Abstract :
In this paper, a Wide-Area protection system to deal with rotor angle instabilities is proposed. Firstly, a system blackout model is developed and secondly the extreme contingencies that lead to large blackouts are extracted. Initiating events that ultimately lead to rotor angle instabilities are determined by artificial neural network (ANN). Coherent generators are detected by an algorithm using the data presented by phasor measurement units (PMUs). Based on identification of coherent generators, the power system is split into stable islands by disconnecting the weak interconnecting lines and load shedding. The performance of the proposed strategy is verified by simulations on the IEEE 39-bus sample power system.
