Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static sensitivity coefficient calculation into a dynamic approach by incorporating voltage fluctuations and propagation delays. The sensitivity coefficient is recalculated based on real-time system states, making it adaptive to changing conditions while maintaining computational feasibility through structured calculation methods.

Inventive Principle:

2Reliability

If real-time sensitivity analysis is performed to account for voltage fluctuations and propagation delays, then power system stability is improved, but calculation time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary calculations by pre-computing certain sensitivity components and system parameters that can be updated less frequently. This allows the main sensitivity analysis to focus only on the critical real-time variables, reducing calculation time while maintaining accuracy in overload resolution.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The sensitivity calculation is divided into multiple segments: static sensitivity components that change slowly, and dynamic components that require real-time updates. This segmentation allows the system to allocate computational resources efficiently, performing detailed calculations only where and when necessary.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Operations for stabilizing a power system are more appropriately supported. A system stabilization system (1) that supports stabilization of a power system includes a dynamic system sensitivity generation unit (2), a system abnormality resolution procedure generation unit (3), and an output unit (6). The dynamic system sensitivity generation unit (2) generates dynamic system sensitivity (D2) of the power system by using measurement data (D1) obtained by a measurement unit installed in the power system and a sensitivity calculation parameter (D7) as inputs. The system abnormality resolution procedure generation unit (3) uses the dynamic system sensitivity (D2), a controllable device list (D3) indicating a controllable device in the power system, and a system abnormality resolution procedure generation policy (D8) as inputs, to generate a system abnormality resolution procedure (D6) with which the power system is operated with the controllable device controlled to resolve a system abnormality in the power system. The output unit (6) outputs the system abnormality resolution procedure (D6).
