A new approach for power system online DSA using distributed processing and fuzzy logic

In this paper, a new approach for power system online dynamic security assessment, as well as a tool for calculating the proposed fuzzy dynamic security index is presented. This proposal is based on a three-stage fuzzy inference system, which composes the fuzzy dynamic security index making use of seven performance indexes herein defined. The calculation of the performance indexes is based on the results obtained through dynamic simulations of the system behaviour after each one of the credible contingencies in a given operation state. With the aim of reducing the calculation time a novel distributed processing of the dynamic simulations is also developed. High voltage systems are used to illustrate the ideas presented in the paper.
