Research on dynamic load modelling based on power quality monitoring system

Abstract

This study proposes a novel approach for load modelling fulfilled in Guangdong Power Grid, Southern China. Dynamic load modelling lies on real-time data provided by load disturbances. These data can be acquired by power quality equipment fixed on each substation. This study introduces the approach to data processing and load modelling during asymmetric disturbance to solve the problems of insufficient inartificial disturbance data. In order to improve the globaloptimisation capability and identification efficiency in multi-dimensional function, an improved clone selection algorithm is proposed, which includes adaptive-adjust Gaussian mutation operators and the directional evolution mechanism, and also using the character of parameters independence between induction motor model and ZIP model referring to the third-order induction-motor paralleling ZIP model in BPA. The results of practical load modelling prove that the proposed algorithm has great effects on improving model precision and adaptability. Finally, the influences on power angle, frequency, voltage and power between dynamic load model and ZIP are discussed. © The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2013.
