Forced oscillation case F_7_2 (Back to the homepage)

In this forced oscillation case, the sources of oscillations are at generators 70 and 118.


System model:

  • Generators 70 and 118 are in GENROU model.
  • All other generators are in GENCLS model.
  • Parameter D for all generators equals 4, except for generators 70 and 118 whose D equals 0.
  • All loads are in constant MVA model.

  • Small signal analysis:

  • All natural modes have reasonably good damping.
  • External force:

  • Forced oscillations are injected into excitation systems as sinusoidal signals at generators 70 and 118 respectively to cause resonance with the system mode with frequency 0.43Hz.
