Leading the way in grid oscillation monitoring

Sub-synchronous Resonance (SSR) occurs when an electrical network exchanges energy with a source at a frequency lower than the system’s synchronous frequency. This energy exchange induces torsional stress on generator shafts¹, posing a risk of damage or fracture. Traditional power grids are designed to mitigate disturbances, however the increasing integration of renewables and electronic equipment has intensified and complicated oscillations.

 

CT LAB has developed a small signal stability algorithm to address grid oscillation that detects and calculates the frequency, amplitude and phase angle of a dominant oscillation phasor within a specified frequency range. VECTO’s small signal stability algorithm concurrently identifies three ranges of dominant oscillation phasors between 0.1Hz to 43Hz., representing low, medium and high frequency ranges.
