Measurement-based solution for low frequency oscillation analysis

This paper presents a measurement-based solution for low frequency oscillation（LFO） analysis in both real time monitoring and off-line case study. An online LFO property discrimination method is developed first,which alternately uses empirical mode decomposition（EMD）/Hilbert transform（HT） and square calculation to process the measurement data. The method magnifies the variation trend of oscillating variables to accurately discriminate the property of the oscillation. Subsequently, an oscillation source locating method for the forced oscillation（FO） and a strongly correlated generator identification method for the weak damping oscillation（WDO） are proposed. Finally, numerical study results on a test system of the isolated Changdu grid in Tibet validate the proposed methods.
