p. The set p is called a Bore1 field, since A U B 2 A and A U B 2 B . We ha1 e where

max[g(A). , q ( B ) ]5 g(A UB) due to the required monotonicity. Similarly, since n B C ,4 and A f l B C B. we have (?(A fl B ) 5 min[g(A),g(B)]. Two large classes of f u z y measures are referred to as belief and plausibilitj nieasures which are complementary (or dual) in the sense that one of them cqin be uniquely derived from the other. Given a basic assignment 111. a belief measure and ii plausibility measure are uniquely determined by the formulas

which are applicable for all A E p(x). Also m(A) refers to the degree of evidence or belief that a specific element of X belongs to the set A alone. The beliyf i?ze~i.sure, Bel(A), represents the total evidence or belief that the element belongs to the set A as well as to the various special subsets of A. The p l a i t s i h i l i f ~ nieasur-e, P l ( A ) , represents not only the total evidence or belief that the element in question belongs to the set A or to any of its subsets but also the additional evidence or belief associated with sets that overlap with A . There are also three important special types of plausibility and belief measures, prohcihility i ? ~ ~ w . w i - e . s and a pair of complementary measures referred to as possihility criicf riecx).ssir!, measures. 7.6.2

Approximate Reasoning

The root mechanism in a fuzzy model is the proposition. These are statements of relationships between mode variables and one or more fuzzy regions. A series of conditional and unconditional fuzzy associations or propositions is evaluated for its degree of truth and all those that have some truth contribute to the final output state of the solution variable set. The functional tie between the degree of truth in related fuzzy regions is called the method of implication. The functional tie between fuzzy regions and the expected value of a set point is called the method of defuzzification. Taken together these constitute the backbone of approximate reasoning. Hence an approximate reasoning system combines the attributes of conditional and unconditional fuzzy propositions, correlation methods, implication (truth transfer) techniques, proposition aggregation, and defuzzification. Unlike conventional expert systems where statements are executed serially, the principal reasoning protocol behind fuzzy logic is a parallel paradigm. I n conventional knowledge-based systems pruning algorithms and heuristics are applied to reduce the number of rules examined, but in a fuzzy system all the rules are fired. 7.6.3

The Role of Linguistic Variables

Fuzzy models manipulate linguistic variables. A linguistic variable is the representation of a fuzzy space which is essentially a fuzzy set derived from the evaluation of the linguistic variable. A linguistic variable encapsulates the properties of approximate or imprecise concepts in a systematic and computationally useful way. The organization of a linguistic variable is:

Clltr/’t‘~l7

(7.2:’ I

where predicate q represents usuality o r frequency yualifiers, I i represents ;I hedge and j : is the core fuzzy set. The presence of qualifier(s) and hedge(s) i s optional. Hedges change the shape of fuzzy sets in predictable ways and func:tion in the saine fashion as adverbs and adjectiires in the English languitgc. Frequency and usuality qualifiers reduce the deri\red fuzzy set by restricting t t e truth niembership function to ;I range consistent uith the intentional meaning of the qualifier. Although 11 linguistic variable may consist o f many separate ierm\. i t is consictered ii single entity in the fuzzy proposition.

7.6.4 Fuzzy Propositions A f u z q model consists of‘ii series o f conditional and unconditional tuzzy prop^ sitions. A proposition o r statement establishes a relationship between a \-alue I I I the underlJring domain and ;I f’iizzy space. Propo.sitiori is one that is qualified an “it” statement.

We interpret an unconditional fuz7y proposition ;is .Y is the minimum subset o f Y m.hen the output fuzzy set X i \ empty. then X is restrictcd to 1’. othercvisc. for the clotiiain o f 1; X becomes the nziri(X, k’). The solutioii fuzzy space is updated by taking the intersection of the solution set ancl the target fuzzy set. If ii model contains ;i mixture of conditional o r unconditional propositioiis, then the order o f execution becomes important. Unconditional propositions are gent.rally used to establish the defnult support set for a model. If none o f the conditional rules executes, than ii b-alue for the solution krariable is deterrnincd from the space bounded by the cinconditionals. For this reason they must he executed bcfore any o f the conditionals. The effect o f ei.:iluating ii fuzz>.p r o l ~ ) sition is ;I clegree o r grade o f iiieiiibership deric,ecl from the trmsfer functioti

where .r is a scalar from the domain and Y is ;I linguistic \variable. This is the essence of an approximate statement. The derived truth membership \Value establishes a compatibility between .r and the generated fuzzy space. This truth value is used i n the correlation and implication transfer functions to create or update fuzzy solution space. The final solution fuzz), space is created by aggregating the collection of correlated fuzzy proposition. 7.6.5

Fuzzy Implication

The rrzoriotoriic method is a basic fuzzy implication technique for linking the truth of two general fuzzy regions. When two fuzzy regions are related through a simple proportional implication function. if.\- is Y then :is 1.1'

functionally represented by the transfer function

then under a restricted set of circumstances, a fuzzy reasoning sq'stem can de\relop an expected \value without going through composition and decomposition. The value of the output is estimated directly from a corresponding truth membership grade i n the antecedent fuzzy regions. While the antecedent fuzzy expression might be complex, the solution is not produced by any formal method of defiizzification. but by a direct slicing of the consequent, fuzzy set at the antecedent's truth level. Monotonic reasoning acts as a proportional correlating function between two general fuzzy regions. The important restriction on monotonic reasoning is its requirement that the output for the model be a single fuzzy variable controlled by a single fuzzy rule (with an arbitrary complex predicate 1. The multiplication space generated by the general composition r-irlc..~ of' irzfi~r-rric-e is derived from the aggregated and correlated fuzzy spaces produced b), the interaction of many statements. In effect all the propositions are run in parallel to create an output space that contains information from all the propositions. Each conditional proposition whose evaluated predicate truth is abo\re the current a-cut threshold contributes to the shape of the output solution Lrariable's fuzzy representation. There are two principal methods of inference i n fiizzy systems: the min-max method and the fuzzy additive method. These methods differ in the way they update the solution variable's output fuzzy representation. For the riziti-1w.v irzjkr-rrzcr method the consequent fuzzy region is restricted to the minimum of the predicate truth. The output fuzzy region is updated by

