EEU801 Power System Stability: Dr. Kawita D. Thakur Government College of Engineering, Amravati

The document discusses the concept of steady state stability in power systems. It illustrates the concept using a synchronous generator-motor system connected through a transmission line. It explains that the system will be stable as long as the derivative of active power (P) with respect to rotor angle (δ) remains positive. The steady state stability limit is reached when δ reaches π/2 radians. Methods to improve the steady state stability limit include using higher excitation voltages to increase the generator voltage (Eg) and reducing the transfer reactance between the generator and motor.

Steady State Stability Concept


Illustration of Steady State Stability Concept:
•Consider the synchronous generator-motor system as shown in
Figure 1
•The generator and motor have reactances Xg and Xm respectively.
•They are connected through a line of reactance Xe.
•The various voltages are indicated.
From figure 1,
P
•The graph of P versus δ is called power angle curve and is
shown in Figure 2.
•The system will be stable so long dP/dδ is positive.
•Theoretically, if the load power is increased in very small
increments from δ = 0 to δ = ∏/2, the system will be stable.
• At δ =∏/2,the steady state stability limit will be reached.
•Pmax is dependent on Eg, Em and X.
.
Methods for Improving Steady State Stability Limit:

1. Use of higher excitation voltages, thereby increasing the


value of Eg.

2. Reducing the reactance between the generator and the


motor.

The reactance X = Xg+ Xm + Xe is called the transfer


reactance between the two machines and this has to
be brought down to the possible extent.
