Power System Stability
Definition (Ch.13)
The ability of a power system to reach a new
steady state or equilibrium after a
disturbance.
Interconnected synchronous generators
must settle to a common, constant speed
Voltages and power flow must settle to
reasonable values ( otherwise relays will
trip breakers)

Power System Stability
A disturbance, e.g., fault causes generator speeds,
system voltages and power flow to change over time

Can generator get back to constant --synchronous
speed?
Only if it can get rid of excess KE

Excess KE needs to go into the infinite bus through the
line?

Will it? What happens if it cant?

Stability means returning to synchronous speed

In a multi-machine system it means settling at a
common speed

Power System Stability
Manifestations Angle Stability

The process of power transfer across the line to get rid
of excess KE is inherently oscillatory

The infinite bus is trying to synchronize the
generator or bring it back into step

Stability requires synchronizing torque

In addition damping torque to make oscillation
decay this comes from the machine as well as from
control systems

Terminology

First Swing (Transient Stability)

Generator speeds swing around to common speed
(Better definition later..)Little or no control action from
exciters.. ~ 1 Second
Transient Stability
Multiple Swings 1-5 Sec; Field action most important
Mid-Term
Past 1 second control action is significant;Issue is oscillations
and damping. This term is not used as much any more
Long Term
Past 1 second and including all control action
Includes voltage stability effects
This has become the standard study

Power System Stability
Terminology

Rotor Angle Stability

Refers to conditions in which generator dynamics is
significant and voltages less important
Steady state Stability
Slow incremental changes that ultimately makes the
system unstable ( associated with maximum power transfer)
Small signal stability
Response to small changes that can be analyzed using linear
models.

Comment on Terminology

Its all one big ball of wax!

Distinctions are made for a number of reasons

Ease of analysis or computation

To emphasize/identify components and controls that have major
impact

A systems may be more prone to one type of stability than the other

Modern long-term stability simulations capture most of the effects

Summary Lecture 1
Many forms of instability

First Swing Transient Stability

Ability of system to reach a steady state condition after a disturbance with
machines running at common speed

Transient Stability

After disturbance machine speeds turn back to a common speed once

Key Aspect

Excess KE from accelarated machines should transfer through the network to decelerated
machines to restore speed

At D is decreasing but > 0
increases further say to point E
By now suppose is back to zero and decreasing
Thus becomes < 0 as the generator continues to slow
Since <0 decreases towards B First swing stable!
