Accuracy of Normal Form Approximation for Power System Nonlinear Analysis.

This paper presents some results on the accuracy of normal form analysis for large deviations from the stable equilibrium point (SEP) in a power system. The results of studies on the region of convergence of Neumann series, which is required for normal form analysis, are presented. A polynomial function approximation is proposed to model the generator exciter limiter. Studies on the accuracy of higher order normal form analysis for large deviations from SEP are presented. Use of Prony analysis in addition to simulation is proposed for the verification of accuracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
