Synchronous Operation:
Synchronous Operation of a Machine: A
machine is in synchronous operation with a
network or another machine(s) to which it is
connected if its average electrical speed
(product of its rotor angular velocity and the
number of pole pairs) equals the angular
frequency of the ac network or the electrical
speed of the other machine(s).
Synchronous Operation of a Power System: A
power system is in synchronous operation if all
its connected synchronous machines are in
synchronous operation with the ac network
and with each other.

Asynchronous or nonsynchronous operation:
Asynchronous Operation of a Machine: A machine
is in asynchronous operation with a network or another
machine to which it is connected if it is not in
synchronous operation.
Asynchronous Operation of a Power System: A
power system is in asynchronous operation if one or
more of its connected synchronous machines are in
asynchronous operation.

STEADY STATE STABILITY - Ability of Pow. Sys. to remain
stable after a small disturbance e.g load disturbance,
switching.
TRANSIENT STABILITY ability of Pow. Sys. to maintain
synchronism after a severe transient disturbance. E.g. Short

voltages at all buses in the system
after
being

to
a

Instability may result in the form of
a progressive fall or rise of
voltages of some buses.

The vertical segment bc is EA sin or XS IA cos
IA cos = EA sin / XS
Substituting this in equation of Pout
Pe = 3V EA sin / XS
since resistances assumed zero, losses not included in this
equation (& it is both Pconv ,Pout)
Above equation shows power produced by a Syn. Gen.

Transient Stability
Large-disturbance angle stability or transient stability is
concerned with the ability of the power system to maintain
synchronism when subjected to a severe disturbance, e.g. a
short circuit on a transmission line.
The resulting
system response involves large
excursions of generator rotor angles and is influenced by
the nonlinear power-angle relationship.
Transient stability depends on both the initial operating
state of the system and the severity of the
disturbance.
43
Dynamic Stability
The term dynamic stability also appears in the literature
as a class of rotor angle stability.
In the North American literature, it has been used
mostly to denote small signal stability.
In the European literature, it has been used to denote
transient stability.
IEEE have recommended that it should not be used.

Voltage Stability
Voltage stability refers to the ability of a power system to
maintain steady voltages at all buses in the system after being
subjected to a disturbance from a given initial operating
condition.
It depends on the ability to maintain/restore equilibrium
between load demand and supply
In order words, it depends on the ability to maintain bus
voltages so that when the system nominal load at a bus is
increased, the real power transferred to that load will
increase.

Trends
Fewer HV transmission lines built due to cost and
environmental concerns
Heavier use of some power plants away from load centers
due to conservation of oil and natural gas
Heavier loading of HV transmission due to growing electricity
markets under the open transmission access environment
Generation trends have become more stability-conscious
Lower inertia
Higher short circuit ratio
More dependence on controls (e.g. excitation control)
Large concentration of generation
