Time Delay in the Swing Equation: A Variety of Bifurcations Time Delay in the Swing Equation: A Variety of Bifurcations T. H. Scholl,1, a) L. Gröll,1, b) and V. Hagenmeyer1, c) Institute for Automation and Applied Informatics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, 76344 Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, Germany (Dated: 2019) The present paper addresses the swing equation with additional delayed damping as an example for pendulum-like systems. In this context, it is proved that recurring sub- and supercritical Hopf bifurcations occur if time delay is increased. To this end, a general formula for the first Lyapunov coefficient in second order systems with additional delayed damping and delay-free nonlinearity is given. In so far the paper extends results about stability switching of equilibria in linear time delay systems from Cooke and Grossman. In addition to the analytical results, periodic solutions are numerically dealt with. The numerical results demonstrate how a variety of qualitative behaviors is generated in the simple swing equation by only introducing time delay in a damping term.

The swing equation is, e.g., at the core of any power system model. By delayed frequency control it becomes a pen- dulum equation with delayed damping - a system which is shown to exhibit highly complex dynamics. Repeating Hopf bifurcations lead again and again to the emergence of limit cycles as delay is increased. These limit cycles un- dergo further bifurcations including period doubling cas- cades and the birth of invariant tori.

I. INTRODUCTION

Second order ordinary differential equations with periodic nonlinearity describe various non-related systems such as syn- chronous generators or single-machine-infinite-bus (SMIB) equivalents of power systems, Josephson junction circuits, phase-locked loops or mechanical pendulum mechanisms1. Consider the scalar equation FIG. 1. Phase portrait of the delay-free dynamics (parameterization (11), τ = 0), i.e. damping coefficient a + a˜. y¨+ ay˙+ ks sin(y) = u (1) with an external input u.

However, due to measurement, commu- nication, data processing, or response behavior of actuators, Therefore, the present paper examines how the delay this controller action is more or less delayed. Consequently, changes the overall system dynamics and gives the respective damping with delay τ > 0 arises in results (throughout the paper, the term increase denotes not a time-varying sense but addresses another autonomous system arXiv:1908.07996v3 [math.DS] 8 Dec 2019 y¨(t) + ay˙(t) + a˜y˙(t − τ) + ks sin(y(t)) = w, (2) with changed parametrization). Dynamics of the delay-free 2 swing equation, or equivalently the driven pendulum equation a,a˜,ks,w > 0. Schaefer et al. show that these dynamics with constant torque, is well known3–7 (Figure 1).

However, obviously it cannot give rise to a limit cycle (which requires the closed or- bit to be isolated). However, not only whether the Lyapunov coefficient is zero is of interest. The sign of the Lyapunov coefficient is responsible for the type of the Hopf bifurcation.

B. Numeric Approximations of Emerging Limit Cycles

A numerical analysis does not only determine normal form coefficients and thus the type of bifurcation. It also allows to track limit cycles which emerge from Hopf bifurcations and to approximate the corresponding periodic solution. The MATLAB Toolbox DDE-BIFTOOL35 is a valuable tool for this purpose. Figure 4 visualizes our results.

The colored surface in Figure 4 describes the equilibrium (a) manifold in the (τ,w,x1) space. Assume parameter values τ and w are given, then the x1 coordinates of equilibria can be read off. Stability ranges, which are indicated by color, are due to analytic results (Proposition II.1). The upper equilibrium branch is delay independently unstable (one unstable eigenvalue), while the lower branch switches its stability property with increasing delay. For w > 1 no equilibrium exists. Not only in the delay-free system, but also for τ > 0, the upper and lower equilibrium branch collide in a (b) detail fold bifurcation at w = 1. We consider an equilibrium branch > > along [τ,w,x1] = [τ,0.125,0] with increasing τ-values. At FIG. 3.

FIG. 4. The bended surface corresponds to y = ye + x1 coordinates of equilibria over the (τ,w) parameter plane. Thereby, colors indicate the number of unstable eigenvalues. Additionally, for fixed parameter values w ∈ {0.125,0.8}, bold, striped horizontal lines are drawn along the lower equilibrium surface (the first one corresponds to Figure 2 (a) and can also be found in Figure 3). They emphasize that the number of unstable eigenvalues changes with increasing delay. Where Hopf bifurcations occur along such lines, limit cycles emerge. On the vertical, white (τ,y) planes, maximal and minimal x1 coordinates of these limit cycle solutions are given. Line colors are chosen according to the number of unstable Floquet-Multipliers.

The following well known types and existence of a limit cycle locally in a small one-sided of limit cycle bifurcations have been detected in the delayed neighborhood of the bifurcation point.

While in a Hopf bifurcation of an equi- librium a limit cycle evolves which encircles the equi- librium, by a Neimark-Sacker bifurcation an invariant torus around the limit cycle might result.

IV. CONCLUSIONS

When time delay is increased, linear second order systems with additional delayed damping or restoring force are able to show again and again characteristic roots crossing the imagi- nary axis. In nonlinearily perturbed systems each crossing is a candidate for a Hopf bifurcation point, which is further char- acterized by the sign of the first Lyapunov coefficient. The present paper gives a formula of the latter for general second order differential equations with additional delayed damping FIG. 5. For a given delay value τ, a vertical slice shows the ap- and arbitrary, delay-free nonlinearity. The result is applied to the delayed swing equation.
