Abstract

This paper develops a new analytical model to estimate real-time variations in grid frequency and voltages resulting from dynamic network reconfiguration (DNR). In the proposed model, switching operations are considered as discrete variations in an admittance matrix, leading to step variations in node injection currents. The network model with discrete admittance variations is then integrated with dynamic models of synchronous generators and voltage-dependent loads, enabling analysis of the dynamic grid operations initiated by the DNR. Case studies are performed to validate the proposed model via comparison with a conventional model and a comprehensive MATLAB/SIMULINK model.
