An SMIB model in the power systems, especially that
concering the effects of hard limits on bifurcations, chaos and
stability is studied. Parameter conditions for bifurcations and
chaos in the absence of hard limits are compared with those in the
presence of hard limits. It has been proved that hard limits can
affect system stability. We find that
(1) hard limits can change unstable equilibrium into stable one;
(2) hard limits can change stability of limit cycles induced by
Hopf bifurcation;
(3) persistence of hard limits can stabilize divergent trajectory
to a stable equilibrium or limit cycle;
(4) Hopf bifurcation occurs before SN bifurcation, so the system
collapse can be controlled before Hopf bifurcation occurs. We also
find that suitable limiting values of hard limits can enlarge the
feasibility region. These results are based on theoretical
analysis and
numerical simulations, such as condition for SNB and Hopf bifurcation, bifurcation diagram,
trajectories, Lyapunov exponent, Floquet multipliers, dimension of
attractor and so on.
