Primary power grid frequency response characterization using phasor measurement unit data

A system, comprising:

• a memory to store computer-executable components;
• and a processor, coupled to the memory, that executes or facilitates execution of computer-executable components, the computer-executable components comprising:
• system response calculation logic configured to calculate a system response value in response to a change in power in a power grid, the system response value calculated based on measurement data obtained from power grid measurements and a power value representing the change in power, and the system response value used to obtain transfer function parameter values of a transfer function that that relates the change in power to a change in frequency;
• boundary region logic configured to establish a frequency response boundary region, for a frequency response of the power grid system, based on the measurement data;
• and
• transfer function parameter varying logic configured to vary one or more of the transfer function parameter values until the frequency response is within the boundary region.

A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed on a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• detecting a change in power in a power grid represented by a change in power value;
• establishing a boundary region for a frequency response of the power grid based on measurement data associated with the power grid and the change in power value;
• and
• varying a transfer function parameter of a transfer function until the frequency response is within the boundary region.
