1 Introduction
Damping ratio is a key factor in electric power oscillationsWith the interconnection of large-scale power grids via highvoltage long distance transmission lines coupling betweensynchronous generators becomes weaker which leads to pooror negative damping ratio of power systems [1 2] Poweroscillation has become a major problem threatening thesecurity of large-scale interconnected power systems [3 4] Inorder to safely operate the power system monitoring classi-fication and suppression of the electric power oscillations inpower grids has captured exponentially increasing attentionin power engineering community in the past decade
This paper focuses on the active power oscillation prop-erty classification problem According to generation mecha-nism active power oscillations of electric systems can be clas-sified into two categories [2] One is free oscillation resultedby negative damping ratio of power systems It could also becalled negative damping oscillation Worldwide acceptedexplanation mechanism of this kind of power oscillation is
based on the complex torque analysis method proposed byDeMello and Concordia in 1969 [5] When the reactance oftransmission system is large or power output of generators ishigh the negative damping torque produced by lagging phaseof quick excitation circuit counteracts the original positivedamping of generatorsrsquo damping windings This will lead tonegative damping ratio of power grids and cause a poweroscillation with increasing amplitude [6 7] Reducing trans-mission power of tie lines or installing PSS equipment whichenhances damping torque through phase compensation hasbeen proved to be important measure for suppressing nega-tive damping power oscillation [8 9]
The other kind of active power oscillation is forced poweroscillation which is explained by the resonance mechanism[10 11] Power resonance of generators will be provokedwhenthe frequency of a small periodic disturbance occurring at thepower system is equal or close to the systemrsquos natural fre-quency This kind of power oscillation is characterized byfast oscillation start and rapid decay after losing oscillationsource Some researchers have demonstrated that periodic

disturbances of excitation circuit turbine speed governorsystem and active power load could stimulate forced poweroscillation [12ndash14] Separating the periodic disturbancesources from the system is the most effective countermeasureto eliminate its influence quickly [15]
Thus negative damping oscillation and forced oscillationhave different generation mechanisms with different cop-ing measures It is extremely important and necessary todistinguish them from each other However both of themhave similar oscillation forms with increasing amplitudes atinitial stage and probably develop into a constant amplitudeoscillation in the end Correct and rapid identification of theoscillation property becomes a difficult problem to be solvedNowadays researches on power oscillation classificationmostly concentrate on simulation after oscillation accidentsSystem response curves of simulation under negative damp-ing oscillation condition and forced oscillation conditionare compared with the actual oscilloscope records of powersystems to judge the oscillation property of power oscillationaccidents [16 17] An online oscillation property classificationmethod based on difference analysis of the oscillation curvesis proposed in [18] but there is a certain error of the dif-ferential calculation A fundamental theory of forced poweroscillation in a power system has been recommended in [19]which has proved that the forced power oscillation has dif-ferent envelop curve from the negative damping oscillationThus the active power oscillation property could be identifiedonline by distinguishing their envelop curves
Statistical learning theory and support vector machine(SVM) have given a systemic theoretical explanation aboutpattern recognition under circumstances of finite samplesMany problems like model-choosing overfitting nonlineardisaster of dimensionality and local minimum which havelong hindered the development of machine learning are nowsolved to a great extent [20 21] So far SVM has successfullybeen applied tomany fields like fault diagnosis speech recog-nition image recognition and text classification [22ndash24] In[25] two types of SVM were implemented to effectivelyclassify different kinds of power quality disturbances
This paper proposes a practical approach for power oscil-lation classification by recognition of real-time power oscil-lation curves utilizing SVM Hilbert transform is employedto obtain envelope curves of the power oscillation curvesTwenty sampling points on the envelope curve of power oscil-lation are selected for feature extraction Then forty poweroscillation curves are employed as samples to train the sup-porting vector machine At last three tests on the 16-machine68-bus benchmark system and a real power system in Chinaindicate that the proposed oscillation classification methodpossesses good precision
The rest of this paper is organized as follows In Section 2a Hilbert transform based oscillation feature extractionscheme is proposed Section 3 introduces a power oscillationproperty classification method utilizing SVM Case studyis undertaken on the 16-machine 68-bus benchmark sys-tem and a practical simplified power system of China toverify the effectiveness of the proposed oscillation propertyclassification method in Section 4 Conclusions are given inSection 5
2 Feature Extraction of Power Oscillations
21 Introduction of Power Oscillations When a free oscilla-tion happens in a power system the rotor angle rotationspeed of synchronous generators and relevant electric vari-ables (such as the power flow of transmission lines and busvoltages) will oscillate accordingly among which the powerflow of transmission line 119875

where 119896119894denotes the participation factor of oscillation pattern
119894 1199091198940is the initial value of state variable according to oscil-
lation pattern 119894 120582119894denotes the eigenvalue of the oscillation
pattern 119894 Generally 120582119894can be expressed as
12058212= 120572 plusmn 119895120596 (2)
In (2) 120572 indicates the damping performance of the oscilla-tion120596 denotes the frequency characteristic of the oscillationthe damping ratio of the oscillation is defined as
120585 =minus120572
radic1205722 + 1205962 (3)
The oscillation curve of any free oscillation mode can beexpressed as
119875119894119895= 1198611119890120572119905 sin (120596119905 + 120601
1) (4)
Therefore when any oscillation mode with 120585 lt 0 (ie120572 gt 0) exists in the power system any small disturbancewould stimulate thismode and result in a power oscillation ofthe tie line with increasing amplitude as shown in Figure 1(a)That is the so-called negative damping oscillation If all thedamping ratios of oscillation patterns are larger than zerothe small disturbance occurring at the power system wouldbe restrained by the positive damping
For any forced oscillation in the power system with anextreme disturbance like ℎ sin(120596
119889119905) it can be expressed as a
second-order system
+ 2120585120596 + 1205962119909 = ℎ sin (120596
119889119905) (5)
Solving (5) the oscillation curve of forced oscillation is
119875119894119895= 1198611119890120572119905 sin (120596119905 + 120601

119889119905 + 1206012) (6)
Under the circumstance of 120585 gt 0 (ie 120572 lt 0) the freeoscillation part 119861

resonance would be motivated and large oscillation wouldfollow as shown in Figure 1(b) if the oscillation frequency 120596

From the analysis above it can be concluded that theenvelope curve of negative damping oscillation increases as1198611119890120572119905The envelope curve of forced oscillationwill increase at
the initial stage Then it transits to an oscillation as (ℎ2(120596 minus120596119889)120596)119890120572119905 sin((120596minus120596
119889)119905+1206012)+1198612at the transitory stage At last it
will die down to a constant as1198612at stable stage [19]Thus there
is obvious distinction between the envelope curves of the twokinds of power oscillations

