Abstract

The paper treats the problem for of small-signal stability assessment of large electric power system, taking into account uncertainties in the mathematical model. The well-known from robust control theory method of μ-analysis for assessment of robust stability is not applicable large electric power system due to computational problems. Thus the paper proposes a probabilistic approach, based on the Monte Carlo method, which considers specific features of the electric power system. A study is conducted on 4-machine 2-zone test system and the advantages of the proposed algorithm are discussed.
