A new test signal method based approach to design power oscillation damping (POD) controller for TCSC is proposed, by which the bulky eigenvalue calculation of state matrix can be avoided.

• 提出了一种基于测试信号法的TCSC功率振荡阻尼(POD)控制器的设计方法,避免了计算量庞大的状态矩阵特征值计算。该方法由3步组成:第1步,利用测试信号法辨识出电力系统的区域间振荡模式和设计POD控制器所需要的信息;
