Augmented Generator Sub-transient Model Using Dynamic Phasor Measurements

In this article, we present a new model for a synchronous generator based on phasor measurement units (PMUs) data. The proposed sub-transient model allows to estimate the dynamic state variables as well as to calibrate model parameters. The motivation for this new model is to use more efficiently the PMU measurements which are becoming widely available in power grids. The concept of phasor derivative is applied, which not only includes the signal phase derivative but also its amplitude derivative. Applying known non-linear estimation techniques, we study the merits of this new model. In particular, we test robustness by considering a generator with different mechanical power controls.