2 IN

Chtrprer 7

taking the maximum of these minimized fuzzy sets. The consequent fuzzy s c t is modified before it is used to set each truth function element to the minimum of either the truth function or truth of the proposition’s predicate. The solution fuzzy set is updated by taking, for each truth function value, the maximum c ~ f either the truth value of the solution fuzzy set or the fuzzy set that was correlated to produce the minimum of consequent. These steps result in reducing the strength of the fuzzy set output to equal the maximum truth of the predicate and then, using this modified fuzzy region, applying it to the output by using the OR (union) operator. When all the propositions have been evaluated, the output contains a fuzzy set that reflects the contribution from each proposition. The fuzzy additive compositional inference method updates the soluticn variable’s fuzzy region in a slightly different manner. The consequent fuzzy region is still reduced by the maximum truth value of the predicate, but the output fuzzy region is updated by a different rule, the bounded-sum operatioi. Instead of taking the ma~(p,~)[.r,], p,,[y,]) at each point along the output fuzi.4. set, the truth membership functions are added. The addition is bounded by [ I , 01 so that the result of any addition cannot exceed the maximurn truth value o f a fuzzy set. The use of the fuzzy additive implication method can provide a better representation of the problem state than systems that rely solely on the min-max inference scheme. 7.6.6

Correlation Methods

The process of correlating the consequent with the truth of the predicate s t e m from the observation that the truth of the fuzzy action cannot be any greater than the truth of the proposition’s premise. There are two principal methods ot restricting the height of the consequent fuzzy set: correlation minimum and correlation product. The most common method of correlating the consequent with the premise truth truncates the consequent fuzzy region at the truth of the premise. This is called correlation minimum, since the fuzzy set is minimized 3y truncating i t at the maximum of the predicate’s truth. The cw-rlelcrtionn i i n i v i i ! u i mechanism usually creates a plateau since the top of the fuzzy region is sliced by the predicate truth value. This introduces a certain amount of informatim loss. If the truncated fuzzy set is multi-modal or otherwise irregular, the surfrice topology above the predicate truth level is discarded. The correlation method, however, is often preferred over the correlation product (which does preser c-e the shape of the fuzzy region) since it intuitively reduces the truth of the conxquent by the maximum truth of the predicate, involves less complex and faster arithmetic, and generates an aggregated output surface that is easier to defuzzify using the conventional techniques of composite moments (centroid) or composite maximum (center of maximum height). While correlation minimum is the most frequently used technique, the tor-

relation product offers an alternative and, in many ways, better method of achieving the correlation. With correlatioti product, the intermediate fuzzy region is scaled instead of truncated. The truth membership function is scaled using the truth of the predicate. This has the effect of shrinking the fuzzy region while sill retaining the original shape of the fuzzy set. The correlation product mechanism does not introduce plateaus into the output fuzzy region. although it does increase the irregularity of the fuzzy region and could affect the results obtained from composite moments or composite maximum defuzzification. This lack of explicit truncation has the consequence of generally reducing information loss. If the intermediate fuzzy set is multimodal, irregular, or bifurcated i n other ways this surface topology will be retained when the final fuzzy region is aggregated with the output variable’s under generation fuzzy set.

7.6.7 Aggregation The evaluation of the model proposition is handled through an aggregation process that produces the final fuzzy regions for each solution variable. This region is then decomposed using one of the defuzzification methods. Methods of Defuzzification

Using the general rule of fuzzy inference, the evaluation of a proposition produces one fuzzy set associated with each model solution variable. Defuzzification or decomposition involves finding a value that best represents the information contained in the fuzzy set. The defuzzification process yields the expected value of the variable for a particular execution of a fuzzy model. In fuzzy models, there are several methods of defuzzification that describe the ways we can derive an expected value for the final fuzzy state space. Defuzzification means dropping a “plumb line” to some point on the underlying domain. At the point where this line crosses the domain axis, the expected value of the fuzzy set is read. Underlying all the defuzzification functions is the process of finding the best place along the surface of the fuzzy set to drop this line. This generally means that defuzzification algorithms are a compromise with a tradeoff between the need to find a single point result and the loss of information such as a process entails. The two most frequently used defuzzification methods are composite moments (centroid) and composite maximum. The crtitrwicl or center or graLrity technique finds the balance point of the solution fuzzy region by calculating the weighted mean of the fuzzy region. Arithmetically, for fuzzy solution region A , this is formulated as (7.25)

where tl is the /'" domain value and u(t1) is the truth membership value for that domain point. A centroid or composite moment defuzzification finds a point representing the fuzzy set's center of grak4y. A iiiti.viiiiiiiii c~~c.onipositit,ri find.; the domain point with the maximum truth. There are three closely related kind\ of composite maximum techniques: the average maximurn, the center of maxiniurii, and the simple composite maximum. If this point is ambiguous (that i>. it lies along a plateau), then these methods employ a conflict resolution approac I such as averaging the values or finding the center of the plateau. Also there are other techniques for decomposing a fuzzy set into an expected value.

Application of Artificial Intelligence to Angle Stability Studies

INTRODUCTION The computational requirements associated with dynamic security analysis (DSA) by conventional methods are two or three orders of magnitude more than the requirements for static security analysis. Therefore comprehensi\~eon-line DSA is infeasible in present power system control centers. The exploitation of novel techniques to solve the problem of DSA is essential for on-line implementation. The interest in application of artificial intelligence ( A I ) to dynamic security analysis has been increasing steadily. The following advantages are addressed through using these methods: I.

A N N APPLICATION IN TRANSIENT STAB1LlTY ASSESSMENT

The comprehensive on-line DSA is infeasible in present power system control centers. The exploitation of novel techniques to solve the problem of DSA is essential for on-line implementation. Neural network ( N N ) is one of the stateof-the-art methods used to perform dynamic security analysis in power systeins. The interest in N N methods has been increasing in \carious fields because they can work well where rule-based expert systems and conventional algorithms .ire inadequate. For example, quantitative rules based on subjective inputs can be better implemented as ;I neural network classifier which can be trained on precisely defined training examples. 8.1.1