22 Hilbert Transform Hilbert transform (HT) [26] offers aneffective approach to extract envelope curves as oscillationfeatures for different kinds of power oscillations For the fol-lowing power oscillation signal in a power grid
119906 (119905) = 119860 (119905) cos120593 (119905) (7)
HT could be applied to acquire its complex conjugate signal

119905 minus 120591119889120591 (8)
V(119905) is a sinusoidal signal similar to 119906(119905) It could beexpressed as V(119905) = 119860(119905) sin120593(119905) 119906(119905) and V(119905) constitute aHTpair which makes up the following HT analytic signal
119908 (119905) = 119860 (119905) cos120593 (119905) + 119895119860 (119905) sin120593 (119905) (9)
Namely
119908 (119905) = 119860 (119905) 119890119895120593(119905)
119860 (119905) = radic1199062(119905) + V2 (119905)
(10)
Therefore the amplitude 119860(119905) of HT analytic signalreflects global change trend of the signal 119860(119905) represents theenvelope of the oscillation signal and could be calculated byusing (8) when the analytic signal is a signal with intrinsicoscillation mode
23 Feature Extraction The envelope curve of power oscil-lation will be obtained by HT after the power oscillation inpower grid is detected by the wide area measurement system(WAMS) Then the envelope curve is normalized accordingto the steady value before oscillation happens Finally twentyevenly spaced points on the envelope curve are selected inevery 2119879 interval (119879 is oscillation period of the power oscil-lation) to constitute a group of feature matrices as shown inFigure 2
It is well known that the power oscillation in a power sys-tem generally combines various swing modes If there is onlyone dominant oscillation mode the oscillation amplitude ofother oscillationmodes is small compared with the dominantoscillationmodeThe influence of other oscillationmodes ondominant oscillation mode can be neglected If there are twoor more than two dominant oscillation modes the dominant

oscillation mode with positive damping ratio will decay afterseconds or minutes Then only the oscillation mode withnegative damping ratio retains Meanwhile the data used forpower oscillation feature extraction contains 40 cycles of theoscillation curve After several cycles only the oscillationmode with negative damping ratio will retain and be used forthe oscillation property classification
However the power oscillation with two negative damp-ing oscillation modes has similar expression with forcedpower oscillation The beat-frequency oscillation will also beperceived in the power oscillationwith two negative dampingoscillation modes It is hard to distinguish the forced poweroscillation and the power oscillationwith two negative damp-ing oscillation modes However the power oscillation withtwo negative damping oscillation modes is very unusual inpower system thus the negative damping power oscillation inthis paper is the power oscillation with only one negativedamping oscillation mode Under this premise the featurematrices can represent the power oscillation property of thesystem
Difference of adjacent points of the feature matricesdenotes the change direction of the envelope curve and thesecond-order difference denotes its change tendency As fornegative damping oscillation the variation rate of the enve-lope curves is generally positive with oscillation amplitudegrowing more and more rapidly This means that the first-order and second-order difference of adjacent points from thefeature matrices should also be positive However for forcedoscillations the envelope curve hasminimum andmaximumpoints This indicates that the first-order or second-orderdifference of adjacent points could be zero or negative

3 Oscillation Property ClassificationBased on SVM
31 Basic Theory of SVM SVM-based classification methodis established on the basis of structural risk minimizationprinciple and VC theory (Vapnik and Chervonenkis theory)[27] In order to obtain excellent capability of generalizationaccording to a certain amount of samples the SVM-basedclassificationmethod seeks the best compromise between thecomplication of themodel and its learning capacityThe prin-ciple idea of SVM is as follows it firstlymaps the input vectorsin sample space into some high or even infinite dimensionalfeature space through some nonlinear mapping function120601(119909) And then the nonlinear and nonclassifiable problemin the original sample space is transformed into a linear andclassifiable problem in the high dimensional feature space Atlast in this feature space a linear decision surface is con-structed with special properties that possess the largest sep-aration margin between the two classes just as shown inFigure 3
For the given linear and separable training patterns(119909119894 119889119894)119897

119894denotes the 119899-
dimensional input vector and 119889119894denotes the class of the sam-
ple For further explanation 1 denotes the positive class andminus1 denotes the negative class These two sets are linearly sep-arable on the condition that there are a vector 120596 and scalar 119887which satisfy
120596 sdot 119909119894+ 119887 ge 1
if 119909119894isin positive sample set namely 119910

if 119909119894isin negative sample set namely 119910
119894= minus1
(11)
If the vector 120596 has the minimum norm then the hyper-plane 119910 = 120596 sdot 119909 + 119887 separates the training data with a maxi-mal margin It is the unique and optimal hyper plane forclassification of the train data
If the training data in the input space is nonlinear in orderto construct a hyper plane to classify the nonlinear samplesone first has tomap the input vector119909 into a higher dimensionfeature space by function 120601(119909) and then takes the sign of thefunction
119910 = 120596 sdot 120601 (119909) + 119887 (12)
Consider the casewhen the training data cannot be classi-fied without error Penalty constant 119862 and some nonnegativevariables 120585
119894are introduced to punish the incorrect classi-
fication Then this idea can be expressed formally as anoptimization problem as follows

4 Simulation Verification
41 Tests on 16-Machine 68-Bus System The circuit diagramof IEEE16-machine 68-bus benchmark system is shown inFigure 5 Some forced oscillating sources with oscillationfrequency close to the natural oscillation frequency of thegenerators are applied at different nodes in the power gridand ninety-six samples of power oscillation curves areobtainedThen sixty-four power oscillation curves under thenegative damping condition are obtained by lowering the gainof power system stabilizer (PSS) Twenty forced poweroscillation curves (represented by C1) and negative dampingpower oscillation curves (represented byC2) respectively areselected for training and the remaining 120 oscillation curvesare used for testing Table 1 gives the simulation result forthe oscillation property classification based on the proposedmethod A 2 times 2 confusionmatrix is constructed to show theclassification performance for each case The diagonal ele-ments represent the correctly classified power oscillationtypes The off-diagonal elements represent the misclassifica-tions As we can see from Table 1 different kernel functionfor SVMmodel will bring different classification precision forpower oscillation curves When sigmoid function is selectedas kernel function themodel has highest accuracyThereforethis paper adopts this function as kernel function for SVMmodel
Since noise is omnipresent in electrical power systemGaussian white noise is considered in the classification ofpower oscillations Different levels of noises with the noise tosignal ratio values ranging from 5 to 10 were consideredAs the noise to signal ratio increases the adaptability of SVMmodel decreases and the precision of the power oscillationproperty classification degrades Table 1 shows that the pre-cision of the power oscillation property classifycation is stillabove 88 even with the noise to signal ratio rising up to10 Thus the SVM-based proposed method can effectivelyclassify different kinds of the power oscillation
42 Analysis of Forced Power Oscillation in a Real Incident In2008 a thermal power plant was asynchronously connectedto theCentral China PowerGrid through 110 kV transmissionlines Power oscillationswere observed inHenanHunan andJiangxi power gridsThewhole oscillation durationwas abouttwo minutes with 07Hz oscillation frequency at initial stageand then the oscillatory power of the tie line increasedgradually When the oscillation stabilized the oscillatoryfrequency of the power grid was 062Hz and the oscillatoryamplitude of the active power of tie line between Henan andHubei was about 250MW Subsequently the 110 kV transmis-sion line in the fault regionwas cut off and the oscillation dieddown quickly This power oscillation incident was classifiedas a typical forced power oscillation incident and the thermalpower plant was the oscillation source [29] The active poweroscilloscope record of Yao-Shao tie line is given in Figure 6Eleven additional active power oscilloscope records of differ-ent tie lines are selected for the oscillation property classifi-cation The support vector machine trained at Section 41 isemployed to identify the oscillation property of the elevenactive power oscilloscope records and the result is shown inTable 2 It can be seen that only one power oscillation curveis misidentified as negative damping oscillation and the otherten oscillation curves are all identified as forced oscillation

