Selection of Feedback Signals for Controlling Dynamics in Future Power Transmission Networks

This paper deals with the selection of feedback signal(s) that retain the modal behavior of power system electromechanical dynamics under varying operating circumstances. The approach seeks signals that have relatively large magnitude of residue, less variation of the magnitude and phase angle, sufficient gap between the critical pole-zeros, and least sensitive to other modes. The methodology is tested in a 16-machine interconnected power system model with multiple wind farms.
