Analysis of Transient Stability for Multimachine Power System

Abstract

The stability is an important guarantee for the safe and reliable operation of the power system, it is a decisive factor to limit the transmission distance and conveying capacity of the power system. Therefore, various measures must be taken to improve the system stability. The stability of the power system includes power angle stability, voltage stability and frequency stability. Among them, the power angle stability includes static stability and transient stability. Considering the importance of stability to the power system, the power system stability analysis methods and the measures to improve the power system stability is studied, so as to provide some useful reference for the safe and reliable operation of the power system. Generally, for multi-machine system transient stability becomes a major concern of wide power system due to load demand increasing day by day. In order to withstand disturbances with power quality issues requires evaluation of power system’s ability. There are many different kinds of methods for analysis of transient stability usually for multi-machine system. These methods include extended equal area criteria, time domain analysis and direct stability methods such as the transient energy function.
