Power System Dynamic Performance Committee (PSDP)
Join Us
Anyone interested in learning more about the Power System Dynamic Performance (PSDP) Committee and helping advance the committee’s work is welcome to attend the annual meetings of the committee, which are normally held during the IEEE Power and Energy Society General Meetings (PES-GMs). Join industry leaders to discuss and develop standards and technical issues involving dynamic performance of power systems. Volunteer and participate as much as possible. The PSDP Committee is comprised of volunteers and participation is highly encouraged!Who We Are
The Power System Dynamic Performance (PSDP) Committee is one of the many Technical Committees of the IEEE Power & Energy Society. The PSDP Committee is comprised of technical and managerial representatives from electric power system dynamic performance technology providers, manufacturers, vendors, academics, consultants, and electric power end users. The Committee’s products include IEEE Standards, definitions, benchmarks, white papers, recommended practices, and guides. We also organize panel sessions at PES conferences, publish working group papers in IEEE journals, and develop in-depth tutorials on emerging technologies and new standards. The Committee’s work provides a crucial service to society’s need for reliable, safe, and efficient power system infrastructure.
Committee Scope
Investigate various aspects of the dynamic performance of power systems at the level of a given machine, a company or area, or for the entire interconnected power system. This includes all aspects of power system stability, voltage and frequency regulation, and power system control that relate both to the assessment and enhancement of power system dynamic performance. This also includes control theory, modeling and computer simulation techniques that relate to the assessment and enhancement of power system dynamic performance. The committee is composed of numerous working groups (WGs) and task forces (TFs) that span its area of activity. These WGs and TFs report to two subcommittees under the committee: the Power System Stability Subcommittee and the Power System Stability Controls Subcommittee. The committee thus initiates and coordinates WGs, TFs, symposia, panel session and tutorials related to power system dynamic performance. The committee also cooperates with other interested groups in the development of standards that affect system dynamic performance, and where possible, with other groups on analytical models which affect system dynamic performance.
Subject Areas:
- Power system dynamic modeling: components and systems
- Power system stability: phenomena, analysis, and techniques
- Power system stability controls: design and applications
- Monitoring and measurement of power system dynamic performance (including synchrophasor measurements)
- Power system interaction with turbine generators
- Power system dynamic performance of cyber-physical energy systems
- Modeling and dynamic performance of microgrids and distributed energy systems
Power system restoration dynamics - Dynamic security assessment: techniques and applications, risk-based methods
- Modeling and dynamic performance of renewable energy systems
- Simulation of large interconnected power systems: modeling issues and solution schemes
- Benchmark systems for power system dynamic analysis
Subcommittees
Power System Stability Subcommittee
Scope: Identify and investigate stability problems in electric power systems. Provide a forum to discuss physical aspects of stability phenomena and to review and promote the development of methods of analyzing, monitoring, and mitigating stability problems. Investigate and recommend models and modeling procedures for the analysis of system dynamic performance. Consider all relevant power system components, including generation, transmission and load elements that affect system dynamic performance. Coordinate with other groups concerned with the modeling of specific components. Foster development of improved methods for acquiring data on system components and for validation of system representation. Coordinate related activities with other subcommittees of the Power System Dynamic Performance Committee and with other industry groups. Sponsor and promote relevant technical papers and technical sessions.
