Title: Data-Driven Models for Sub-Cycle Dynamic Response of Inverter-Based Resources Using WMU Measurements
Using real-world data from Waveform Measurement Units (WMUs), this letter proposes novel data-driven methods to model the dynamic response of inverter-based resource (IBR) to the high-frequency disturbances that occur in practice in power systems. WMUs are an emerging class of smart grid sensors. They can capture the fast sub-cycle dynamics in power systems, which are overlooked by phasor measurement units (PMUs). After extracting the differential voltage and current waveforms from the raw waveform data, we develop multiple methods that include data-driven model library construction and proper model selection. One class of methods is proposed in frequency domain, which is based on modal analysis. Another class of methods is proposed in time domain, which is based on regression analysis of time-series. Experimental results based on real-world WMU data demonstrate the of performance the proposed methods.  more » « less

    WAVEFORMS ARE THE MOST GRANULAR ANDauthentic representation of voltage and current in power systems. With the latest advancements in power system measurement technologies, it is now possible to obtain time-synchronized waveform measurements, i.e., synchrowaveforms, from different locations of a power system. The measurement technology to obtain synchro-waveforms is referred to as a waveform measurement unit (WMU). WMUs can capture the most inconspicuous disturbances that are overlooked by other types of time-synchronized sensors, such as phasor measurement units (PMUs). WMUs also monitor system dynamics at much higher frequencies as well as much lower frequencies than the fundamental components of voltage and current that are commonly monitored by PMUs. Thus, synchro-waveforms introduce a ew frontier to advance power system and equipment monitoring and control, with direct applications in situational awareness, system dynamics tracking, incipient fault detection and identification, condition monitoring, and so on. They also play a critical role in monitoring inverter-based resources (IBR) due to the high-frequency switching characteristics of IBRs. Accordingly, in this article, we provide a high-level overview of this new and emerging technology and its implications, discussing the latest advancements in the new field of synchro waveforms, including basic principles, real-world examples, potentials in data analytics, and innovative applications

    Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals (EMRIs) are one of the key sources for future space-based gravitational wave interferometers. Measurements of EMRI gravitational waves are expected to determine the characteristics of their sources with sub-percent precision. However, their waveform generation is challenging due to the long duration of the signal and the high harmonic content. Here, we present the first ready-to-use Schwarzschild eccentric EMRI waveform implementation in the frequency domain for use with either graphics processing units (GPUs) or central processing units (CPUs). We present the overall waveform implementation and test the accuracy and performance of the frequency domain waveforms against the time domain implementation. On GPUs, the frequency domain waveform takes in median 0.044 s to generate and is twice as fast to compute as its time domain counterpart when considering massive black hole masses ≥ 2 × 1 0 6 M ⊙ and initial eccentricitiese0> 0.2. On CPUs, the median waveform evaluation time is 5 s, and it is five times faster in the frequency domain than in the time domain. Using a sparser frequency array can further speed up the waveform generation, reaching up to 0.3 s. This enables us to perform, for the first time, EMRI parameter inference with fully relativistic waveforms on CPUs. Future EMRI models, which encompass wider source characteristics (particularly black hole spin and generic orbit geometries), will require significantly more harmonics. Frequency domain models will be essential analysis tools for these astrophysically realistic and important signals.

    In recent decades, blackouts have shown an increasing prevalence of power outages due to extreme weather events such as hurricanes. Precisely assessing the spatiotemporal outages in distribution networks, the most vulnerable part of power systems, is critical to enhancing power system resilience. The Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) simulation method is widely used for spatiotemporal risk analysis of power systems during extreme weather hazards. However, it is found here that the SMC method can lead to large errors as it repeatedly samples the failure probability from the time-invariant fragility functions of system components in time-series analysis, particularly overestimating damages under evolving hazards with high-frequency sampling. To address this issue, a novel hazard resistance-based spatiotemporal risk analysis (HRSRA) method is proposed. This method converts the failure probability of a component into a hazard resistance and uses it as a time-invariant value in time-series analysis. The proposed HRSRA provides an adaptive framework for incorporating high-spatiotemporal-resolution meteorology models into power outage simulations. By leveraging the geographic information system data of the power system and a physics-based hurricane wind field model, the superiority of the proposed method is validated using real-world time-series power outage data from Puerto Rico, including data collected during Hurricane Fiona in 2022.

    This paper presents a new methodology to detect low-frequency oscillations in power grids by use of timesynchronized data from phasor measurement units (PMUs). Principal component analysis (PCA) is first applied to the massive PMU data to extract the low-dimensional features, i.e., the principal components (PCs). Then, based on persistent homology, a cyclicity response function is proposed to detect low-frequency oscillations through the use of PCs. Whenever the cyclicity response exceeds a numerically robust threshold, a low-frequency oscillation can be detected instantly. Such swift detection can then be followed by modal analysis tools for more detailed information about the oscillation. Numerical examples using real data illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology for quick detection of oscillations during operations.

    A comprehensive understanding of the topology of the electric power transmission network (EPTN) is essential for reliable and robust control of power systems. While existing research primarily relies on domain-specific methods, it lacks data-driven approaches that have proven effective in modeling the topology of complex systems. To address this gap, this paper explores the potential of data-driven methods for more accurate and adaptive solutions to uncover the true underlying topology of EPTNs. First, this paper examines Gaussian Graphical Models (GGM) to create an EPTN network graph (i.e., undirected simple graph). Second, to further refine and validate this estimated network graph, a physics-based, domain specific refinement algorithm is proposed to prune false edges and construct the corresponding electric power flow network graph (i.e., directed multi-graph). The proposed method is tested using a synchrophasor dataset collected from a two-area, four-machine power system simulated on the real-time digital simulator (RTDS) platform. Experimental results show both the network and flow graphs can be reconstructed using various operating conditions and topologies with limited failure cases.
