It’s good to use Prony Analysis if your angle damping rate is difficult or impossible to read.
Some areas can have multiple generators swinging together with different damping rates and natural frequencies. The superposition of these swings can yield rotor angles that don’t resemble a damped sine wave. Prony is a method to decompose the angles into individual damped (ideally) waves with a damping rate for each each component.
