    Abstract

    In this paper we report on the preliminary results of a collaborative investigation effort between researchers in North America and Europe aiming to baseline the electromechanical modes and mode shapes of the Nordic system from synchronized phasor measurement data. We provide an overview on the Danish power grid and its interconnections, and describe the features of an experimental phasor measurement unit designed by DTU which is used to provide the measurements used in this investigation. Parametric and non-parametric block processing techniques are applied to 48 hours of ambient data recorded at the Radsted and Hovegård substations in Eastern Denmark. The estimated modes are in agreement with those shown in eigenanalysis studies, and other measurement-based investigations. More importantly, the emergence of a new 0.8 Hz mode in Sjælland is reported.
