Abstract

Controlled islanding is an effective way of preventing the system from catastrophic blackouts. This is generally solved either as a constrained combinatorial optimization problem or a slow coherency based linearized approach. The combinatorial explosion of the solution space of an extensive power network increases the complexity of solving, while the linearized slow coherency approach cannot track the varying coherent generator groups with a change in system operating conditions. Offline coherent studies are utilized in wide area measurement system (WAMS) data-based approaches to determine islanding boundaries. So, the present study proposes a novel coherency based controlled islanding technique that clusters generators and load buses simultaneously from the measured signals, ensuring generator coherency. Therefore, identification of inter-area modes from bus voltage angle signals is necessary to determine coherent bus groups. So, Zolotarev polynomial based filter bank (ZPBFB) is adopted in the present work to determine inter-area modes. The dimensional reduction techniques are used to cluster the coherent buses. The bus clusters thus obtained with the proposed method are compared with bus clusters determined from small signal stability analysis. The proposed method is demonstrated on IEEE 39-bus, 68-bus and 118-bus test systems and compared with graph spectra based controlled islanding.
