Abstract

This paper proposes an approach to obtain dynamic versions of static distribution factors, such as power-transfer, line-outage, and outage-transfer distribution factors. With the proposed dynamic distribution factors (DDFs), one can predict line flows over the post-contingency transient period with the same computational effort as obtaining static distribution factors. Our development centers on deriving closed-form expressions that approximate generator outputs through the post-contingency transient period with a reduced-order aggregate dynamical model to recover dynamic generator participation factors. The full suite of DDFs can then be derived by combining these dynamic generator participation factors with injection shift factors, i.e., static linear sensitivities of line active-power flows with respect to nodal active-power injections, computed at the pre-disturbance steady-state operating point. We illustrate the accuracy and computational benefits of the proposed DDFs via numerical case studies involving the New England test system.
