Power system is a kind of nonlinear dynamical system with multi-degree of freedom, strong coupling and multi-variable, which has rich dynamical behaviors. With the development of power grid system, grid interconnection has became a inevitable trend, and it can improve the quality of power. At the same time, it also provides convenience for the dispatching optimization of power system[1-3]. However, chaos often appears in the interconnected power system, it will bring great challenge to the stability of power system. For example, as the result of chaotic oscillations[4-6], several large area power outages appear in the United States, China and Canada in 1955. And it is difficult to suppress this phenomenon by using linear controller[7]. Therefore, it is necessary to study the mechanism of chaos in interconnected power systems and it is meaningful to design the nonlinear controller to suppress the chaos.
Due to the high nonlinear characteristics of the interconnected power system, its stability is very sensitive to outside disturbance. If the perturbation is too large, its operating point will change obviously. There are also some tools to analyze its stability which include geometric method, energy function, bifurcation theory and numerical simulation[8]. Recently, there are a lot of scholars to study the stability of power grid system. For example, Nayfeh [9] uses the multi-scale perturbation method to study the stability of single machine power system and the bifurcation analysis of a single machine infinite power system is investigated by Duan[10]. Because coupling power angle exists in the interconnected power system, the inherent dynamical behavior of interconnected power system will be more abundant. Through the detailed numerical simulation, the influence of the conventional non-linearity index on the dynamic characteristics of the interconnected power system is expounded[11].
In recent years, with the development of control method, the system is controlled from the single machine infinite system to multiple machine system, and the interconnected power system. In this paper, by proposing a fix-time non-singular terminal sliding mode control to realize stability when chaos occurred in interconnection power system. Some systems can be stabilized in a fixed time by using finite time control, this control method can be used in a lot of fields (for instance[12-13]). However, it is difficult to ensure the boundary convergence time when it is independent of the initial state. Therefore, in some practical system, it is not workable to use this control method when the initial condition is uncertain. Fortunately, this question was solved by Polyakov with the fixed-time stability theory[14]. Zuo[15] proposed a non-singular fixed-time terminal sliding mode controller for a class of second order nonlinear systems that can solve the singularity problem of terminal sliding mode controller in most instances. In this paper, by using the fast terminal sliding mode control can make the system convergence to steady state in finite time, the saturation function[16] and fast fixed time stability theory that can solve the singular problem through theoretical proof in this control method. This control method not only solve the singularity problem of the sliding mode controller, but the convergence speed is faster.
Motivated by the above analysis, this paper investigated the dynamical characteristics and control of interconnected power system. Section 2 introduces the dynamical characteristics of the interconnected power system, by introducing the maximum Lyapunov index, power spectrum, phase diagram and timing diagram, the paper decribe the dynamic of the interconnected power system. when the amplitude of electromagnetic disturbance is v=1.3, the system is in chaos. a non-sigular sliding mode variable structure control method has been introduced in Section 3 and the effectiveness of the control method can be obtained by theoretical analysis, the advantages of this method are verified, and the convergence time is calculated in Section 4. And Section 5 gives the conclusion of this paper.
There are two kinds of oscillation modes in interconnection power system, one is a single generator acts on other generators in the system with the frequency is between 0.5 and 2.0 Hz. The other oscillation mode is mainly expressed as a generator group in a region interacts with a generator group in another area, the frequency is between 0.1-1.0 Hz. This paper studies the interconnected power system model with two generators. Considering the influence of the amplitude of the electromagnetic disturbance power, the model is as follows:

The Lyapunov exponent is an important parameter of the system that can be used to measure and determine whether the dynamic system is in the chaos. When the maximum Lyapunov exponent of the dynamic system is greater than 0, it can be concluded that the system is in chaotic oscillation state.
The Lyapunov exponent
To study the chaotic behavior of a system, it is effective to use power spectrum analysis methods. Actually, power spectrum analysis is through the time and space translate to the frequency space for the signal frequency structure. When the chaos occurs in the system, the power spectrum of the system behaves as a continuous irregular distribution, for example in fig.2(c).

Similarly, the phase space map also is a tool to determine whether the system is in chaos.
