Having actual models for power system components (such as generators and loads or auxiliary equipment) is vital to correctly assess the power system operating state and to establish stability margins. However, power system operators often have limited information about the actual values for power system component parameters. Even when a model is available, its operating parameters and control settings are time-dependent and subject to real-time identification. Ideally, these parameters should be identified from measurement data, such as phasor measurement unit (PMU) signals. However, it is challenging to do this from the ambient measurements in the absence of transient dynamics since the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for such signals is not necessarily large. In this paper, we design a Bayesian framework for on-line identification of power system component parameters based on ambient PMU data, which has reliable performance for SNR as low as five and for certain parameters can give good estimations even for unit SNR. We support the framework with a robust and time-efficient numerical method. We illustrate the approach efficiency on a synchronous generator example.
