Question-1:
a) For a single machine infinite bus (SMIB) system considering system damping, draw
the block diagram of its linearized classical model. Write down the state equations
and the state matrix of this system. Define all the symbols used.
b) A SMIB system contains cylindrical rotor type 2000 MVA (4 x 500 MVA), 50 Hz.,
25kV generator, as finite machine, having Xd= 0.3 p.u. & H= 4MJ/MVA. Assume
the infinite bus voltage as 1.0 p.u., initial generator terminal voltage as 130 p.u.,
system impedance between generator terminal & the infinite bus as j0.5 p.u. and the
p.u. damping torque coefficient K
D
=-5. Find the eigenvalues of the state matrix,
system damping ratio, damped and undamped natural freq. of oscillations in Hz and
comment on the small signal stability of this system.
c) Discuss the functions and schematic block diagram of a power system stabilizer
(PSS). Why the speed deviation signal is used as feedback signal to PSS. From the
linearized detailed model of the SMIB system, how do we determine the effective
damping and synchronizing coefficients? In a multi-machine system, how will you
identify the generator most suitable for the placement of PSS?
d) Explain Induction Generator Effect and Torsional Interaction phenomena causing
Sub Synchronous Resonance (SSR) problem.

Question-2:
a) Derive the conditions for the reverse action of transformer OLTC (on load tap
changer) in a simple radial system. With the help of P-V curve, explain the impact of
load type on voltage stability.
b) A simple two bus radial system has a source bus having terminal voltage as 1
p.u. and the load bus having voltage V p.u. and a load of (P + jQ) p.u. connected
to it . The system impedance between the two buses is j0.25 p.u.. Assemble the
NRLF power flow Jacobian in polar coordinates. Using its singularity condition find
the expression for the critical voltage & maximum real power loading at the saddle
node bifurcation or critical static voltage stability point.

c) List out the advantages offered by the continuation power flow method over the
conventional NRLF method in assessing the voltage stability. Describe the procedure
to select the continuation parameter and the weakest bus in this method.
d) Discuss various practical measures to improve voltage stability.
