Fig. 8.15 The model two area system.
The HVDC line is modeled as two loads: one load connected to the bus at
each area interface. The amount of power drawn by one load is exactly
equal to the power supplied by the other load. The collocated control
scheme is to modulate the power flow along the line proportional to the
frequency difference between areas measured by the PMUs at either end of
the line. The frequency measurement taken at the remote bus (Area 2) is
subject to communications delay. Assuming a dedicated fiber-optic com-
munication channel connecting Areas 1 and 2 it is reasonable to assume that
the delay is less than 50 ms. Figure 8.17 shows the collocated controller

8.4 Coordinated control of oscillations
The system in Figure 8.15 [4] is a four-generator two-area system used as
an example of a power system stabilizer (PSS) design. The four generators
are identical except for the inertias which are 6.5 s in Area 1 and 6.175 in
area 2. The two areas are connected by two 220-km 230 kV lines. Without
the stabilizer there is an unstable low-frequency interarea mode at 0.64 Hz.
The system has been modified [8] by adding a parallel HVDC line con-
necting the two areas. In [8] an artificial situation is created to study the ef-
fect of collocated control using the HVDC line. The situation studied is a
period with the PSS not in service and after the 0.64-Hz oscillation has
grown the PSS is inserted to damp the oscillation. The power flow between
the systems is shown in Figure 8.16
