• WP1.1. Scoping and Literature review.
• WP1.2 Identification of Modal behaviours Utilising Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs)
• WP1.3 characterising the Modal behaviours and overall control space.
• WP2.1 Application of analysis techniques to detect the risk of onset of inter-area modes.
• WP2.2 Development & prototyping of an analysis tool to detect the risk of onset of inter-area modes
• WP 3.1 Control system design & review.
• WP 3.2 Assessment of possible control system approaches.
• WP 3.3 Identification of those techniques to be applied to the GB transmission system to enable the specification/identification of the right control approaches.

The intended outputs of this project would be:-

• Improved understanding of  inter-area mode phenomena
• Development of a method and analysis package capable of identification of existing low magnitude inter-area modes and providing early warning of the onset of their severity
• Appraisal and assessment of control options and the methodologies surrounding their application on the GB transmission system.
   

• The detection method identifies oscillatory events that are currently observed

• The analysis approach is able to highlight the risk of any inter-area modes developing

• The control strategy (or strategies) can be demonstrated to have the capability to successfully limit the observed oscillations and approaches to responding flexibly to new modes/ optimally setting the control system at the design side are identified.
