Summary on Grant Application Form
The objective of the proposal is to apply nonlinear dynamic theory to power system stability analysis with the aim to determine the condition under which chaos or Arnold Diffusion could occur. nonlinear dynamic theory will be used to analyse the mathematical and physical elements behind Lyapunov energy function based methods and hence determine the reasons of the loss of effectiveness of a direct method from the nonlinear dynamic theory's view point. Melnikov Method will be sued to detect the occurrence of chaos and establish condition of chaos and Arnold Diffusion. As a result of this investigation a dynamic stability software package will be developed. It is also intended to utilise the combined salient features of Lyapunov methods and Melnikov method to detect both the stability/instability and strange deformation of energy surfaces which created chaos and Arnold Diffusion. The developed software will assess nonlinear oscillations and its stability from a totally new point of view and which conventional methods fail to assess.
