Abstract
In this paper, we present a novel algorithm for constructing simplified interarea models of large power networks by using dynamic measurements available from phasor measurement units (PMUs) installed at specific points on the transmission line. Our example of study in this paper is a widely encountered realistic system, namely the Pacific AC intertie, which closely resembles a star-connected three-area power system. We derive analytical results showing how the voltage, phase angle, and frequency oscillations at different buses on the transfer path of this intertie can be used to estimate the essential parameters of the three-machine equivalent model of this three-area system. We illustrate the results with actual disturbance event data from the Western Electricity Coordinating Council. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Sharing renewable energy in smart microgrids

TL;DR: This paper develops a novel energy sharing approach to determine which homes should share energy, and when, to minimize system-wide efficiency losses and shows that it reduces the energy loss on the AC line by 60% without requiring large batteries, scales up performance with larger battery capacities, and is robust to changes in microgrid topology.

The Application of Lyapunov Methods to the Computation of Transient Stability Regions for Multimachine Power Systems

TL;DR: In this article, a method for computing a stability region for a multimachine power system is presented, which can be proved by means of a Lyapunov function which will, together with a method of computing the domain of attraction of an equilibrium point of a dynamic system, lead to a systematic procedure for obtaining an estimate of the region of stability.

Emergence of a New Swing Mode in the Western Power System

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that low frequency synchronizing oscillations between the Pacific Northwest and Pacific Southwest have long been a characteristic of the western power system and that these oscillations are due to a swing mode involving the whole western loop.
