Power system stability
Generator output power when connected to the infinite bus
• Consider a generator connected to the infinite bus through a transmission line of reactance Xt. • The direct axis synchronous reactance of the generator is Xd.
• E= 𝐸 ∠δ° , the generated voltage. It is also called the voltage behind
the synchronous reactance of the generator. • V= 𝑉 ∠ 0° , is the voltage at the infinite bus. Output power of a Generator • An infinite bus is nothing but a large interconnected power system having constant voltage and constant frequency. • The complex power output of the generator = VI* 𝐸∠𝛿−𝑉∠0 𝐸∠𝛿−𝑉∠0 • Current I= = where, X=Xd + Xt 𝑗(𝑥𝑑 +𝑥𝑡 ) 𝑗(𝑋)
𝐸∠−𝛿−𝑉∠0 𝐸 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝛿 −𝑗𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛿 −𝑉 𝐸 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝛿 −𝑗𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛿 −𝑉 𝑗
• So, I*= = = −𝑗(𝑋) −𝑗𝑋 (−𝑗𝑋)𝑗
𝐸𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛿+𝑗(𝐸𝑐𝑜𝑠𝛿−𝑉) • I*= 𝑋 Output power of a Generator • The complex power output of the generator is S=Pe +jQe = VI*
S= V = sinδ +j
• Equating the real and imaginary parts,
𝐸𝑉 • The real power output of the generator Pe = sinδ 𝑋
• The reactive power output of the generator Qe = cosδ -
Power Angle curve • Thus, the real power output of the generator 𝐸𝑉 Pe = sinδ 𝑋 Power transferred will be maximum when δ=90. 𝐸𝑉 ∴ Pmax = and Pe = Pmax sinδ 𝑋 Pe = Pmax sinδ when plotted gives us the power angle curve Power angle curve for a Generator/motor • In the first quadrant, δ is positive. For a generator emf equation is Eg=V+IaRa . So, the power angle curve for a Generator is always drawn in the first quadrant. • For a motor, emf equation is V= Eb +IaRa . So, δ is negative for a motor. • So, the power angle curve for a motor is always drawn in the third quadrant.