Gaussian white noise is considered in the research of poweroscillation classification With the increase of the noise tosignal ratio the adaptability of SVM model decreases andthe precision of the power oscillation property classificationdegrades However even with the noise to signal ratio reach-ing up 10 the precision of the power oscillation propertyclassification is still above 88 Moreover two real incidentsin the real power systems are used to verify the proposedclassification method Results show that the identified resultsfrom the proposed method is the same with the postincidentanalytical identification result while the postanalytical iden-tification is an offline time consuming method only appliedafter the oscillation happens The proposed method can beapplied online and provides guidance for the dispatcher toselect the correct suppressing control (the negative dampingone or the forced oscillating one) during the oscillationperiod to stop the propagation of oscillations

disturbances of excitation circuit turbine speed governorsystem and active power load could stimulate forced poweroscillation [12ndash14] Separating the periodic disturbancesources from the system is the most effective countermeasureto eliminate its influence quickly [15]
Thus negative damping oscillation and forced oscillationhave different generation mechanisms with different cop-ing measures It is extremely important and necessary todistinguish them from each other However both of themhave similar oscillation forms with increasing amplitudes atinitial stage and probably develop into a constant amplitudeoscillation in the end Correct and rapid identification of theoscillation property becomes a difficult problem to be solvedNowadays researches on power oscillation classificationmostly concentrate on simulation after oscillation accidentsSystem response curves of simulation under negative damp-ing oscillation condition and forced oscillation conditionare compared with the actual oscilloscope records of powersystems to judge the oscillation property of power oscillationaccidents [16 17] An online oscillation property classificationmethod based on difference analysis of the oscillation curvesis proposed in [18] but there is a certain error of the dif-ferential calculation A fundamental theory of forced poweroscillation in a power system has been recommended in [19]which has proved that the forced power oscillation has dif-ferent envelop curve from the negative damping oscillationThus the active power oscillation property could be identifiedonline by distinguishing their envelop curves
Statistical learning theory and support vector machine(SVM) have given a systemic theoretical explanation aboutpattern recognition under circumstances of finite samplesMany problems like model-choosing overfitting nonlineardisaster of dimensionality and local minimum which havelong hindered the development of machine learning are nowsolved to a great extent [20 21] So far SVM has successfullybeen applied tomany fields like fault diagnosis speech recog-nition image recognition and text classification [22ndash24] In[25] two types of SVM were implemented to effectivelyclassify different kinds of power quality disturbances
This paper proposes a practical approach for power oscil-lation classification by recognition of real-time power oscil-lation curves utilizing SVM Hilbert transform is employedto obtain envelope curves of the power oscillation curvesTwenty sampling points on the envelope curve of power oscil-lation are selected for feature extraction Then forty poweroscillation curves are employed as samples to train the sup-porting vector machine At last three tests on the 16-machine68-bus benchmark system and a real power system in Chinaindicate that the proposed oscillation classification methodpossesses good precision
The rest of this paper is organized as follows In Section 2a Hilbert transform based oscillation feature extractionscheme is proposed Section 3 introduces a power oscillationproperty classification method utilizing SVM Case studyis undertaken on the 16-machine 68-bus benchmark sys-tem and a practical simplified power system of China toverify the effectiveness of the proposed oscillation propertyclassification method in Section 4 Conclusions are given inSection 5
2 Feature Extraction of Power Oscillations
21 Introduction of Power Oscillations When a free oscilla-tion happens in a power system the rotor angle rotationspeed of synchronous generators and relevant electric vari-ables (such as the power flow of transmission lines and busvoltages) will oscillate accordingly among which the powerflow of transmission line 119875

1198961198941199091198940119890120582119894119905 (1)
where 119896119894denotes the participation factor of oscillation pattern
119894 1199091198940is the initial value of state variable according to oscil-
lation pattern 119894 120582119894denotes the eigenvalue of the oscillation
pattern 119894 Generally 120582119894can be expressed as
12058212= 120572 plusmn 119895120596 (2)
In (2) 120572 indicates the damping performance of the oscilla-tion120596 denotes the frequency characteristic of the oscillationthe damping ratio of the oscillation is defined as
120585 =minus120572
radic1205722 + 1205962 (3)
The oscillation curve of any free oscillation mode can beexpressed as
119875119894119895= 1198611119890120572119905 sin (120596119905 + 120601
1) (4)
Therefore when any oscillation mode with 120585 lt 0 (ie120572 gt 0) exists in the power system any small disturbancewould stimulate thismode and result in a power oscillation ofthe tie line with increasing amplitude as shown in Figure 1(a)That is the so-called negative damping oscillation If all thedamping ratios of oscillation patterns are larger than zerothe small disturbance occurring at the power system wouldbe restrained by the positive damping
For any forced oscillation in the power system with anextreme disturbance like ℎ sin(120596
119889119905) it can be expressed as a
second-order system
+ 2120585120596 + 1205962119909 = ℎ sin (120596
119889119905) (5)
Solving (5) the oscillation curve of forced oscillation is
119875119894119895= 1198611119890120572119905 sin (120596119905 + 120601
1) + 1198612sin (120596
119889119905 + 1206012) (6)
Under the circumstance of 120585 gt 0 (ie 120572 lt 0) the freeoscillation part 119861
1119890120572119905 sin(120596119905+120601
1) in (6) will decay But power
resonance would be motivated and large oscillation wouldfollow as shown in Figure 1(b) if the oscillation frequency 120596
119889
of the extreme disturbance is equal or close to the systemrsquosnatural frequency 120596
From the analysis above it can be concluded that theenvelope curve of negative damping oscillation increases as1198611119890120572119905The envelope curve of forced oscillationwill increase at
the initial stage Then it transits to an oscillation as (ℎ2(120596 minus120596119889)120596)119890120572119905 sin((120596minus120596
119889)119905+1206012)+1198612at the transitory stage At last it
will die down to a constant as1198612at stable stage [19]Thus there
is obvious distinction between the envelope curves of the twokinds of power oscillations

