Application of Recurrence Quantification Analysis to Power System Dynamic Studies.

Recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) is a nonlinear data analysis technique that can quantify the number and duration of a dynamical system of being in nearly the same area in phase space trajectory. This paper proposes three applications of RQA to analyse power system dynamics. These are denoising of PMU data, localization of power system events, and transient stability contingency ranking of power system. All three applications have been demonstrated using a multimachine test system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
