Probabilistic design of power-system special stability controls

[en] A probabilistic approach to the design of power-system special stability controls is presented here. Using Monte-Carlo simulations, it takes into account all the potential causes of blackouts, slow and fast dynamics, and modeling uncertainties. A large number of scenarios are simulated in parallel by time-domain numerical integration, and the relevant parameters of the resulting system trajectories are stored in a database. Data-mining tools are used to identify the most important system weaknesses and possible improvements. The approach is tested on a large-scale study on the SouthÐEastern part of the extra-high-voltage system of Electricité de France.