22 Hilbert Transform Hilbert transform (HT) [26] offers aneffective approach to extract envelope curves as oscillationfeatures for different kinds of power oscillations For the fol-lowing power oscillation signal in a power grid
119906 (119905) = 119860 (119905) cos120593 (119905) (7)
HT could be applied to acquire its complex conjugate signal

V(119905) is a sinusoidal signal similar to 119906(119905) It could beexpressed as V(119905) = 119860(119905) sin120593(119905) 119906(119905) and V(119905) constitute aHTpair which makes up the following HT analytic signal
119908 (119905) = 119860 (119905) cos120593 (119905) + 119895119860 (119905) sin120593 (119905) (9)
Namely
119908 (119905) = 119860 (119905) 119890119895120593(119905)
119860 (119905) = radic1199062(119905) + V2 (119905)
(10)
Therefore the amplitude 119860(119905) of HT analytic signalreflects global change trend of the signal 119860(119905) represents theenvelope of the oscillation signal and could be calculated byusing (8) when the analytic signal is a signal with intrinsicoscillation mode
23 Feature Extraction The envelope curve of power oscil-lation will be obtained by HT after the power oscillation inpower grid is detected by the wide area measurement system(WAMS) Then the envelope curve is normalized accordingto the steady value before oscillation happens Finally twentyevenly spaced points on the envelope curve are selected inevery 2119879 interval (119879 is oscillation period of the power oscil-lation) to constitute a group of feature matrices as shown inFigure 2
It is well known that the power oscillation in a power sys-tem generally combines various swing modes If there is onlyone dominant oscillation mode the oscillation amplitude ofother oscillationmodes is small compared with the dominantoscillationmodeThe influence of other oscillationmodes ondominant oscillation mode can be neglected If there are twoor more than two dominant oscillation modes the dominant

oscillation mode with positive damping ratio will decay afterseconds or minutes Then only the oscillation mode withnegative damping ratio retains Meanwhile the data used forpower oscillation feature extraction contains 40 cycles of theoscillation curve After several cycles only the oscillationmode with negative damping ratio will retain and be used forthe oscillation property classification
However the power oscillation with two negative damp-ing oscillation modes has similar expression with forcedpower oscillation The beat-frequency oscillation will also beperceived in the power oscillationwith two negative dampingoscillation modes It is hard to distinguish the forced poweroscillation and the power oscillationwith two negative damp-ing oscillation modes However the power oscillation withtwo negative damping oscillation modes is very unusual inpower system thus the negative damping power oscillation inthis paper is the power oscillation with only one negativedamping oscillation mode Under this premise the featurematrices can represent the power oscillation property of thesystem
Difference of adjacent points of the feature matricesdenotes the change direction of the envelope curve and thesecond-order difference denotes its change tendency As fornegative damping oscillation the variation rate of the enve-lope curves is generally positive with oscillation amplitudegrowing more and more rapidly This means that the first-order and second-order difference of adjacent points from thefeature matrices should also be positive However for forcedoscillations the envelope curve hasminimum andmaximumpoints This indicates that the first-order or second-orderdifference of adjacent points could be zero or negative

3 Oscillation Property ClassificationBased on SVM
31 Basic Theory of SVM SVM-based classification methodis established on the basis of structural risk minimizationprinciple and VC theory (Vapnik and Chervonenkis theory)[27] In order to obtain excellent capability of generalizationaccording to a certain amount of samples the SVM-basedclassificationmethod seeks the best compromise between thecomplication of themodel and its learning capacityThe prin-ciple idea of SVM is as follows it firstlymaps the input vectorsin sample space into some high or even infinite dimensionalfeature space through some nonlinear mapping function120601(119909) And then the nonlinear and nonclassifiable problemin the original sample space is transformed into a linear andclassifiable problem in the high dimensional feature space Atlast in this feature space a linear decision surface is con-structed with special properties that possess the largest sep-aration margin between the two classes just as shown inFigure 3
For the given linear and separable training patterns(119909119894 119889119894)119897
119894=1 119909119894isin 119877119899 119889119894isin 1 minus1 119909
119894denotes the 119899-
dimensional input vector and 119889119894denotes the class of the sam-
ple For further explanation 1 denotes the positive class andminus1 denotes the negative class These two sets are linearly sep-arable on the condition that there are a vector 120596 and scalar 119887which satisfy
120596 sdot 119909119894+ 119887 ge 1
if 119909119894isin positive sample set namely 119910
119894= 1
120596 sdot 119909119894+ 119887 le minus1
if 119909119894isin negative sample set namely 119910
119894= minus1
(11)
If the vector 120596 has the minimum norm then the hyper-plane 119910 = 120596 sdot 119909 + 119887 separates the training data with a maxi-mal margin It is the unique and optimal hyper plane forclassification of the train data
If the training data in the input space is nonlinear in orderto construct a hyper plane to classify the nonlinear samplesone first has tomap the input vector119909 into a higher dimensionfeature space by function 120601(119909) and then takes the sign of thefunction
119910 = 120596 sdot 120601 (119909) + 119887 (12)
Consider the casewhen the training data cannot be classi-fied without error Penalty constant 119862 and some nonnegativevariables 120585
119894are introduced to punish the incorrect classi-
fication Then this idea can be expressed formally as anoptimization problem as follows

