Abstract:
Technologies for controlling forced oscillations in electrical power grids include a processing unit and a phasor measurement unit and a control device coupled to a power grid. The processing unit receives a measurement indicative of active power in the power grid from the phasor measurement unit and determines a frequency of a forced oscillation active in the power grid based on the measurement. The processing unit injects a corrective signal with the control device into the power grid. The processing unit determines a corrective phase and a corrective amplitude in response to injecting the corrective signal. The processing unit continues to inject the corrective signal with the corrective phase and the corrective amplitude. The control device may be a static VAR compensator, a synchronous generator, a static synchronous compensator, a synchronous condenser, an electric storage device, or a solar power plant. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
