Abstract
This talk concerns about developing physically interpretable algorithms for large dynamical systems such as the power grid. The problem of source localization is formulated as one of identifying the sparse component in robust principal component analysis. The physical interpretation of the effectiveness of the proposed robust PCA algorithm is provided by examining the underlying low rank property of the resonance component. Real-world examples are tested in the context of power systems with high renewable energy penetration.