(6) Property classification of the oscillation incident ifthe quantity of 1 is muchmore than minus1 the oscillationincident is negative damping oscillation Else if thequantity of minus1 is much more than 1 the oscillationincident is forced oscillation
4 Simulation Verification
41 Tests on 16-Machine 68-Bus System The circuit diagramof IEEE16-machine 68-bus benchmark system is shown inFigure 5 Some forced oscillating sources with oscillationfrequency close to the natural oscillation frequency of thegenerators are applied at different nodes in the power gridand ninety-six samples of power oscillation curves areobtainedThen sixty-four power oscillation curves under thenegative damping condition are obtained by lowering the gainof power system stabilizer (PSS) Twenty forced poweroscillation curves (represented by C1) and negative dampingpower oscillation curves (represented byC2) respectively areselected for training and the remaining 120 oscillation curvesare used for testing Table 1 gives the simulation result forthe oscillation property classification based on the proposedmethod A 2 times 2 confusionmatrix is constructed to show theclassification performance for each case The diagonal ele-ments represent the correctly classified power oscillationtypes The off-diagonal elements represent the misclassifica-tions As we can see from Table 1 different kernel functionfor SVMmodel will bring different classification precision forpower oscillation curves When sigmoid function is selectedas kernel function themodel has highest accuracyThereforethis paper adopts this function as kernel function for SVMmodel
Since noise is omnipresent in electrical power systemGaussian white noise is considered in the classification ofpower oscillations Different levels of noises with the noise tosignal ratio values ranging from 5 to 10 were consideredAs the noise to signal ratio increases the adaptability of SVMmodel decreases and the precision of the power oscillationproperty classification degrades Table 1 shows that the pre-cision of the power oscillation property classifycation is stillabove 88 even with the noise to signal ratio rising up to10 Thus the SVM-based proposed method can effectivelyclassify different kinds of the power oscillation
42 Analysis of Forced Power Oscillation in a Real Incident In2008 a thermal power plant was asynchronously connectedto theCentral China PowerGrid through 110 kV transmissionlines Power oscillationswere observed inHenanHunan andJiangxi power gridsThewhole oscillation durationwas abouttwo minutes with 07Hz oscillation frequency at initial stageand then the oscillatory power of the tie line increasedgradually When the oscillation stabilized the oscillatoryfrequency of the power grid was 062Hz and the oscillatoryamplitude of the active power of tie line between Henan andHubei was about 250MW Subsequently the 110 kV transmis-sion line in the fault regionwas cut off and the oscillation dieddown quickly This power oscillation incident was classifiedas a typical forced power oscillation incident and the thermalpower plant was the oscillation source [29] The active poweroscilloscope record of Yao-Shao tie line is given in Figure 6Eleven additional active power oscilloscope records of differ-ent tie lines are selected for the oscillation property classifi-cation The support vector machine trained at Section 41 isemployed to identify the oscillation property of the elevenactive power oscilloscope records and the result is shown inTable 2 It can be seen that only one power oscillation curveis misidentified as negative damping oscillation and the otherten oscillation curves are all identified as forced oscillation

43 Analysis of Negative Damping Oscillation in a RealIncident In 2005 a wide area power oscillation took place inCentral China PowerGrid and thewhole oscillation lasted forabout five minutes The power oscillation frequency wasabout 077Hz Large power fluctuations were detected at theThreeGorgesHydroelectric Power Plant and its nearby powerplants in Douli Jianglin Longquan and Wanxian Thenthe operator of the power grid increased the output reactivepower of the Three Gorges Hydroelectric Power Plant anddecreased the active power output of Huanglongtan PowerPlant in northwest Hubei Subsequently the oscillationdecayed gradually until it died outThe incident was a typicalnegative damping power oscillation [18] Figure 7 shows theactive power oscilloscope record of the second Long-Dou tieline during the power oscillation Twenty active poweroscilloscope records of different tie lines at the power gridare selected to identify the oscillation property by the SVMtrained in Section 41 The identification result is shown inTable 3 Taking identification error into consideration theresult in Table 3 indicates that the oscillation incident belongsto negative damping oscillation which is also consistent withthe analysis result [18]
5 Conclusions

Gaussian white noise is considered in the research of poweroscillation classification With the increase of the noise tosignal ratio the adaptability of SVM model decreases andthe precision of the power oscillation property classificationdegrades However even with the noise to signal ratio reach-ing up 10 the precision of the power oscillation propertyclassification is still above 88 Moreover two real incidentsin the real power systems are used to verify the proposedclassification method Results show that the identified resultsfrom the proposed method is the same with the postincidentanalytical identification result while the postanalytical iden-tification is an offline time consuming method only appliedafter the oscillation happens The proposed method can beapplied online and provides guidance for the dispatcher toselect the correct suppressing control (the negative dampingone or the forced oscillating one) during the oscillationperiod to stop the propagation of oscillations

22 Hilbert Transform Hilbert transform (HT) [26] offers aneffective approach to extract envelope curves as oscillationfeatures for different kinds of power oscillations For the fol-lowing power oscillation signal in a power grid
119906 (119905) = 119860 (119905) cos120593 (119905) (7)
HT could be applied to acquire its complex conjugate signal

V(119905) is a sinusoidal signal similar to 119906(119905) It could beexpressed as V(119905) = 119860(119905) sin120593(119905) 119906(119905) and V(119905) constitute aHTpair which makes up the following HT analytic signal
119908 (119905) = 119860 (119905) cos120593 (119905) + 119895119860 (119905) sin120593 (119905) (9)
Namely
119908 (119905) = 119860 (119905) 119890119895120593(119905)
119860 (119905) = radic1199062(119905) + V2 (119905)
(10)
Therefore the amplitude 119860(119905) of HT analytic signalreflects global change trend of the signal 119860(119905) represents theenvelope of the oscillation signal and could be calculated byusing (8) when the analytic signal is a signal with intrinsicoscillation mode
23 Feature Extraction The envelope curve of power oscil-lation will be obtained by HT after the power oscillation inpower grid is detected by the wide area measurement system(WAMS) Then the envelope curve is normalized accordingto the steady value before oscillation happens Finally twentyevenly spaced points on the envelope curve are selected inevery 2119879 interval (119879 is oscillation period of the power oscil-lation) to constitute a group of feature matrices as shown inFigure 2
It is well known that the power oscillation in a power sys-tem generally combines various swing modes If there is onlyone dominant oscillation mode the oscillation amplitude ofother oscillationmodes is small compared with the dominantoscillationmodeThe influence of other oscillationmodes ondominant oscillation mode can be neglected If there are twoor more than two dominant oscillation modes the dominant

oscillation mode with positive damping ratio will decay afterseconds or minutes Then only the oscillation mode withnegative damping ratio retains Meanwhile the data used forpower oscillation feature extraction contains 40 cycles of theoscillation curve After several cycles only the oscillationmode with negative damping ratio will retain and be used forthe oscillation property classification
However the power oscillation with two negative damp-ing oscillation modes has similar expression with forcedpower oscillation The beat-frequency oscillation will also beperceived in the power oscillationwith two negative dampingoscillation modes It is hard to distinguish the forced poweroscillation and the power oscillationwith two negative damp-ing oscillation modes However the power oscillation withtwo negative damping oscillation modes is very unusual inpower system thus the negative damping power oscillation inthis paper is the power oscillation with only one negativedamping oscillation mode Under this premise the featurematrices can represent the power oscillation property of thesystem
Difference of adjacent points of the feature matricesdenotes the change direction of the envelope curve and thesecond-order difference denotes its change tendency As fornegative damping oscillation the variation rate of the enve-lope curves is generally positive with oscillation amplitudegrowing more and more rapidly This means that the first-order and second-order difference of adjacent points from thefeature matrices should also be positive However for forcedoscillations the envelope curve hasminimum andmaximumpoints This indicates that the first-order or second-orderdifference of adjacent points could be zero or negative