Robust ANN-Based Transit Energy Function

Earlier in this book, the formulation of the dynamic stabilitjr problem for m u l t i power system was presented. As previously stated, the process by which o p r n tors and planners monitor the behavior of power systems, screen the imious random and scheduled contingencies that may occur, and recommend correct ive control action( s ) to maintain or regain system stability, is known as dynamic security assessment (DSA). A hybridized tool, that incorporates the beneficial aspects of a structured preserving energy function arid a robust artificial neriral network. has been implemented to solve the contingency screening problen I of DSA. It is more accurate than conventional transient energy function ( T 5F) methods. since the load buses will be modeled as nonlinear voltage dependent components instead of being absorbed into the admittance matrix. while m;iintaining the robust ANN properties of both speed and tlexibility. Developncent of the ANN-enhanced TEF tool involves the construction of two modules, corresponding to the trainingksting mode of one operation and the recall modt: of the other operation respectively. An implementation scheme for both modules of the integrated tool is provided here. Specific emphasis is placed on the training of the robust ANN, the handling of the "over-training" issue and the evaluation of network performa ice. Description ot Learning Process tor the Robust ANN-Based TEF Every neural system is subject to a learning process, through which a relationship is established between a set of known inputs and 11 known result. The learning algorithm for the robust ANN tool is shown in Fig. 8.1. The sunis o f the weighted inputs at each node of the hidden layer of the net were compi ted. The sigmoidal activation was then applied to the sum of each hidden node in order to represent a better representation of the effects of the input stimuli. The weighted sum of the hidden nodes was then computed as the initial output of

the ANN. The error for each case was computed as the sum of the squares of the differences between the desired and the actual outputs. For each interation, the global error was computed as the average of the sum of the errors for the cases evaluated.

The mininiization routine, shown in Fig. 8.2, was then used to determitie the gradient of the unknowns (weights and thresholds) with respect to the global error. These \Aues were then used to update unknowns and the input stimuli u'ere prescnted to the network over and over again. until the tolerance l i m i t u'as satisfied. The final values ot' the weights and thresholds were then used by t'ie recall module of the ANN enhanced energy function (TEF) tool to map t ie relationship between components of the energy of the system and the stabililqr/ instability of the system. The data generated by the TEF program was then presented to the roblist ANN, u n t i l the specified criteria \+riis satisfied. Approximately I000 cases 1t.t re ewluated. \ f r i t h close to 60% of those dedicated to training the ANN tool. The reiis011 for the \.List number of training cases was t o ensure that ii dikrerse repi-esentation of the sqsteni, under \.arious conditions. u'as prokrided to the ANN. Again. the learning algorithm utilized a conjugate gradient search procediir-t. t o compute the minimum value o f the error function and thus optimize the interconnection weights and threshold values.

Therefore, simple netnrork architecture is utilixd :is a base case and more complex topologies \+!eree\ aluated i n turn. The accuracy of the training session was defined by a user-spccificd tolerunce o f 10.'. Once the conLwgence criteria had been realized the retwork uas tested using data not presented during training. The results o f h e testing phase demonstrated the ability of the A N N to generalize. An additional routine was included to prek'ent the network from "o\ ertraining" o r becoming too specific to the training set. This \+';isaccomplislied t y t.\~aluatingthe global error function with respect t o the test data (data not used for training) subject to the weights and thresholds at ei'erq' t\i.cntj,-t't'th iteration of the learning process.

The defuzzification process is based on the center-of-gravity method. Once the proper rules are obtained, the proper parameter tuning should be d in order to achiekre good performance. Tuning of FLPSS parameters can be a tedious trial-and-error process if not enough information is a\railiible about the range of controller ~w-iablesand how they change mrith different disturbances.

CONCLUSIONS Unlike the classical design approach, which requires a deep understmding of the system, exact mathematical models, and precise numerical values. ;i basic feature of the fuzzy logic controller is that a process c;in be controlled urithout the knowledge of its underlying dynamics.

Thus, fuzzy logic controllers are suitable for nonlinear, dynamic prccesses for which an exact mathematical model may not be available.

Application of Artificial Intelligence to Voltage Stability Assessment and Enhancement of Electrical Power Systems

INTRODUCTION Most of the voltage collapse related incidents are believed to be related to hearily stressed systems where large amounts of real and reactive power are transported over long EHV transmission lines while appropriate power resources are not available to maintain normal voltage profiles at receiving end buses. I n some cases, however, voltage profiles show no abnormality prior to undergoing \yoltage collapse because of load variations. Operators may observe no ad\Fance warning signals until sudden significant changes in the voltage magnitude result in actions of automatic protective equipment to crash the network. This phenomenon is caused by large and small disturbances. Large disturbances consist of the loss of generators, transmission lines, and transformers. Small disturbances on the other hand consist of slow variation in the system load. The common analytical techniques used for voltage stability assessment during these disturbances are:

Minimum singular value decomposition which determine the singularity of the Jacobian matrix of the system under study; The concept of multiple load flow solutions which are used for determining the proximity of a particular voltage collapse point. This method derives the variation of load change for specified bus Froltage degradation;

The condition number of power flow Jacobian matrix used to estimat: the voltage collapse point; and 5. The continuation method, which computes the neighborhood of wltag: collapse for variation in load. The scheme is based on the solution rf the load flow equations by suitable modification of the Jacobian using ii continuation parameter to avoid singularity of the Jacobian near tht. collapse point. There are a lot of reservations about the results, accuracy. difficulties, and the computational burden involved i n using these techniques. Therefore, a tool Lvhich can probide timely e\raluation of voltage stability of the system i i n d t ~ diirersified operating conditions would be very useful. In recent years, efforts to irnprokre on speed, accuracy, and ability to handle stressed / i I 1-con d i t i one d sy st e ni s have 1ed to the de v e 1opine n of i n t e 11i ge n t sy :itenis-based tools. The potential application of ANN. and ES as alternati\,e approaches for solving certain difficult power system problems, where the con\'t'titional techniques ha\re not achiekred the desired speed, acciiracy, or efficicnc y is quite promising. This chapter deals with the application of ANN and ES to \,oltage stabili-y iissess men t.

