An Analysis of Power System Transient Stability Using Stochastic Energy Functions

Abstract

This paper develops an approach to analyze the impact of stochasticity on the transient stability of a power system. The stochastic power system stability was analyzed both through the stochastic Lyapunov function and numerically using the Euler-Maruyama method. It was shown that increasing either (or both) the variance and the magnitude of the applied noise can have a destabilizing effect on the power system. This could potentially cause difficulties as more randomness is introduced into the power system through renewable energy sources and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