Therefore the feature matrices obtained in this paper at leastcontain the oscillation characteristic of the power oscillationwhich could be utilized for power oscillation property clas-sification Besides the feature matrices extraction of poweroscillation curves will be the foundation of the followingwork
3 Oscillation Property ClassificationBased on SVM
31 Basic Theory of SVM SVM-based classification methodis established on the basis of structural risk minimizationprinciple and VC theory (Vapnik and Chervonenkis theory)[27] In order to obtain excellent capability of generalizationaccording to a certain amount of samples the SVM-basedclassificationmethod seeks the best compromise between thecomplication of themodel and its learning capacityThe prin-ciple idea of SVM is as follows it firstlymaps the input vectorsin sample space into some high or even infinite dimensionalfeature space through some nonlinear mapping function120601(119909) And then the nonlinear and nonclassifiable problemin the original sample space is transformed into a linear andclassifiable problem in the high dimensional feature space Atlast in this feature space a linear decision surface is con-structed with special properties that possess the largest sep-aration margin between the two classes just as shown inFigure 3
For the given linear and separable training patterns(119909119894 119889119894)119897
119894=1 119909119894isin 119877119899 119889119894isin 1 minus1 119909
119894denotes the 119899-
dimensional input vector and 119889119894denotes the class of the sam-
ple For further explanation 1 denotes the positive class andminus1 denotes the negative class These two sets are linearly sep-arable on the condition that there are a vector 120596 and scalar 119887which satisfy
120596 sdot 119909119894+ 119887 ge 1
if 119909119894isin positive sample set namely 119910
119894= 1
120596 sdot 119909119894+ 119887 le minus1
if 119909119894isin negative sample set namely 119910
119894= minus1
(11)
If the vector 120596 has the minimum norm then the hyper-plane 119910 = 120596 sdot 119909 + 119887 separates the training data with a maxi-mal margin It is the unique and optimal hyper plane forclassification of the train data
If the training data in the input space is nonlinear in orderto construct a hyper plane to classify the nonlinear samplesone first has tomap the input vector119909 into a higher dimensionfeature space by function 120601(119909) and then takes the sign of thefunction
119910 = 120596 sdot 120601 (119909) + 119887 (12)
Consider the casewhen the training data cannot be classi-fied without error Penalty constant 119862 and some nonnegativevariables 120585
119894are introduced to punish the incorrect classi-
fication Then this idea can be expressed formally as anoptimization problem as follows

4 Simulation Verification
41 Tests on 16-Machine 68-Bus System The circuit diagramof IEEE16-machine 68-bus benchmark system is shown inFigure 5 Some forced oscillating sources with oscillationfrequency close to the natural oscillation frequency of thegenerators are applied at different nodes in the power gridand ninety-six samples of power oscillation curves areobtainedThen sixty-four power oscillation curves under thenegative damping condition are obtained by lowering the gainof power system stabilizer (PSS) Twenty forced poweroscillation curves (represented by C1) and negative dampingpower oscillation curves (represented byC2) respectively areselected for training and the remaining 120 oscillation curvesare used for testing Table 1 gives the simulation result forthe oscillation property classification based on the proposedmethod A 2 times 2 confusionmatrix is constructed to show theclassification performance for each case The diagonal ele-ments represent the correctly classified power oscillationtypes The off-diagonal elements represent the misclassifica-tions As we can see from Table 1 different kernel functionfor SVMmodel will bring different classification precision forpower oscillation curves When sigmoid function is selectedas kernel function themodel has highest accuracyThereforethis paper adopts this function as kernel function for SVMmodel
Since noise is omnipresent in electrical power systemGaussian white noise is considered in the classification ofpower oscillations Different levels of noises with the noise tosignal ratio values ranging from 5 to 10 were consideredAs the noise to signal ratio increases the adaptability of SVMmodel decreases and the precision of the power oscillationproperty classification degrades Table 1 shows that the pre-cision of the power oscillation property classifycation is stillabove 88 even with the noise to signal ratio rising up to10 Thus the SVM-based proposed method can effectivelyclassify different kinds of the power oscillation
42 Analysis of Forced Power Oscillation in a Real Incident In2008 a thermal power plant was asynchronously connectedto theCentral China PowerGrid through 110 kV transmissionlines Power oscillationswere observed inHenanHunan andJiangxi power gridsThewhole oscillation durationwas abouttwo minutes with 07Hz oscillation frequency at initial stageand then the oscillatory power of the tie line increasedgradually When the oscillation stabilized the oscillatoryfrequency of the power grid was 062Hz and the oscillatoryamplitude of the active power of tie line between Henan andHubei was about 250MW Subsequently the 110 kV transmis-sion line in the fault regionwas cut off and the oscillation dieddown quickly This power oscillation incident was classifiedas a typical forced power oscillation incident and the thermalpower plant was the oscillation source [29] The active poweroscilloscope record of Yao-Shao tie line is given in Figure 6Eleven additional active power oscilloscope records of differ-ent tie lines are selected for the oscillation property classifi-cation The support vector machine trained at Section 41 isemployed to identify the oscillation property of the elevenactive power oscilloscope records and the result is shown inTable 2 It can be seen that only one power oscillation curveis misidentified as negative damping oscillation and the otherten oscillation curves are all identified as forced oscillation

Gaussian white noise is considered in the research of poweroscillation classification With the increase of the noise tosignal ratio the adaptability of SVM model decreases andthe precision of the power oscillation property classificationdegrades However even with the noise to signal ratio reach-ing up 10 the precision of the power oscillation propertyclassification is still above 88 Moreover two real incidentsin the real power systems are used to verify the proposedclassification method Results show that the identified resultsfrom the proposed method is the same with the postincidentanalytical identification result while the postanalytical iden-tification is an offline time consuming method only appliedafter the oscillation happens The proposed method can beapplied online and provides guidance for the dispatcher toselect the correct suppressing control (the negative dampingone or the forced oscillating one) during the oscillationperiod to stop the propagation of oscillations