ANN-BASED VOLTAGE STABILITY ASSESSMENT

The purpose of ANN-based voltage stability assessment is to obtain the n i a ~i niiini MW loading of the system for a given contingency without conductilig P1' studies. The proposed scheme for ANN-based wltage stability assessment iitilizes a multi-layer feed forward network employing back propagation algorithni for the training process. Details of constructing the network architecture, preparation of the training data, and testing process N f i l l be done in the follou.iiig sect ions. 9.1.1

Mechanism for Generating Training Data Based on Modal Analysis

The mechanism used for the production of the data needed for training the proposed network is based on modal analysis, employing V Q sensitivities that have the ability to identify areas that have potential problems and pro\ride information regarding the mechmism of ivltage collapse. The method can be tlescri bed as follows:

The system dynamic behavior can be expressed by the first order differential equation.

x =,fcx.v, where X = state vector of the system V = bus Lroltage Lfector Under the steady state condition X = 0, using enhanced device models. the linearized power tlow equations can be written as:

where: AP,/: Incremental change in device real power output: AQ,/: Incremental change in the device reactive power output; A@,/:Incremental change in the device voltage angle; A Incremental change in the device voltage magnitude;

v/:

J,*. J,,l,J,,, and J,, represent a modified form of the ponfer tlow Jacobian elements in the terms associated with each device. We can study the QV sensitivity while keeping P constant. and substitute A P = 0 in the linearized power flow equations to give after some simplification.

where

We examine the eigen values and the eigen vectors of the reduced Jacobian .Ih'. to arrive at:

where A - ' is a diagonal matrix with entries l/h,,h, is the i"' modal tvltage. \! = q A V and q = qAQ. The bus participation factors determine the contribution of each h, to 1'0 sensitivity at bus k . They can be expressed in terms of the left and right eigcn \rectors of J K , as:

The branch participation factors P,, which give the relative participation )f branchj in mode I are given by: p,, =

AQloss for b r a n c h j max A Q for all branches

The A Q loss can be found by calculating the A V and A 0 change at both ends of the branch. The generator participation factors c,,,that gic-e the relative participation of machine in mode i are given by: 1~ er,,= rnaxA AQ Qforformachine all machines

The machine participation factors can be used to determine the generatclrs that supply the most reactive power on demand. The reactive reserve at these generators can contribute heavily to voltage stability. The modal analysis algorithm is utilized in the EPRI VSTAB program. 9.1.2

The number of the neuron in the hidden layer was obtained experimentally i.e., this number was determined from studying the network behavior during the training process taking into consideration some factors like convergence rate, error criteria, etc. In this regard, different configurations will be tested and the best suitable configuration will be selected based on the accuracy level required. The output layer consists of one neuron representing the predicted maximum MW loading in MW. 9.1.3

Training Process

The data needed for the training process is obtained from the simulation results using EPRI VSTAB. Next the results from VSTAB are analyzed and processed for training and testing. The training data exploited about 75% of the simulation results. Finally, the data sets, set aside for testing, were presented for the trained network for the testing process. The data was modified to satisfy the input requirements of the neural network for better discrimination between data sets. One thousand cases were produced by the VSTAB program for the training and testing process. The accuracy during the training process was set to 1 .OE-03. The configuration with 5 neurons achieved a convergence tolerance below 1 .E-03 in about 1000 iterations. The

configuration with 7 Iieiirons i n the hidden layer achiewd the same accuracy le\,el with ii higher number of training iterat,ons.

A few hundred load configurations were generated using ii random perturbat ion around the base load and the preceding procedure u.as repeated for all different 1oad con fi g Urii t ions. Different ANN urchitectures urere constructed uith hidden nodes ranging from 2-20, and hidden layers from 1-2. The different ANN were trained lY,ith

5. The addition of an extra hidden layer did not improve the performance of the ANN. 6. With 2 hidden layers and with less than 6 hidden nodes in each laye1. the ANN did not converge below the tolerance within 100.000 present a t ion s. 7. For architectiires comprising 6 hidden nodes i n each layer, the number of presentations required for convergence was about 10.000. 8. For 10 hidden nodes in each layer. the ANN converged in about 3600 presentations. A comparison of the test results using the different architectures uith 1 hidden layer are shown in Tables 9.1-9.3. The errors are expressed in MW and MVAR for better readability. Fror-i these tables the following remarks are made: The maximum error is in its maximum \Aue for the network with 3 and 4 hidden nodes. 2. The error starts decreasing at 5 hidden nodes and stabilizes for 6 hidden nodes and higher. 3. The lowest average error is with 7 hidden nodes or uith 30 hidden nodes. 4. Since a smaller architecture is naturally preferred, the architecture w i t h 7 hidden nodes is recommended for the study. 1.

Knowledge Acquisition and Presentation

The knowledge about the system performance variables and sensiti\?ityparaiiieters may be acquired off-line. The knowledge that needs to be acquired is BS fo 11oW h :

I . Load history: 2. System configurations and critical outages; 3. Control variables: generator taps, VAR, etc.: 4. List of facts on generator data, bus data, capacitor data. line data, and interchange data: and 5 . Solution models and techniques. The identification variables involve the relevant parameters associated \vith load history, critical line outages, control variables, and other niodeling techniques. From the voltage collapse detection schemes reviewed, i t was found that load history is not taken into account, the selection of critical lines depends on the system conditions and that prioritization of control parameters affects system behavior. Therefore, currently used mathematical predictive techniques cannot be used to ascertain adequate voltage collapse detection and preLrenti\.e measures. The proposed work reported here basically considers the static model using multiple-solution and divergence evaluation of power flow calculation to predict VC and the dynamic model for studying the effects of governors. exciters. etc. The preventative measures used are the VAR planning technique and optimum power flow (OPF) for correcting violations of voltages and flows at an optimum cost. It is intended that the proposed expert system should be able to identify the type of data encountered, choose the best model for voltage collapse detection and use the appropriate model of OPF for prevention. The knowledge/esperience regarding the determination of the best protection for given impact parameters should be appropriately acquired off-line before implementation. 9.3.3 Structural Design of KBVCDP Scheme The estimation of voltage collapse phenomena is performed in three major tasks. namely ( 1 ) power flow base established or divergence control, (2) selection of detection schemes, and (3) correction of violations. This framework de\.eloped in numerical methods is designed and enhanced by using KB strate,'c'les to achieve optimal performance. Figure 9.5 depicts the implementation logic of interdependent models required to build the knowledge base voltage collapse detection and prevention (KBVCDP) scheme. It consists of a detection and prevention scheme enhanced by the KB support, as described in the proceeding sections.

