Power System Stablity

Introduction Power System Stabilityy y__
• The tendency of a power system to develop restoring forces equal to
or greater than the disturbing forces to maintain the state ofg g
equilibrium is know as stability.
• If the forces tending to hold machines in synchronism with one
another are sufficient to overcome the disturbing forces, the systemg , y
is said to remain stable.
• Stability Studies:
– TransientTransient
– Dynamic
– Steady‐state
• The main purpose of transient stability studies is to determineThe main purpose of transient stability studies is to determine
whether a system will remain in synchronism following major
disturbances such as transmission system faults, sudden load
changes, loss of generating units, or line switching.

• Transient Stability Problems:
– First‐swing; short study period after disturbance, based on a reasonableFirst swing; short study period after disturbance, based on a reasonable
simple generator model, without control system.
– Multi‐swing; longer study period of time after disturbance, thus consider the
effect of generator control systems.
• In all stability studies, the objective is to determine whether or not the
rotors of the machines being perturbed return to constant speed
operation.
• To simplify calculation, the following assumptions must be made:
– Only synchronous frequency currents and voltages are considered in the
stator windings and the power system. Consequently dc offset currents and
harmonic components are neglectedharmonic components are neglected.
– Symmetrical components are used in the representation of unbalanced
faults.
– Generated voltage is considered unaffected by machine speed variation.Generated voltage is considered unaffected by machine speed variation.

Further Considerations of the swing equationg q
• In a stability study of a power system with many synchronous
machines only one MVA base common to all parts of themachines, only one MVA base common to all parts of the
system can be chosen.
• Thus, H constant for each machine must be converted into per
unit base on common MVA base;

• In a stability study for a large system with many machines
geographically dispersed over a wide area it is desirable togeographically dispersed over a wide area, it is desirable to
minimize the number of swing equations to be solved.
• This can be done if the transmission line fault, or other
disturbance on the system, affects the machines within the
plant so that their rotors swing together.
• Thus the machine within the plant can be combined into a• Thus, the machine within the plant can be combined into a
single equivalent machine just as if their rotors were
mechanically coupled and only one swing equation need to be
written for them.

prime mover P is assumed constantprime mover Pm is assumed constant.
• Thus, the Pe will determine whether the rotor accelerates,Thus, the Pe will determine whether the rotor accelerates,
decelerates, or remains at synchronous speed.
• Changes in Pe are determined by conditions on the transmission
and distribution networks and the loads on the system to which

• Each synchronous machine is represented for transient stability
studies by its transient internal voltage E’ in series with the transienty g
reactance X’d as shown in the Figure below.
• Armature resistance is negligible so that the phasor diagram is as
shown in the figure.g
• Since each machine must be considered relative to the system, the
phasor angles of the machine quantities are measured with respect

Thus, the effective transmission system is unaltered except while the fault is on.
The short‐circuit caused by the fault is effectively at the bus and so theThe short circuit caused by the fault is effectively at the bus and so the
electrical power output from the generator becomes zero until fault is clear.

three‐phase fault

To understand the physical condition before, during and after the fault,
power‐angle curve need to be analyzed.
Initially, generator operates at synchronous speed with rotor angle of
and the input mechanical power equals the output electrical power Pe.

Equal‐area criterion states that whatever kinetic energy is added to the
rotor following a fault must be removed after the fault to restore the rotor
to synchronous speedto synchronous speed.
The shaded area A1 is dependent upon the time taken to
clear the fault.
If the clearing has a delay, the angle increase.
As a result, the area A2 will also increase. If the increase

Further Application of the Equal‐Area Criterion
• Equal‐Area Criterion can only be applied for
the case of two machines or one machine
and infinite busand infinite bus.
• When a generator is supplying power to an
infinite bus over two parallel lines, opening
one of the lines may cause the generator to
lose synchronismlose synchronism.
• If a three phase fault occurs on the bus on
which two parallel lines are connected, no
power can be transmitted over either the
lineline.
• If the fault is at the end of one of the lines, CB will operate and power can
flow through another line.
• In this condition, there is some impedance between the parallel buses and
the fault. Thus, some power is transmitted during the fault.
58

