Constructing analytical energy functions for lossless network-reduction power system models: Framework and new developments

The task of constructing an energy function is essential for direct stability analysis of electric power systems. This paper presents a general procedure for constructing analytical energy functions for detailed lossless network-reduction power system stability models. This paper primarily (i) develops canonical representations for lossless network-reduction power system models and shows that such canonical representations cover existing stability models, (ii) derives theoretical results regarding the existence of analytical energy functions for the canonical representations, and (iii) presents a systematic procedure to construct corresponding energy functions.
