Finds hidden problems in power grids.
The paper focuses on tracking eigenvalue trajectories in power system models with time delays. We formulate a continuation-based approach that employs numerical integration to follow eigenvalues as system parameters vary, in the presence of one or multiple delayed variables. The formulation preserves the sparsity of the delay differential-algebraic equation (DDAE) system model and allows treating the delay magnitude itself as a varying parameter with implementation aspects discussed in detail. Accuracy is demonstrated on a modified IEEE 39-bus system with distributed energy resources. Scalability is discussed using a realistic dynamic model of the Irish transmission network.