Therefore the feature matrices obtained in this paper at leastcontain the oscillation characteristic of the power oscillationwhich could be utilized for power oscillation property clas-sification Besides the feature matrices extraction of poweroscillation curves will be the foundation of the followingwork
3 Oscillation Property ClassificationBased on SVM
31 Basic Theory of SVM SVM-based classification methodis established on the basis of structural risk minimizationprinciple and VC theory (Vapnik and Chervonenkis theory)[27] In order to obtain excellent capability of generalizationaccording to a certain amount of samples the SVM-basedclassificationmethod seeks the best compromise between thecomplication of themodel and its learning capacityThe prin-ciple idea of SVM is as follows it firstlymaps the input vectorsin sample space into some high or even infinite dimensionalfeature space through some nonlinear mapping function120601(119909) And then the nonlinear and nonclassifiable problemin the original sample space is transformed into a linear andclassifiable problem in the high dimensional feature space Atlast in this feature space a linear decision surface is con-structed with special properties that possess the largest sep-aration margin between the two classes just as shown inFigure 3
For the given linear and separable training patterns(119909119894 119889119894)119897
119894=1 119909119894isin 119877119899 119889119894isin 1 minus1 119909
119894denotes the 119899-
dimensional input vector and 119889119894denotes the class of the sam-
ple For further explanation 1 denotes the positive class andminus1 denotes the negative class These two sets are linearly sep-arable on the condition that there are a vector 120596 and scalar 119887which satisfy
120596 sdot 119909119894+ 119887 ge 1
if 119909119894isin positive sample set namely 119910
119894= 1
120596 sdot 119909119894+ 119887 le minus1
if 119909119894isin negative sample set namely 119910
119894= minus1
(11)
If the vector 120596 has the minimum norm then the hyper-plane 119910 = 120596 sdot 119909 + 119887 separates the training data with a maxi-mal margin It is the unique and optimal hyper plane forclassification of the train data
If the training data in the input space is nonlinear in orderto construct a hyper plane to classify the nonlinear samplesone first has tomap the input vector119909 into a higher dimensionfeature space by function 120601(119909) and then takes the sign of thefunction
119910 = 120596 sdot 120601 (119909) + 119887 (12)
Consider the casewhen the training data cannot be classi-fied without error Penalty constant 119862 and some nonnegativevariables 120585
119894are introduced to punish the incorrect classi-
fication Then this idea can be expressed formally as anoptimization problem as follows

(6) Property classification of the oscillation incident ifthe quantity of 1 is muchmore than minus1 the oscillationincident is negative damping oscillation Else if thequantity of minus1 is much more than 1 the oscillationincident is forced oscillation
4 Simulation Verification
41 Tests on 16-Machine 68-Bus System The circuit diagramof IEEE16-machine 68-bus benchmark system is shown inFigure 5 Some forced oscillating sources with oscillationfrequency close to the natural oscillation frequency of thegenerators are applied at different nodes in the power gridand ninety-six samples of power oscillation curves areobtainedThen sixty-four power oscillation curves under thenegative damping condition are obtained by lowering the gainof power system stabilizer (PSS) Twenty forced poweroscillation curves (represented by C1) and negative dampingpower oscillation curves (represented byC2) respectively areselected for training and the remaining 120 oscillation curvesare used for testing Table 1 gives the simulation result forthe oscillation property classification based on the proposedmethod A 2 times 2 confusionmatrix is constructed to show theclassification performance for each case The diagonal ele-ments represent the correctly classified power oscillationtypes The off-diagonal elements represent the misclassifica-tions As we can see from Table 1 different kernel functionfor SVMmodel will bring different classification precision forpower oscillation curves When sigmoid function is selectedas kernel function themodel has highest accuracyThereforethis paper adopts this function as kernel function for SVMmodel
Since noise is omnipresent in electrical power systemGaussian white noise is considered in the classification ofpower oscillations Different levels of noises with the noise tosignal ratio values ranging from 5 to 10 were consideredAs the noise to signal ratio increases the adaptability of SVMmodel decreases and the precision of the power oscillationproperty classification degrades Table 1 shows that the pre-cision of the power oscillation property classifycation is stillabove 88 even with the noise to signal ratio rising up to10 Thus the SVM-based proposed method can effectivelyclassify different kinds of the power oscillation
42 Analysis of Forced Power Oscillation in a Real Incident In2008 a thermal power plant was asynchronously connectedto theCentral China PowerGrid through 110 kV transmissionlines Power oscillationswere observed inHenanHunan andJiangxi power gridsThewhole oscillation durationwas abouttwo minutes with 07Hz oscillation frequency at initial stageand then the oscillatory power of the tie line increasedgradually When the oscillation stabilized the oscillatoryfrequency of the power grid was 062Hz and the oscillatoryamplitude of the active power of tie line between Henan andHubei was about 250MW Subsequently the 110 kV transmis-sion line in the fault regionwas cut off and the oscillation dieddown quickly This power oscillation incident was classifiedas a typical forced power oscillation incident and the thermalpower plant was the oscillation source [29] The active poweroscilloscope record of Yao-Shao tie line is given in Figure 6Eleven additional active power oscilloscope records of differ-ent tie lines are selected for the oscillation property classifi-cation The support vector machine trained at Section 41 isemployed to identify the oscillation property of the elevenactive power oscilloscope records and the result is shown inTable 2 It can be seen that only one power oscillation curveis misidentified as negative damping oscillation and the otherten oscillation curves are all identified as forced oscillation

buses at the power grid using the trained SVMmodelin procedure (3) As for the recognized result of theoscillation curves 1 represents the negative dampingoscillation and minus1 represents the forced oscillation
(6) Property classification of the oscillation incident ifthe quantity of 1 is muchmore than minus1 the oscillationincident is negative damping oscillation Else if thequantity of minus1 is much more than 1 the oscillationincident is forced oscillation
4 Simulation Verification
41 Tests on 16-Machine 68-Bus System The circuit diagramof IEEE16-machine 68-bus benchmark system is shown inFigure 5 Some forced oscillating sources with oscillationfrequency close to the natural oscillation frequency of thegenerators are applied at different nodes in the power gridand ninety-six samples of power oscillation curves areobtainedThen sixty-four power oscillation curves under thenegative damping condition are obtained by lowering the gainof power system stabilizer (PSS) Twenty forced poweroscillation curves (represented by C1) and negative dampingpower oscillation curves (represented byC2) respectively areselected for training and the remaining 120 oscillation curvesare used for testing Table 1 gives the simulation result forthe oscillation property classification based on the proposedmethod A 2 times 2 confusionmatrix is constructed to show theclassification performance for each case The diagonal ele-ments represent the correctly classified power oscillationtypes The off-diagonal elements represent the misclassifica-tions As we can see from Table 1 different kernel functionfor SVMmodel will bring different classification precision forpower oscillation curves When sigmoid function is selectedas kernel function themodel has highest accuracyThereforethis paper adopts this function as kernel function for SVMmodel
Since noise is omnipresent in electrical power systemGaussian white noise is considered in the classification ofpower oscillations Different levels of noises with the noise tosignal ratio values ranging from 5 to 10 were consideredAs the noise to signal ratio increases the adaptability of SVMmodel decreases and the precision of the power oscillationproperty classification degrades Table 1 shows that the pre-cision of the power oscillation property classifycation is stillabove 88 even with the noise to signal ratio rising up to10 Thus the SVM-based proposed method can effectivelyclassify different kinds of the power oscillation
42 Analysis of Forced Power Oscillation in a Real Incident In2008 a thermal power plant was asynchronously connectedto theCentral China PowerGrid through 110 kV transmissionlines Power oscillationswere observed inHenanHunan andJiangxi power gridsThewhole oscillation durationwas abouttwo minutes with 07Hz oscillation frequency at initial stageand then the oscillatory power of the tie line increasedgradually When the oscillation stabilized the oscillatoryfrequency of the power grid was 062Hz and the oscillatoryamplitude of the active power of tie line between Henan andHubei was about 250MW Subsequently the 110 kV transmis-sion line in the fault regionwas cut off and the oscillation dieddown quickly This power oscillation incident was classifiedas a typical forced power oscillation incident and the thermalpower plant was the oscillation source [29] The active poweroscilloscope record of Yao-Shao tie line is given in Figure 6Eleven additional active power oscilloscope records of differ-ent tie lines are selected for the oscillation property classifi-cation The support vector machine trained at Section 41 isemployed to identify the oscillation property of the elevenactive power oscilloscope records and the result is shown inTable 2 It can be seen that only one power oscillation curveis misidentified as negative damping oscillation and the otherten oscillation curves are all identified as forced oscillation

