Description
Summary:This paper deals with the application of the method of normal forms in the analysis of a specific aspect of system dynamic behavior in the Manitoba Hydro system. Following a major loss of transmission capacity on the Manitoba Hydro HVDC system (Nelson River system), and the subsequent operation of protection systems, there is a major deficit of generation in the remaining system, comprising Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The method of normal forms is applied to determine the natural groupings which are formed by the machines in Manitoba Hydro due to nonlinear interaction. This grouping then provides a basis for developing a systematic procedure to island the remaining system. published_or_final_version
