Abstract

This invention relates to a method of determining stability of unstable equilibrium point (UEP) computed by using BCU method, comprising selecting UEP computed by using BCU method, obtaining a test vector X test for the selected UEP, say X UEP using the following equation: X test =X s post +0.99( X UEP −X s post ) where X s post is the SEP, and checking boundary condition of X UEP by simulating system trajectory of post-fault original system starting from X test .

Claims (18)

1. A computer implemented method of determining stability of unstable equilibrium point (UEP) computed by using BCU method, comprising: selecting UEP computed by using BCU method; obtaining a test vector X test for the selected UEP, say X UEP using the following equation:

X test =X s post +0.99( X UEP −X s post )

where X s post is the SEP, and

checking boundary condition of X UEP by simulating system trajectory of post-fault original system starting from X test .

2. A computer implemented method of determining boundary condition of unstable equilibrium points (UEPs) in BCU system, comprising:

classifying UEPs into UEP groups of coherent contingencies based on predetermined condition;

selecting one UEP group from the classified UEP groups;

obtaining UEP having predetermined condition from the selected UEP group; and

determining boundary condition of the selected UEP group based on the obtained UEP having predetermined condition,

wherein if the determined boundary of the obtained UEP having the predetermined condition satisfies a boundary condition, the UEPs in the selected UEP group are considered to be satisfied with the boundary condition and not inputted to a validation step to determine whether input UEP satisfies the boundary condition or not, and if the determined boundary of the obtained UEP having the predetermined condition does not satisfy the boundary condition, the UEPs in the selected UEP group are inputted to the validation step.

3. A computer implemented method of determining stability of unstable equilibrium points (UEPs) computed by using BCU method, comprising:

classifying UEPs into UEP groups of coherent contingencies based on predetermined condition;

selecting one UEP group from the classified UEP groups;

obtaining UEP having predetermined condition from the selected UEP group;

obtaining a test vector X test for the obtained UEP, say X UEP using the following equation:

X test =X s post +0.99( X UEP −X s post )

where X s post is the SEP, and

checking boundary condition of X UEP by simulating system trajectory of post-fault original system starting from X test , thereby determining boundary condition of the selected UEP group.
