Extending the perturbation technique to the modal representation of nonlinear systems

After a brief review of perturbation technique, using this method an approach is developed to represent and study the behavior of nonlinear dynamic power systems. For the first time in this field, perturbation technique is applied to obtain an approximate closed form expression for the zero input response of stressed power systems. In order to show the superiority of the proposed method, it has been applied to a typical nonlinear system which is a single machine infinite bus (SMIB) power system with unified power flow controller (UPFC). The accuracy and competency of this method in comparison with Modal Series method will also be validated.
