Esquema Adaptable para la Separación Controlada en Islas Eléctricas basado en Tecnología WAMS

Abstract

In this paper a new methodology for controlled power system islanding based on Wide Area Measurement System (WAMS) is presented. As a first step, generators are classified into coherent groups by means of a recursive clustering algorithm applied to the measurements delivered by Phasor Measurement Units (PMU). The second step defines the transmission lines to be opened in order to create the islands with minimum power imbalance; concepts based on graph theory, shortest electrical distance and active power imbalance are used. The 39 bus - New England System is used to test the outstanding performance of the proposed methodology and show its capability to avoid power systems collapse.
