Abstract :
This paper describes the first algorithm to efficiently compute the dominant poles of any specified high order transfer function. As the method is closely related to Rayleigh iteration (generalized Rayleigh quotient), it retains the numerical properties of global and ultimately cubic convergence. The results presented are limited to the study of low frequency oscillations in electrical power systems, but the algorithm is completely general
