Power System Stability Power system stability is the ability of an electric power system, for a given initial operating condition, to regain a state of operating equilibrium after being subjected to a physical disturbance, with most system variables bounded so that practically the entire system remains intact.

1. Power System Stability
Power system stability is the ability of an electric power
system, for a given initial operating condition, to regain a
state of operating equilibrium after being subjected to a
physical disturbance, with most system variables bounded
so that practically the entire system remains intact.

3. POWER SYSTEM STABILIZERS
PSS are generator control equipments which are used
in feed back to enhance the damping of rotor
oscillation caused due to small signal disturbance.
This disturbance may be caused by the even small
change in the reference voltage of the automatic
voltage regulator/exciter which results in ever
increasing rotor oscillations.

4. This is achieved by modulating the generator
excitation so as to develop components of
electrical torque in phase with rotor speed
deviations. The PSS thus contributes to the
enhancement of small-signal stability of power
systems.

B. Frequency-Based ( ) Stabilizer
C. Power-

7. WORKING
under some conditions, such as much
impedance, heavy load need etc., the
additional torque 2 provided by the AVR lags
the negative feedback voltage by some angle.

8. The power system stabilizer, using the speed signal
( ) as input signal, will have a positive damping
torque component Mp2.
So, the synthesis torque with positive synchronous
torque and the damping torque can enhance the
capacity of the damping
oscillation.

DISADVANTAGES
Improved damping of the system
The dynamic stability of a system is improved.
Reduced power losses.
Time consuming tuning of PSS.
Non-optimal damping in the entire operating range.
