Identification of coherent generators (CGs) in power systems is one of the key steps in determining controlled islanding strategies. In this study, a wide-area measurement system (WAMS) and agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) algorithm based coherency identification method is presented for interconnected power systems with aggregated renewable sources. First, the trajectories measured by WAMS are transformed to the centre of inertia based ones for better representing the dynamic behaviour of a given power system, and ten trajectory dissimilarity indexes are presented for determining the similarity of the trajectories of any two generators. Second, a CRITIC (CRiteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation) based method, in which entropy and the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient are integrated for reflecting the differences and correlations among multiple indexes, respectively, is presented to integrate the trajectory dissimilarity indexes. Next, the AHC algorithm is utilised to identify CGs. Finally, a modified New England--New York interconnected power system with a large number of renewables, a simplified actual Western Interconnection power system in North America and the eastern part of Guangdong power system in China with a recorded oscillation event happened are utilised to demonstrate the proposed widearea coherency identification methodology.
