Abstract

This paper reports the occurrence of a rare phenomenon in dynamical systems when four different attractors namely a stable equilibrium, a stable limit cycle and two strange attractors coexist in a fundamental power system model. The paper shows that power system operation could get trapped into sustained chaotic oscillations after a large disturbance even when there exists a viable stable equilibrium point in the model
