The growing penetration of power electronics and nonlinear loads in industrial electrical networks has increased the dynamic complexity of these systems, exceeding the analysis capabilities of traditional approaches based on quasi-stationary models. In this context, this paper presents a methodology for the dynamic characterization of an industrial electrical network based on high-resolution synchrophasor measurements obtained using a microPMU. The proposed approach is based on the identification of a linear dynamic model in state space using subspace techniques based on real data recorded during a short-duration transient event. The results show that the identified model is capable of adequately capturing local underdamped dynamics and reproducing the temporal response observed in the measurements. This evidences the presence of dynamic modes associated with the interaction between the network and power electronics-based devices. Similarly, the stability analysis of the identified model demonstrates its consistency and robust gains in temporal variations within the analysis window. Overall, the results confirm that the combination of microPMU and data-based modeling techniques is an effective tool for improving dynamic observability and understanding the transient behavior of industrial power grids, complementing classical analysis and simulation methods.
