- Real-Time Modal Analysis of Electric Power Grids-The Need for Dynamic State EstimationNetto, Marcos; Krishnan, Venkat; Mili, Lamine M.; Sharma, Pranav; Ajjarapu, Venkataramana (IEEE, 2020)We articulate the reason why dynamic state estimation is needed to push the boundaries of the modal analysis of electric power grids in real-Time operation. Then, we demonstrate how to unravel linear and nonlinear modes by using the extended dynamic mode decomposition along with estimates of the synchronous generators' rotor angles and rotor speed deviations from nominal speed. The estimated modes are associated with electromechanical oscillations that take place continuously in electric power grids because of imbalances between power generation and demand. The numerical simulations are performed on a synthetic, albeit realistic, 2,000-bus network that was designed to resemble the electric power grid of Texas.