Power Flow Divergence Monitoring (KBPFDM)

The program modules utilize heuristic rules to identify cases of load flow run that may diverge due to bad data, telemetering error, method of solution. etc. Suggested corrective measures are also given by the expert system. Indicator Selection (KBIS)

For an off-line type of study, VC estimation may be detected by evaluating the impact of different indicators on the system that will predict limit \.iolations, thereby causing VC. The KBIS provides prioritized parameters for detection schemes, which can be any of the numerical methods or improved power flow techniques such as an automatic power flow technique. The automatic power flow technique is a self-contained power flow approach that gives the sensitivity of voltage measurement with respect to parameter changes and make Q V and PV plots to identify the knee point. Other selectable detection schemes developed within KBVCDP include other numerical techniques such as Barbier's and Schlueter's. KBVC Prevention Scheme (KBVCP)

The identified critical VC points and measures for preventing VC are handled effectively by the KBVCP. It selects appropriate controls as constraints for the optimization algorithm, minimizes relevant objective functions and includes other conditions and models in seeking an optimum corrective measure that is economical and effective. The display of VC knee point and the indicators are given in graphical form. Using the KB system, the corrective measures and the rules fixed are tabulated in matrix forms. 9.3.4

Structural Design of Expert System

A preliminary prototype of the expert system used to verify the feasibility of

the KBVCDP has been designed in PROLOG. Its structure is shown in Fig. 9.6. It consists of the following parts: knowledge base, blackboard, inference engine and user interface, and application programs. Knowledge Base A knowledge base in the expert system (ES) is the principal source of knowl-

edge used for the KBVCDP implementation. It consists of a fact base and a rule base. The first base consists of fact statements and contains the basic description and record of all power system components, status and configurations and knowledge needed for describing power system states, conditions for selecting measures and methods for interpretation of results. The knowledge contained i n

Rules for Detecting Power Flow Divergence The rules for detection are deceloped based on the experience of the operator\. literature review, and interviews with experts.

outage, load transformer taps, excitation effects, and other combinations along with other sy\teni conditions. The severity of indicators causing VC :ire ranhed. Rules for Selecting Models and Approaches for VC Detection

Rule development for selecting VC detection methods are based on choice of models, desired options (speed, accuracy, and display), and other niajor e\'ents causing VC. The expert system selects the indicators that ha\,e a higher priority for VC. Several system parameters, limits, and violations are stored i n the database. The detection system condition and events causing VC are based on the skills and experience of the operator. Very often the operator's decision \+rill change according to the severity of the contingency or other factors. The detection and prevention of voltage collapse (VC) based on the K B approach is fast and accurate. The system reads the data, performs manipulations, prioritizes the indicators causing VC and selects appropriate measures. models, and methods for detection and correction.

9.3.5

Knowledge Organization for KBVCDP System

The de\dopment of a KB support system for KBVCDP requires the determination of a knowledge organization scheme for the VC detection and pre\ ention. Using a matrix format, the heuristic rules describing detection strategies are formalized. The rules are divided into each of the subtasks. With appropriate data, the prototype KB system will be tested. Rules for Preventive Measures Selection

Rules for selecting preventive measures are developed based on the follo\+ring aspects: 1.

2.

Rules for ranking corrective measures in t e r m of the economic evaluation. The effects of system conditions such as loading, generation. length of lines, and seasons of the year are employed to select appropriate measures. Rules for evaluating reactive power, LTC, and others constrain effectiveness. These rules evaluate the effectiveness of LTC, and other controls as constraints for the optimization algorithm. The role of LTC as detrimental or beneficial is evaluated by using system conditions. The selection of appropriate objective functions is identified by using system conditions and limit violations based on the type of \kdation. ranking of indicators causing the violations. and other system conditions.

9.4

IMPLEMENTATION FOR KBVCDP

The algorithm described in Fig. 9.5 was programmed on a VAX I1/780 and IBM PC compatible computer. The numerical programs are coded i n FORTRAN, while the symbolic computation programs are coded in PROLOG. The functional descriptions of each of the KB modules are discussed. The data files and communication between these modules are also displayed in Fig. 9.7. The program runs on the IEEE 57-bus test system using the rules developed for each of the KB modules. These rules are simulated based cn predetermined experiments. When the experience and knowledge aspects are filled in the matrix accorcling to different selections, different rules can then be developed. The rule matri s approach makes rule development both easier and faster. At the same time, the rule matrix method is also very useful for the new rule developed while the neA' experiences have been gained. Each column of the rule matrix is a knowledge u n i t for the rule condition or conclusion and suggestions that are identifiell. Tables 9.6-9.9 summarize some important results based on experience. Other combinations of system conditions are checked and results will cla+ sify divergence of the power flow as critical, sek'ere, or normal for the po"l:r flow divergent part of KBVCDP. Other parts of KBVCDP are developed by the same approach. Rules are capable of prioritizing causes of power flow (PF) divergence. multiple solutions, and extraneous solutions. Other associated knowledge bases for kultage collapse detection include the development of rules that study the indicators for detecting voltage collapse and selecting the performance index fq.lr \!oltage collapse studies, and rules for selection of measures for \voltage collap ;e peri od s. 9.4.1

Limitation of the Operator Assisted Expert System

When the human experts' heuristics are successfully encoded in the KB, a reipiew of the literature indicates that the ES was comparable in performance with human expert to a certain extent. Creating the KB for the VCDP or for any ;lf the operational problems (e.g., security-assisted. and voltage control) is ;1 dit'icult problem. One must first define the problem to be solved and then encode it in a set of rules. However. the KB cannot solve the problem by itself. A human expert uses past experience together with the background of the whcle problem to make the correct decision on causes of VC and preventive niethoh needed. Hence, in order to design an ES that can utilize the expertise of t i e human, we must find a way of integrating the human expert's empirical knovrledge i n one domain.

The \voltage collapse indicator selection is \.cry complicated. I n po\i'er sq'stern \ d t a g e collapse studies. what causes the \roltage co1l:ipse is the most important study aspect of the stable problem. Most of the time. there may be more than one cause, but deteriiiining the original and most important ones are difficult. Because of the selection indicators, the pre\'entive iiieiisure selection is also quite complicated. The selection of pre\rentivc measures iii\wl\.es considera t ion of econom ic s, plan n i n g s t ra t eg i e s. opera t i oiia I sec U r i t j, and system teasibility for the measures. At this time. there :ire no acceptable strategies thr this problem. For certain study problems, the selection of studj, models and nuiiicrical methods is ;I complex one even for researchers \ 1 7 h o 1iai.e been stucijing voltage collapse phenomena for ;i long time. Interpretation ot' the numerical program results usually require the -judgeiiieiit of ;in engineer. To solve the abo\,e problems for the nonkno\l..lcdgc-hased approaches. the k n OM'1edge - based ;I pp roach has t he fo11o w i n g ad Y an t uge s : The data bridge can transfer the quantitatiLre data into qualitati\re data directly. Thus, the KB scheme can directly use the data for logical reasoning for determining any possible errors in the numericd data anti making suggestions for correcting them. This procedure n,ill s i i \ ~;I considerable m o u n t of time for indicator identification. The k 11o LV I edge - based v o 1t age co11ap se i nd i c at o r se 1ec t i on . st idy inode I . and method selection scheme can make more sophisticated and faster choices for the decision-making procedure. The selected indicators and study model is more suitable for the study. This is the siiiiic ;is i i i preventive measure selection, the KBVCDP gives more choice of iiitxisures rather than the right judgement at due time. The KBVCDP also gives heuristic and clear guidance on how to detect aiiti pre\'ent \,olt:ige collapse in a more con\renient ~ z a q ' . The approach, using knowledge-based technology, is suggested to enhance the detection and prevention scheme for voltage collapse. The suggested approach has been prototyped as an expert system program both on the IBM PC/ AT using the PROLOG language and on the VAX I1/780 using OPS83 iind C languages. The data bridge concept has been introduced. and data bridges tor d i ffere n t 1111meri ca 1 programs have been designed and i m p I eine n ted .

