Mathematical model parameter estimation of a generating unit operating in the Polish National Power System

In the paper, a method and results of parameter estimation of the mathematical model of a generating unit operating in the Polish National Power System are presented. Computations of the parameters were carried out based on measurement and simulation of dynamic waveforms of selected quantities of the generating unit. The problem of parameter identification was brought to minimization of the objective function determined by the vector of deviations between the approximated and approximating waveforms computed on the basis of the models expressed by the searched parameters. A hybrid optimization algorithm, being a serial combination of genetic and gradient algorithms, was used for minimization of the objective function. A methodology for filtering the recorded measurement signals is proposed in the paper. Method and results calculation of the sensitivity to changes of the model parameters of selected dynamic waveforms are also presented.
