Time delays are inevitable in the power systems with wide-area control signals, which may compromise the control pe-rformance and thus jeopardize the stability of the power systems. To analyze the impacts of system parameters on critical oscillation modes of a time-delayed power system (TDPS), a new method for eigenvalue trajectory tracking of TDPS is proposed in this paper based on the continuation theory of invariant subspaces. When small changes are imposed on system parameters, such as parameters of wide-area damping controllers (WADCs) and time delays, the invariant subspaces are continuously predicted and corrected, followed by the eigenvalues and eigenvectors. In the process, the predictor and corrector are computed by solving linear equations sparsely and in blocks, which is highly scalable and computationally efficient for large-scale power system applications. The 16-generator 68-bus test system and two real-world power grids in China are used to test and demonstrate the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method can accurately and efficiently track eigenvalue trajectories for TDPS, especially for large-scale power grids. In addition, the sensitivities of eigenvalues and eigenvectors with respect to WADCs’ parameters and time delays are obtained as by-products of the approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
