STABILITY ANALYSIS BY
NEURAL NETWORKS
The transient stability analysis is one of the main studies carried out in
EPS (Electric Power Systems). This analysis can be carried out, e.g. by
simulation (numerical solution of nonlinear differential equations that
describe the system dynamic).
An alternative procedure consist of obtaining the analysis without
solving such differential equations, as it is the case of LDM
(Lyapunov Direct Method). Aiming to analyze a great number of
contingencies the simulation as well the LDM are procedures that
present yet computational cost little compatible with the real time
applications.
This work aims to investigate the use of artificial neural network in the
diagnosis of transient stability of EPS, having as its main objective the
computational cost reduction.
Introduction
Now-a-days, it has become a necessity to maintain synchronism because
the system is expanding day-by-day and these results in installation of larger
machines. Due to this, transient disturbances are increasing continuously in
power system. The transient disturbances are caused by the changes in the
load, switching operations, faults and loss excitations. Thus, it is very
important to regain synchronism or equilibrium after disturbances in the
electrical utilities. Hence, thorough analysis of transient stability is required
to reduce problems such as blackouts, loss of synchronism, etc.

M = angular momentum of the rotor
Ps = mechanical power input
PE = Pmax sin = electrical power output
Pa = Ps - PE = accelerating power
Transient stability solution methods
There are two methods for solving the transient stability problem
1. Numerical integration
This is by far the most common technique, particularly for the large systems,
during the fault and after the fault the power system differential equations are
solved using numerical methods.
2. Direct or energy methods
These are the direct methods to determine transient stability using energy
functions. These include Lyapunov’s Direct Method, Potential Energy Boundary
Surface Method (PEBS) etc.
Mostly used to provide an intuitive insight into the transient stability problem.
