    The document discusses challenges facing today's power systems and potential solutions. It outlines issues like integrating renewable energy, retiring conventional sources, and rising demand. This impacts grid stability through overstressing infrastructure and causing transient instability during disturbances. Transient stability is analyzed using power angle curves. Loss of synchronism can lead to cascading failures and blackouts. Examples of major historical blackouts are provided. The document then discusses present solutions like Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) and effective data communication systems to improve stability. It provides the example of Karnataka state in India upgrading their communication technology.

    Stability
    Challenges in Today’s Power
    System and their Impact
    Traditional Power System

    Centralized electricity generation in relatively few locations,


    generated by large power plants that can be easily
    controlled as needed.

    Energy generally flows in one direction in the distribution


    network – from the sources of supply to the electricity
    customers.
    Shift from traditional Grid to Smart Grid
    Challenges of Today’s Evolving Electricity Grid
    Integration of Renewable Energy Sources into the
    Main Grid
    Renewable Energy Sources are located far away
    from load centres

    Conventional Energy Sources are getting retired

    Introduction of Power Electronics Converters in the


    Grid

    Increase in global demand of electricity


    Should I worry about this?
    Impact of these changes on Grid

    Overstressing of Existing Infrastructure


    Impact of these
    changes on Grid This is causing Grid stability Issues such as
    Transient Stability
    Voltage Stability
    Thermal Limits
    Impact of Transient Instability
    One measure of grid stability is its ability to remain in synchronism following major
    disturbances such as

    transmission system faults loss of generating units


    Major
    Disturbances

    sudden load changes line switching


    Objective of Transient Stability Study

    is to determine whether or not the rotors


    of the machines being perturbed return
    to constant speed operation.
    Power Angle Curve

    To understand the physical condition before, during and


    after the fault, power‐angle curve needs to be analyzed.
    Before Fault
    On Occurrence of fault
    After Fault is Cleared
    Blackouts

    Loss of synchronism leads to overloading


    of machines and finally leads to cascading
    failure thus causing Grid instability issues.

    Grid Instability due to loss of synchronism


    is one of the major cause of blackouts.
