A knowledge of steady
state
stability
limit
is important for various reasons.
A
system can be
operated above its transient stability limit
but not above
its
steady-tatelimit.
Nowrwith increased fault el,earing
speedsjt is
possible
to
make the transient
limit closely approach the steady
state
limit.
As is clear
from Eq.
(12.51),
the methods of improving
steady state stability
limit
of a system
are to reduce X and increase either
or both
lEl
and I Vl.
If the
transmission
lines are of sufficiently high reactance,
the stability limit
can be
raised by using
two
parallel
lines
which
incidently also
increases the reliability
of the system. Series
capacitors are sometimes employed
in lines to
get
better
voltage
regulation and to raise the stability limit by
decreasing the line
reactance. Higher excitation
voltages and
quick
excitation
system are
also
employed
to improve the stability limit.

shown in Sec. L2.4 that the dynamics of
a single synchrono,rs
machine connected
to infinite bus bars is
governed
by the

As said earlier,
this equation is known as the
swing equation.
No closed
form
solution exists for swing
equation except
for the simple
case P-
=
0
(not
a
practical
case) which
involves elliptical
integrals. For
small
disturbance
(say,
gradual
loading), the equation
can
be
linearized
(see
Sec. 12.6) leading
to the
concept
of steady state stability where a unique
criterion of
stability
(APrlAd>0)
could be established. No
generalized
criteria
are available*
for
determining
system stability
with
large disturbances
(called
transient stability).
The
practical approach to the transient stability
problem
is
therefore to list
all
important severe
disturbances along with their
possible
locations
to
which
the
systern
is likely to be subjected according to the experience
and
judgement
of
the
power system analyst. Numerical
solution of the
swing equation
(or
equations
for a multimachine case) is then obtained in
the
presence
of
such
disturbances
giving
a
plot
of
d
vs. r called the
swing
curve. If d starts
to
decrease after
reaching a maximum value,
it is normally
assumed that
the
system
is
stable
and
the
oscillation of daround the equilibrium point
will
decay
tRecent
literature
gives
methods of determining transient
stability
through
Liapunov
and Popov's stability criteria, b:rt these have not
been
of
partical
use
so far.
