Stability
Stability is concerned with the behaviour of power system when it is subjected to the
disturbances. If the disturbances are small it results into small signal stability problem.
Small Signal Stability
When a power system is under steady state, normal operating condition, the system may
be subjected to small disturbances such as variation in load and generation, change in
field voltage, change in mechanical torque etc. The nature of system response to small
disturbances depends on the operating condition, the transmission system strength, types
of controllers etc. Instability that may result from small disturbances may be of two forms
(i) Steady increase in rotor angle due to lack of synchronizing torque
(ii) Rotor oscillations of increasing magnitude due to lack of sufficient damping torque.
Fig. shows the instability of a synchronous machine through oscillations of increasing
amplitude.

EE18611-Power System Simulation Laboratory
FORMULA
Modelling for Small Signal Stability
The electrical power output of the generator in p.u. is
Transient Stability
When a power system is under steady state, the load plus transmission loss equals to the
generation in the system. The generating units run at synchronous speed and system
frequency, voltage, current and power flows are steady. When a large disturbance such as
three phase fault, loss of load occurs the power balance is upset and the generating units
rotors experience either acceleration or deceleration. The system may come back to a steady
state condition maintaining synchronism. Then the system is in stable condition.
35
EE18611-Power System Simulation Laboratory
Transient stability analysis is essential both for power system planning and operation. The
ability of the generators to remain in synchronism under conceivable disturbance scenario
must be assessed. Also, transient stability simulations are essential for proper design of
protection system. This calls for accurate modeling of the components such as generators and
their control systems, static VAR compensators etc., involved in the dynamics triggered by a
disturbance. The machines and their control systems are characterized by differential
equation while the transmission system is represented by algebraic equations.
FORMULA
Mathematical Modelling for Transient Stability
Consider a single machine connected to an infinite bus shown in fig. An infinite
bus is a source of invariable frequency and voltage.
Swing Equation
The fundamental equation of motion of the rotor of the synchronous machine is given by
Stability Margin in MW
Consider that the machine connected to infinite bus delivers Po MW and a fault is specified
at the end of line no. 1 with a clearing time tc = 0.3 seconds.
Suppose the MW output of the machine is increased in steps and stability is checked for each
step of load with the same clearing time and fault, then the system becomes just stable at a
loading say Pm and a small increase in load beyond Pm causes instability; then the
MW stability margin is defined as Ps = Pm - Po

Electromagnetic Transients Analysis
Intentional and inadvertent switching operations in EHV systems initiate over voltages,
which might attain dangerous values resulting in destruction of apparatus. Accurate
computation of these over voltages is essential for proper sizing, coordination of
insulation of various equipment’s and specification of protective devices. Meaningful design
of EHV systems is dependent on modelling philosophy built into a computer program.

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
Active power control is one of the important control actions to be performed during
normal operation of the system to match the system generation with the continuously
changing system load in order to maintain the constancy of system frequency to a fine
tolerance level. This is one of the foremost requirements in providing quality power supply.
A change in system load causes a change in the speed of all rotating masses (Turbine –
generator rotor systems) of the system leading to change in system frequency. The speed
change from synchronous speed initiates the governor control (Primary control) action
resulting in all the participating generator – turbine units taking up the change in load,
stabilizing the system frequency. Restoration of frequency to nominal value requires
secondary control action which adjusts the load-reference set points of selected
(regulating) generator – turbine units. The primary objectives of automatic generation
control (AGC) are to regulate system frequency to the set nominal value and also to regulate
the net interchange of each area to the scheduled value by adjusting the outputs of
the regulating units. This function is referred to as load – frequency control (LFC).
Load-Frequency Control in an Interconnected Power System
An interconnected power system is divided into a number of “control areas” for the purpose
of load- frequency control. When subjected to disturbances, say, a small load change,
all generator – turbine units in a control area swing together with the other groups of
generator – turbine units in other areas.

