Analysis of Oscillations during Out-of-Step Condition in Power Systems by Zainab Alnassar, S. T. Nagarajan

“…With the advent of synchrophasor-based measurement units, it is now possible to measure the bus voltage angle in real time leading to direct detection of OOS condition in power system and intentional islanding. In this article, a systematic analytical study and EMT time-domain simulation study have been performed to simulate OOS condition in the power systems, and its detection is based on the voltage angle difference with wide-area measurement systems (WAMSs). …”
