摘要

In this paper, a new wide area neural network-based method is presented for the accurate detection of necessity and the time of controlled islanding execution in large interconnected power systems. By performing coherency analysis at different conditions, the initial coherent groups of the network are determined. To account different stability margins between areas at different conditions and network topologies, we introduced the new parallel neural network (P-NN) structure. The proposed P-NN consists of different individual recurrent neural networks between each of adjacent initial groups. The P-NN is trained with respect to selected wide area signals and generated database through comprehensive stability studies. After the online detection of possible asynchronous oscillations and the corresponding final coherency determination, the alarm signal is sent to the designed P-NN to investigate the network stability between initial groups in real time. The proposed method is applied to New England 39- and 118-bus power systems at different cases and is compared with another intelligent method. It is shown that the proposed method is able to detect islanding necessity and related islands accurately for different disturbances. The speed of the islanding detection, as an important aspect in intelligent controlled islanding, is increased by the proposed method. This will in turn help the system keep stability. In addition, the proposed method could distinguish large stable swings from unstable ones in different contingencies.