UTILITY ENVIRONMENT APPLICATION

The developed KBVCDP is numerical program-dependent. For different nuinerical programs, the data bridges from numerical program to knowledge-based program vary. The application of KBVCDP to different utility companies needs more implementation of the data bridges for special progranis.

CONCLUSION The use of artificial neural networks for voltage stabilitj' assessment m d enhancement has been presented. The method utilizes modal analysis to obtain suitable buses for use as VAR sites. The ANN-based maxiniurn loadabilitj, of the power system was demonstrated and the ANN-based maximum loadabilit>r of the power system with VAR compensation was demonstrated ;IS ~ s ~ e l l . The maximum loadability of the power system and rei1ctiL.e po~i'erconipensation at collapse used for training the ANN haLre been obtained using the EPRI VSTAB program. The sensiti\rity of the accuracy of the predicted output from the ANN has been investigated with different ANN architectures. The trained ANN has been tested with input data not previously seen by ANN. It is concluded that the back propagation algorithm can be used Lvith reasonable accuracy for providing an estimate for the reactive compensation at collapse as well as a measure of the voltage stability margin in the presence of sis.itchable shunts. The appropriate ANN architecture needs to be determined based on the re1ev an t sy st ein data. The trained ANN provides reasonable results in an extremely short time, almost instantaneously. when compared with other existing met hods i i t i I izing su cce ssi v e power fl ow or opt i m i zat i on . The inputshutputs for training are easily obtained kria successi\re po~i'er tlows and do not require extensive computation when compared \s,ith certain other energy-based methods utilizing ANN for assessment of the Lroltage stability limit. The design, analysis, and development of a knois.ledge-based expert system to detect and prevent voltage collapse has been demonstrated. The detection scheme selects parameters that cause voltage collapse and also evaluates a\,ailable models of the power system. It uses rule-based techniques for prioritizing

indicators and choosing appropriate numerical methods. The prevention schemc identifies measures needed to correct violations of bus voltages and flows due to a loss of generating units or critical lines. Selected measures are under-load tap changers, capacitors, line switching, load shedding, and generation adjustment. The knowledge-based system ranks these measures in terms of their effectiveness in corrections. Subject to equipment and network constraints. a specialized optimal power flow scheme based on a reactive power model of a power system minimizes cost and power loss. The expert system was tested on medium-sized power systems. Bonneviell: Power Administration's Puget Sound Area, and New England's Boston Are: . Results reveal the need for adequate use of under-load tap changers and other control devices as a short-term measure to prevent voltage collapse. Such devices can otntiate the need for the installation of a new generation of capacity and the expansion of transmission systems.

10 Epilogue and Conclusions

This book treated broad issues in power system dynamics with special emphasis on the twin subjects of angle and voltage stability. Both are essential tools for dynamic security assessment. Dynamic security characterizes a power-system’s ability to withstand disturbances and ensure continuity of service. In operational planning, dynamic security analysis encompasses a large class of problems. such as finding the security status of a network, the power transfer limit in a transmission corridor, the worst contingency in a specific area, or performing some complex sensitivity analyses. In practice, dynamic security is often measured in terms of a dynamic security limit, defined as the maximum power transfer for which the network cannot only survive the worst possible normal contingency, but also guarantee an acceptable level of service quality without loss of load. Dynamic security analysis is dominated by the use of algorithmic software for off-line evaluation and control of load flow, transient stability, and other network characteristics. Even though simulations are readily performed, assessing and ensuring dynamic security across all possible topologies and contingencies remains a formidable challenge. Power system networks currently operate more and more in a stressed state where conservative operation often results in significant financial consequences. The process for an on-line dynamic security assessment requires a reasonable level of built-in intelligence to detect and determine the following:

In order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of off-line intelligence S ~ C L Ii tI y analysis. the application of artificial intelligence techniques has been proposxi. Alternatively, expert system. fuzzy logic and ANN usually in combination U ith energy based methods o r simplified algorithms may be used. An interest mg recent concept involves the L I S of ~ a generalized shell for the purpose o f mec x i nizing processes in dynamic security assessment. MWXLLLI et al. ( 1993) detii~)nstrate that semantic networks combined nrith frame-based structures can eftectiirely model the process and provide a framework for constructing a his tilj powerful and user-friendly en\rironment. Their research carried out on a production level prototype shows that it is possible to mechanize routines traditiondly carried out by hunian experts. This mechanization greatly enhances the reali/at i o n of complex processes.

The expectation of dramatic increases in the interconnection and complexity of power systems has raised concerns about the performance, security. and control of transmission and distribution networks. These increases are expected to result primarily from two developments: New legal requirements allowing greatly expanded Miheeling of p o \ \ ~ r over existing networks, and 2. The wide-spread application of power-electronics-based acti\re s\vitching and control devices to raise the real power capacity of existing lines k i i local control of idtage, impedance, or phase angle. 1.

