Abstract: The characteristics of oscillation modes, such as interarea, regional, and subsynchronous modes, can vary during a power system fault, which can cause switching and control actions in the power system. Transient data of the modal response due to such a fault can be acquired through phasor measurement units (PMUs). When the transient data have a long duration, it is desirable to perform modal identification separately on each segment of the transient data, so as to reflect the varying characteristics of oscillation modes. A conventional discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based method for parametric modal identification cannot be efficiently applied to such a segment dataset. In this paper, a DFT-based method with an exponential window function is proposed to identify oscillation modes from each segment of transient data in PMUs. This window function allows the application of the least squares method (LSM) for modal identification in the same manner as the conventional method. The accuracy of identification of the proposed method is compared with those of the conventional method and a Prony method through synthetic data of transient responses. Its feasibility is also verified by identifying real-world oscillation modes from transient data in PMUs.
