Presentation Title
Hybrid Model-Based and Data-Driven Small-Signal Stability and Oscillation Analysis for Modern Power Systems with Complex Operational Dynamics
Presentation Abstract: Modern power systems are required to meet increasingly stringent demands for resilience, reliability, and stability while operating under highly complex dynamic conditions. These challenges are driven largely by the growing penetration of inverter-based resources (IBRs) and their tight interactions with synchronous generators, network dynamics, and diverse load behaviors. Under such conditions, conventional small-signal stability analysis becomes inadequate due to the strong coupling among subsystems and the rapidly evolving operating states of modern power grids. In particular, the dynamics associated with power networks and control systems are deeply intertwined, resulting in complex small-signal behavior that complicates both stability assessment and oscillation analysis. Further, identifying and characterizing oscillatory modes with distinct frequency features becomes especially challenging, posing practical difficulties for real-world system operation and control.
To address these challenges, this presentation introduces a hybrid and modular framework that integrates model-based and data-driven approaches for small-signal stability and oscillation analysis. The proposed framework systematically captures a broad spectrum of system dynamics across synchronous generators, IBRs with different control paradigms (e.g., Grid-Forming [GFM] and Grid-Following [GFL] control), network components, and loads. Each subsystem is modeled as a modular unit, enabling scalable system assembly and efficient small-signal and oscillation analysis. Furthermore, for “black-box” “vendor-specific” models, particularly for IBRs, data-driven surrogate models are developed to simultaneously capture large-signal trajectories and small-signal characteristics. Representative case studies are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed framework for modern power systems with complex operational dynamics.
