Description (excerpt):

A comprehensive small-signal stability analysis was performed for the Electric Reliability Council Of Texas (ERCOT) interconnected system. The study was focused on the following three aspects: To perform a comprehensive examination of the small-signal stability situation of the ERCOT system, particularly the sensitivities of the critical system modes with respect to different system conditions, transfer patterns, and various contingencies; to provide recommendations for tuning the existing Power System Stabilizers (PSS) and adding new PSS in the ERCOT system to accomplish optimal performance for identified critical modes without adverse effects; to identify the best Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) locations for oscillation monitoring.
