This paper presents a new method to dynamically determine coherent generators and electrical areas of an interconnected power system. The proposed method is based on dynamic frequency deviations of both generator and non-generator buses, with respect to the system nominal frequency. The proposed method 1) largely overcomes the limitations of the existing model-based and measurement-based coherency identification methods, 2) enables dynamic tracking of the coherency time-evolution, and 3) provides noise immunity which is imperative in practical implementation. The method also promises the potential for real-time coherency calculation. The proposed method is applied to the 16-machine/68-bus NPCC system based on time-domain simulation studies in the PSS/E platform and the results are compared with those of the classical slow-coherency (model-based) method and a measurement-based method.