STEP‐BY‐STEP SOLUTION OF SWING CURVE____
For large systems we depend on the digital computer to determine δ versus t
for all the machines in which we are interested; and δ can be plotted versus tfor all the machines in which we are interested; and δ can be plotted versus t
for a machines to obtain the swing curve of that machine.
The angle δ is calculated as a function of time over a period long enough tog p g g
determine whether δ will increase without limit or reach a maximum and
start to decrease.
Although the latter result usually indicates stability, on an actual system
where a number of variable are taken into account it may be necessary to plot
δ versus t over a long enough interval to be sure δ will not increase again
ith t t i t l lwithout returning to a low value.
61

By determining swing curves for various clearing times the length of time
permitted before clearing a fault can be determined.
Standard interrupting times for circuit breakers and their associated relays
are commonly 8, 5, 3 or 2 cycles after a fault occurs, and thus breaker
speeds may be specified.
Calculations should be made for a fault in the position which will allow the
least transfer of power from the machine and for the most severe type of
fault for which protection against loss of stability is justified.
A number of different methods are available for the numerical evaluation
of second order differential equations in step by step computations forof second‐order differential equations in step‐by‐step computations for
small increments of the independent variable.

62
The more elaborate methods are practical only when the computations are
performed on a digital computer. The step‐by‐step method used for hand
calculation is necessarily simpler than some of the methods recommended
for digital computers.

In the method for hand calculation the change in the angular position of the
rotor during a short interval of time is computed by making the following
assumptions:assumptions:
•The accelerating power Pa computed at the beginning of an interval is
constant from the middle of the preceding interval to the middle of theconstant from the middle of the preceding interval to the middle of the
interval considered.
•The angular velocity is constant throughout any interval at the valueg y g y
computed for the idle of the interval.
**neither of the assumptions is true, since δ is changing continuously and both Pa
and ω are functions of δ.
63
As the time interval is decreased, the computed swing curve approaches the true
curve.

and
Figure 14.4 will help in visualizing the assumptions.
The accelerating power is computed for the pointsThe accelerating power is computed for the points
enclosed in circles at the ends of the n-2, n-1, and n
intervals, which are the beginnings of the n-1, n and
n+1 interval.
The step curve of Pa in Fig. 14.4 results from the
assumption that Pa is constant between midpoints of
the intervals.
Similarly, ωr, the excess of the angular velocity ω
over the synchronous angular velocity ωs, is shown
as a step curve that is constant throughout the
interval at the value computed for the midpoint.e v e v ue co pu ed o e dpo .
Between the ordinates (n-3/2) and (n-1/2) there
64
Between the ordinates (n 3/2) and (n 1/2) there
is a change of speed caused by the constant
accelerating power.

Equation (4) is the important for the step-by-step solution of the swing equation with the necessary
assumption enumerated, for it shows how to calculate the change in δ for the previous interval and
the accelerating power for the interval in equation are known.
Equation (4) shows that (subject to the stated assumptions), the change in torque angle during a
given interval is equal to the change in torque angle during the preceding interval plus the
accelerating power at the beginning of the interval times k.
The accelerating power is calculated at the beginning of each new interval. The solution progresses
through enough intervals to obtain points for plotting the swing curve.
Greater accuracy is obtained when the duration of the interval is small. An interval of 0.05s isy
usually satisfactory.
The occurrence of a fault causes a discontinuity in the accelerating power Pa which is zero before
the fault and a definite amount immediately following the fault.y g
The discontinuity occurs at the beginning of the interval, when t=0. Reference to Fig. 14.14 shows
that our method of calculation assumes that the accelerating power computed at the beginning of an
interval considered.
67
When the fault occurs, we have two values of Pa at the beginning of the interval, and we must take
the average of these two values as our constant accelerating power.