Figure 5 Simulation example of IEEE16-machine 68-bus benchmark system
buses at the power grid using the trained SVMmodelin procedure (3) As for the recognized result of theoscillation curves 1 represents the negative dampingoscillation and minus1 represents the forced oscillation
(6) Property classification of the oscillation incident ifthe quantity of 1 is muchmore than minus1 the oscillationincident is negative damping oscillation Else if thequantity of minus1 is much more than 1 the oscillationincident is forced oscillation
4 Simulation Verification
41 Tests on 16-Machine 68-Bus System The circuit diagramof IEEE16-machine 68-bus benchmark system is shown inFigure 5 Some forced oscillating sources with oscillationfrequency close to the natural oscillation frequency of thegenerators are applied at different nodes in the power gridand ninety-six samples of power oscillation curves areobtainedThen sixty-four power oscillation curves under thenegative damping condition are obtained by lowering the gainof power system stabilizer (PSS) Twenty forced poweroscillation curves (represented by C1) and negative dampingpower oscillation curves (represented byC2) respectively areselected for training and the remaining 120 oscillation curvesare used for testing Table 1 gives the simulation result forthe oscillation property classification based on the proposedmethod A 2 times 2 confusionmatrix is constructed to show theclassification performance for each case The diagonal ele-ments represent the correctly classified power oscillationtypes The off-diagonal elements represent the misclassifica-tions As we can see from Table 1 different kernel functionfor SVMmodel will bring different classification precision forpower oscillation curves When sigmoid function is selectedas kernel function themodel has highest accuracyThereforethis paper adopts this function as kernel function for SVMmodel
Since noise is omnipresent in electrical power systemGaussian white noise is considered in the classification ofpower oscillations Different levels of noises with the noise tosignal ratio values ranging from 5 to 10 were consideredAs the noise to signal ratio increases the adaptability of SVMmodel decreases and the precision of the power oscillationproperty classification degrades Table 1 shows that the pre-cision of the power oscillation property classifycation is stillabove 88 even with the noise to signal ratio rising up to10 Thus the SVM-based proposed method can effectivelyclassify different kinds of the power oscillation
42 Analysis of Forced Power Oscillation in a Real Incident In2008 a thermal power plant was asynchronously connectedto theCentral China PowerGrid through 110 kV transmissionlines Power oscillationswere observed inHenanHunan andJiangxi power gridsThewhole oscillation durationwas abouttwo minutes with 07Hz oscillation frequency at initial stageand then the oscillatory power of the tie line increasedgradually When the oscillation stabilized the oscillatoryfrequency of the power grid was 062Hz and the oscillatoryamplitude of the active power of tie line between Henan andHubei was about 250MW Subsequently the 110 kV transmis-sion line in the fault regionwas cut off and the oscillation dieddown quickly This power oscillation incident was classifiedas a typical forced power oscillation incident and the thermalpower plant was the oscillation source [29] The active poweroscilloscope record of Yao-Shao tie line is given in Figure 6Eleven additional active power oscilloscope records of differ-ent tie lines are selected for the oscillation property classifi-cation The support vector machine trained at Section 41 isemployed to identify the oscillation property of the elevenactive power oscilloscope records and the result is shown inTable 2 It can be seen that only one power oscillation curveis misidentified as negative damping oscillation and the otherten oscillation curves are all identified as forced oscillation

Considering identification error forced oscillation is chosenas the final identification result which is consistent with theanalytical result of the incident [29]
43 Analysis of Negative Damping Oscillation in a RealIncident In 2005 a wide area power oscillation took place inCentral China PowerGrid and thewhole oscillation lasted forabout five minutes The power oscillation frequency wasabout 077Hz Large power fluctuations were detected at theThreeGorgesHydroelectric Power Plant and its nearby powerplants in Douli Jianglin Longquan and Wanxian Thenthe operator of the power grid increased the output reactivepower of the Three Gorges Hydroelectric Power Plant anddecreased the active power output of Huanglongtan PowerPlant in northwest Hubei Subsequently the oscillationdecayed gradually until it died outThe incident was a typicalnegative damping power oscillation [18] Figure 7 shows theactive power oscilloscope record of the second Long-Dou tieline during the power oscillation Twenty active poweroscilloscope records of different tie lines at the power gridare selected to identify the oscillation property by the SVMtrained in Section 41 The identification result is shown inTable 3 Taking identification error into consideration theresult in Table 3 indicates that the oscillation incident belongsto negative damping oscillation which is also consistent withthe analysis result [18]
5 Conclusions

Gaussian white noise is considered in the research of poweroscillation classification With the increase of the noise tosignal ratio the adaptability of SVM model decreases andthe precision of the power oscillation property classificationdegrades However even with the noise to signal ratio reach-ing up 10 the precision of the power oscillation propertyclassification is still above 88 Moreover two real incidentsin the real power systems are used to verify the proposedclassification method Results show that the identified resultsfrom the proposed method is the same with the postincidentanalytical identification result while the postanalytical iden-tification is an offline time consuming method only appliedafter the oscillation happens The proposed method can beapplied online and provides guidance for the dispatcher toselect the correct suppressing control (the negative dampingone or the forced oscillating one) during the oscillationperiod to stop the propagation of oscillations

Gaussian white noise is considered in the research of poweroscillation classification With the increase of the noise tosignal ratio the adaptability of SVM model decreases andthe precision of the power oscillation property classificationdegrades However even with the noise to signal ratio reach-ing up 10 the precision of the power oscillation propertyclassification is still above 88 Moreover two real incidentsin the real power systems are used to verify the proposedclassification method Results show that the identified resultsfrom the proposed method is the same with the postincidentanalytical identification result while the postanalytical iden-tification is an offline time consuming method only appliedafter the oscillation happens The proposed method can beapplied online and provides guidance for the dispatcher toselect the correct suppressing control (the negative dampingone or the forced oscillating one) during the oscillationperiod to stop the propagation of oscillations
