Control System for Active Damping of Inter-Area Oscillations

Featured Opportunity • Inter-area oscillations may develop on power grids with large generation and load complexes separated by long transmission lines. Poorly damped inter-area oscillations can have devastating effects, such as extensive blackouts like those experienced on the West Coast in August 1996. The current approach to prevent these effects is to operate...
