Abstract

Online estimation of area-level inertia can be used for frequency stability control in low-inertia power systems. This disclosure provides an area-level inertia online estimation method considering inter-area equivalent frequency dynamics. The disclosed method only needs one phasor measurement unit placed at any bus within each area. The inter-area equivalent frequency dynamics model for the multi-area power system is developed, which is employed to estimate area-level inertia under the small disturbance situation. Then, the area-level inertia estimation model boils down to a nonlinear parameter identification problem. The other boundary conditions of the disclosed method are derived by parameter identifiability.