We have already suggested that power systems are already becoming increasingly stressed. Unexpected behavior has been observed i n many netnarks under 11 n LI sual stress , beh akri or suggesting that some i m portan t s y ste in d y n aiii i c s are not yet well understood and hence are not accounted for i n simulations conducted for control and security purposes. Enhanced fundamental knontledge about system stability and nonlinear dynamics may be necessary i n order to control existing and future power systems reliably and continuously iinder all contingencies. In addition to ensuring power network security under normal and exceptional stress. such improved understanding could yield substantial economic benefits by allouring secure operation closer to performance margins than is currently considered safe. Interconnected power networks can be described as stressed. highly nonlinear, noncontinuous systems. Systems of this type are extremely difficult t o :~cciirately model, either mathematically or conceptually. Thus, current p o ~ ' e sqstem r simulations generally aim to model the slow, quasi-continuous dynamics most significant to system dispatchers, such as excessive voltage and apparent pouw variation with respect to changing demand. The details of transient beha\ior, with which most computational complexity is associated, are for the most part neglected. Ty p i c a I network si m u 1at i on s are consi de ra b 1y s i inp 1i fied and app 1-0x i in ;i t e (although they still incorporate hundreds of complex equations). I n addition. even the most comprehensive models include fundamental approximations to account for anticipated behavioral nonlinearity or noncontinuity and depend on critical assumptions about performance because we lack ;I complete understanding of the physical behavior of complex power system. For example, to fncilitate computation for conventional simulations, parameters like load \.alues are held constant, even though these parameters are known to \ m y slightly. And the modeling of systems that incorporate active control devices requires the use of assumptions because complete descriptions of device behaLrior are not yet av ai I ab I e . Observing that all models do not use the same approximations and assuniptions. their predictions of system behavior may differ strikingly, especially for

conditions of stress. Utility experts thus find it difficult to assess the validity ( ~ f a given model's results. Nonetheless, as long as predictions indicate that control measures will maintain generation-load imbalances within a normal operating range, dispatchers assume that the system will remain stable, and they are almost always correct. Recent studies of historical voltage collapse events suggest that traditional load simulations (such as those assuming constant load angle, constant impedance, and constant current) may not capture important voltage dynamics. For example, a voltage collapse may be initiated by the oscillatory behavior of gerierator exciters, but models that consider only the slow dynamics of the system ignore exciter dynamics and other transient behaviors. As a result, unsteady system states may be incorrectly assessed as stable, with continued operaticn possibly leading to local or systemwide failure. Chaos theory, the study of nonlinear dynamics, may provide new approaches for understanding the transient behavior of complex power systetiis and for ensuring network stability. Mathematical research during the past 2 0 years indicates that any system involving feedback can exhibit chaos. It can tie shown that chaos is present in simple power system models over a range of loading conditions. Recent research results suggest that events such as voltage collapse, low-frequency electromechanical oscillations, and transient stabilii y may be linked to chaotic behavior. It has been established that there is a relationship between voltage collapse and chaos-related bifurcations in voltage-reactive power solutions. Significa i t work has been carried out aimed at increasing our understanding of chaos arid transient stability. In particular, researchers examined in detail certain unusual, possibly chaotic behaviors observed in small power systems and are looking at tools for evaluating system stability under parametric or structural variations. Efforts focus on improving the characterization of bifurcations in simple arid complex power systems. Bifurcations, which represent qualitative transformations in a system's operational behavior (changes from stable to unstable states, for example, or the onset of multiple allowable solutions), can lead to chac-s. Because fundamental power flow equations have multiple solutions (swing d ynamics), bifurcations in power system behavior are always possible. A three-bus model was enhanced to include generator dynamics, revealing several additional bifurcations, some of which lead to chaotic oscillation through period-doubling cascades. For these cases, an infinite number of power flew solutions occur in response to only a small change in reactive load, causing rapid tluctuations in voltage and load angle that could produce power flow oscillations exceeding the thermal limits of transmission lines and lead to system collapsc!. Simulations focusing on these dynamic-generator-case bifurcations also indicate that voltage collapse may take place before the reactive power demand is increased to the system's steady-state operating limit, the point at which tie

static-case, saddle-node bifurcation occurs. Thus, the model system, and probably actual power systems as well, may be less stable under fluctuating realworld conditions than under the steady-state cases assumed in conventional stability calculations. Structural stability is a relatively new concept in power system analysis. Broadly speaking, a system is structurally stable if small variations in the model do not change qualitatively the set of trajectories originating from all initial conditions in the state space. For a given dynamic model. we examine system behavior subject to small disturbances in the domain of parameter space. This is different from Lyapunov stability where we wish to know if a perturbation in the state-of-the-system results in the trajectory returning to the equilibrium asymptotically. A dynamic system which is unstable in the sense of Lyapunov is structurally stable since the trajectories do not change for small changes i n parameter values. A complete characterization of structural stability for two-dimensional systems can be related to the nature of the equilibria and limit circles. For higher order systems such a complete characterization is not possible. Bifurcation theory is directly related to structural stability. Research work has been conducted that aims to provide dispatchers with a better understanding of the liinits of all significant structural parameters (such as load angle, current, impedance, and reactive power demand) so that power systems can be operated to maximize cost-effectiveness without initiating harmful chaotic behavior. Structural stability is important for power system security because key parameters are known to fluctuate slightly. For a system to be assessed as structurally stable, its behavior must return to its steady-state if perturbed. For example. a power network is considered structurally stable if slight changes in current or load angle do not appreciably affect the interactions between voltage and other system variables. (This differs from the more common notion of Lyapunov stability, which assesses stability on the basis of the initial values of system \,xiables.) Structural stability defines the parameter range within which system behavior is qualitatively similar; multiple ranges may exist for a given parameter. Little work has been done in this area for nonlinear models of power systems. Research has revealed that for systems characterized by more than two parameters, no complete description of structural stability is possible. But parametric limits of structural stability can be related conceptually and mathematically to bifurcations. Both indicate qualitative changes in system behavior and can be seen in phase portraits of a system. Thus, bifurcation analysis of system behavior can partially characterize structural stability ranges. It was observed that if control actions are taken into account, the critical values of parameters that influence voltage collapse may be lower than those predicted by static criteria. They postulate that the range over which a dynamic system is structurally stable is always smaller than the range for the same system

considered under static conditions only. Thus, parameter margins identified by con\vntional, static-case pourer system models to ensure safe system beha\,ior m a ~be ' obre 1.1 y perm i ss i ve for d y n ;i m i c , real - wor1d networks .

There is a need for better analytic capabilities i n both the areas of syste ii planning and operations. Promising techniques include the use o f energy t'un:tion methods. which are based upon the use of LyapunoLP's direct method f1)r assessing the stabilitjr of systenis of nonlinear differential equations.

