Optimization on the Control Mode of Thermal Power Unit to Suppress Low Frequency Oscillation of Power System by Bao ZHANG, Yangjun DING, Zhenghao GU, Guangyao YING, Yinlong FAN

“…Arising from the observation of significant discrepancies between the turbine speed signal and the power grid frequency signal during the oscillation, an optimization method is proposed to suppress the forced oscillation by virtue of the control mode of thermal power unit. Additionally, it is suggested to replace the speed signal with the power grid frequency signal for the primary frequency modulation.…”
