A Method for Locating Wideband Oscillation Disturbance Sources in Power Systems by Integrating TimesNet and Autoformer

The large-scale integration of new energy generators into the power grid poses a potential threat to its stable operation due to broadband oscillations. The rapid and accurate localization of oscillation sources is fundamental for mitigating these risks. To enhance the interpretability and accuracy of broadband oscillation localization models, this paper proposes a broadband oscillation localization model based on deep learning, integrating TimesNet and Autoformer algorithms. This model utilizes transmission grid measurement sampling data as the input and employs a data-driven approach to establish the broadband oscillation localization model. TimesNet improves the model’s accuracy significantly by decomposing the measurement data into intra- and inter-period variations using dimensional elevation, tensor transformation, and fast Fourier transform. Autoformer enhances the ability to capture oscillation features through the Auto-Correlation mechanism. A typical high-proportion renewable energy system was constructed using CloudPSS to create a sample dataset. Simulation examples validated the proposed method, demonstrating it as a highly accurate solution for broadband oscillation source localization.