The relationship between the use of energy functions in these tct'o different contexts. ~ b ' i i sexamined by Overbye et al. ( I99 1 ). The key points for energy function usage in the transient stability problem is that the energy is used to determine whether the postfault is b,ithin the region o f iittrxtion of the postfault stable equilibrium point (SEP).arid that the deterniination o f the critical boundary of stability depends o n the f;iulted system trii-jector)'. In contrast. for the voltage security problem the system state is assumed to \rarl' cliiasi-statically (i.e., not subject to a large disturbance) in responw to t he slots, (with ;I time scale o f min to hr) Lwiation i n sq'stem parameters, such ;is the aggregate lorids.

Numerical testing has shown that the energy iiieasu~w tend to change i n a manner proportional to the change in the system's maximum steady loadability. System steady-state voltage security could thus be asses>ed bq, moni tori rig these energjr iiie;isiires, with decreasing energq' \ralues i ncliciiti ng

increased vulnerability to voltage instability; a \ d u e of energy approaching zero would indicate an imminent loss of system operating point. There is, ho\lfeirer, a significant difference i n the use of these UEP energies from their transient stability use. In transient stability the goal is to determine it .siri,qlc' cr-itictrl oiiorgj* W I I ~ M . which depends upon the fault-on system trti-jectory. I n contrast with the steady-state Lroltage problem one is concerned urith maintaining system voltage security while facing an imprecisely kno\bfnfuture system parameter \*ariation. While a future voltage collapse ~ . o u l dbe characterized by the coalescing of the SEP with a particular UEP, there is no need to determine precisely this UEP a priori. Rather the energies associated Lvith ;I number of UEPs would be monitored. It is shown that each UEP energ>r can be used to quantify the voltage stability in a particular portion of the system and that only the small subset of UEPs with low associated energies need to be calculated. This is because i n ii large system, there is a need to simiiltaneoiisl~~ monitor the voltage security in a number of separate areas. T u v major similarities in the application of energ}' methods to the transient and voltage problems is that the same energy formulation can be us\c.d i n both. and that both make use of the energy of the UEPs on the boundary of the region of attraction. In general for a three bus system, it is shokvn that the po~verflo\v equations have an SEP solution and another type-one UEP solution. Energj. methods could then be used for transient analysis by determining if the energ~' after a fault is cleared is less than that of a specific threshold. Whether the system possesses other solutions depends on the load model used. If the load is modeled as constant impedance then there are no other solutions to the power flow equations, since the network is linear and could be replaced by a Thevenin equivalent impedance. However. if the load is modeled as constant power, then the system has two additional solutions. Phase portraits can be used to illustrate a number of the mechanisms that could cause the system to lose its stable operating point: and that \s~ould thus need to be considered in security analysis. For the transient analysis. stability would be assessed by determining if the energy at the time the fault is clemxi is less than 19". The \Aue of IY'depends on the exit point (i.e.. the point \ b h x the critically cleared trajectory would cross the stability boundary & ) . Since this value would typically be by a large generator angle. the exit point \vould be in the Lricinity of the transient stability UEP. A new use of the energy function would be for dynamic voltage security assessment. As in the case of transient analysis, stability would be assessed by determining if the energj' after some disturbance is less than some critical value. Howe\.er. the distiirbance here u~ouldbe one that utould tend to cause the system trajectory to exit the SEPs UEP. Such a disturbance would be characterized by Io\v \.oltage niagnitu~ies(;is opposed to large generator angles), and may hmre ;i substantialljr longer time

frame than the transient stability problem (on the order of tnin as opposed to > ). Examples of such disturbances are the effects of LTC transformers, generators hitting reactive power limits, and load dynamics. Quasi-steady voltage security could be monitored by noting the variation in the UEP energy as the system state changes in response to the slow (on the order of min to hr) variation in system parameters, such as the aggregate loac s. The second segment of this book introduces a relatively new technolopy and its direct applications and future to power system engineers. Over the p a t few decades, the topic of artificial intelligence (AI) has gained the interest of researchers and scientists in many fields. The applications span many disciplines including electrical engineering extending its way to electrical power system analysis, protection, and enhancement. The resulting advantages will inherently depend on the specific applications of the existing methods that are available to the engineering sector. As discussed in prekfious chapters of the book, the primary branches i n artificial intelligence are Fuzzy Logic, Artificial Neural Nerworks, and Expcrt Systems. The obvious benefits of using Fuzzy Logic and/or Fuzzy Logic Expcrt Systems include the enhancement of the assessment criteria used in the study of large power systems, and also as decision support systems. This mode of 41 application as a support tool to the existing technique provides clearer solution alternatives to problems, in which case there are many variants with multi-levcls of uncertainties. Therefore the assessment of the power system is impro\,ed and the appropriate control actions to be exercised in the event of contingencies are more efficiently allocated, especially in a utility where the resources are either limited or expensive to use. Furthermore, the use of Fuzzy Logic and/or Expxt Systems i n power system stability studies can significantly reduce computational burden in some algorithms, as the human or engineering judgment is exploited in determining redundancies of choice. The classic example is cont ingency analysis of a power system, whereby it may not be necessary to consider (111 possihle cases, but rather cill (sufficiently)pr-ohcihle cases. The area of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) has its place as a planning and operation tool or support tool also, especially i n light of some of the more recent restructuring developments that has occurred in the power industry. Thcse changes, such as deregulation of the power industry, have been a result of changes in the markets for electricity both as a corninodity and service. The challenge in the application of ANN lies in the unanswered questions that u'e have come face to face with as both engineers and power system tools and policy makers. For instance, what are the impacts of artificial intelligence support tools on power system reliability and stability'? Can the technology impro\.e the desired goals of the classical integration techniques (Runge-Kutta, Modified Euler, Trapezoidal, and so forth) making them better assessment methods'? How

can we perform detailed security assessnient of the p o u ~ system r isit11 the introduction of this enhancement method? I n conclusion. we have realized the capabilities and limitations of the existing methods utilized i n performing coniprehensi\re analysis on the ponrer s j ' s tem. both in the areas of steady state and transient stability studies. Maintaining power system stability is one challenge, but it is the llip-side of the coin that motivates us to go to work, which are the problems associated \\!it11 p o n w sjrstern instability. The sekrerity of the faults resulting from Lvltage and/or angle instability has led to the de\celopment of many methods of monitoring and pre\renting these unwanted results. Such methods. some of nthich u w e highlighted and discussed in detail in this book, are currently being enhanced \ k i the application of state of the art technologies. The cost-benefit analysis of such tools is yet to be done for large-scale power system applications. for both planning and operational purposes. In this light, continued research and the use of artificial intelligence as an enhancement to the computational and decision tool nil1 introduce much benefit to the power industry.