1. It is proposed to simulate using the software available the load-frequency dynamics of
a single-area power system whose data are given below:

Normal operating load = 1000 MW
Nominal frequency = 50 Hz
Inertia constant of the area = 5.0 s
Speed regulation (governor droop)
of all regulating generators = 4 percent
Governor time constant = 0.08 s
Turbine time constant = 0.3 s

increases by one percent if the system frequency increases by one percent.

load increase of 20 MW.

following:
(i) Steady – state frequency deviation fs in Hz. Compare it with the hand-calculated
value using “Area Frequency Response Coefficient” (AFRC).

power PT in p.u MW upto 20 sec. What is value of the peak overshoot in f?
(b) Repeat the simulation with the following changes in operating condition, plot the time
response of f and compare the steady-state error and peak overshoot.

Aim:
To run the Matlab program for optimum commitment of generators by using priority
list schemes approach and dynamic programming methods.
Software Required:
MATLAB
Theory:
In Power System the total generation on the system will generally be higher than total
load on the system. The total load on the system will generally be higher during the day time
and early evening and lower during the early morning and late evening.
It is not economical to run all the unit available all the time. So the commitment of a
generating unit is difficult. The cost of the system can be saved by turning off generator
whey they are not needed.
The operation of thermal unit involves both fuel and maintenance cost but no fuel cost is
required for hydro plant.
Thermal unit includes 1. Steam plants, 2. Nuclear plant, 3. Diesel and gas turbine plant
The nuclear and steam plant are used as base loads and the remaining diesel and gas turbine
plants are used as peak loads.
To select the generating unit that will supply the forecasted (estimated load in advance) load
of the system over a required period of time at minimum cost as well as provide a specified
margin of the operating reserve known as spinning reserve.
54
EE18611-Power System Simulation Laboratory
The expected system demand level for the 24 hours of tomorrow and the operating
cost, startup cost and shut down cost of the available N units.
Each individual power system may impose different rules on the scheduling of unit
depends on generation makeup and load curve characteristics.
Spinning Reserves:
Spinning reserves is the total amount of generation available from all units
synchronize on the system minus the present load and losses being supplied.
Spinning reserves must be established, so that thelosses of one or more unit does not
cause drop in system frequency. Spinning reserve is the reserve generating capacity running
at zero load or no load
Reserve Capacity:
The amounts of power that can be produced at a given point in time by generating
units that are kept available in case of special need. This capacity may be used when
unusually high power demand occurs or when other generating unit are off line for
maintenance, repairs or refuelling.
Reserve Margin:
The percentage of initialled capacity exceeding the expected peak demand during a
specified period.
55
EE18611-Power System Simulation Laboratory
A thermal unit can withstand only gradual temperature changes and is required to
take some hours to bring the unit online.
Minimum up time
Once the unit is decommitted, there is a minimum time before it can be recommitted.
Crew constraints:
If a plant consists of two or more units they cannot both be turned on at the same time. Since
there are not enough crew member to attend both unit while starting up.
Startup Cost
It dependent upon the down time of the unit. i.e., the time interval between shut down
and restart.
During down time period, the unit’s boiler to cool down and heat back up to operating
temperature in time for a scheduled turn on.
56
EE18611-Power System Simulation Laboratory
When shut down cost is incurred, the unit may be said to be in not hot reserve.
Other Constraints:
Unit commitment problem involves only thermal unit. In hydro scheduling to allocate
maximum hydro unit during rainy seasons and to allocate thermal unit during remaining
period.
We are not considering hydro unit for unit commitment because start up and shut
down time, operating cost are negligible so we could not get the optimal solution.
Some unit like nuclear unit are given a must run status during certain times of the
year to maintain the voltage in transmission system.
Fuel Constraints:
If thermal and hydro sources are available a combined operator is economic and
advantages to minimize the fuel cost of thermal unit over a commitment period.
Priority list method is the simplest unit commitment solution method which consists
of creating a priority list of units. The priority list can be obtained by the fuel load average
production cost of each unit.
Full load average production cost = {Net heat rate of full load} x Fuel cost
