A new method for transient stability analysis

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING IN JAPAN, Issue 3 2007
Naoto Yorino
Abstract This paper proposes a brand-new method for transient stability analysis in power systems. The proposed method directly computes the critical trajectory for a given contingency to obtain the critical condition of the studied system. Although the method may be useful for general nonlinear dynamic systems, it is applied to the problem of obtaining a controlling UEP, unstable equilibrium point, which provides inevitable information for the energy function methods to assess transient stability. Namely, the proposed method effectively yields a critical trajectory on PEBS together with the controlling UEP, thus improving the conventional BCU method. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated in 3-machine 9-bus and 6-machine 30-bus systems. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Methods for estimating stability regions with applications to power systems

EUROPEAN TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTRICAL POWER, Issue 2 2007
H. Xin
Abstract A specialized method for constructing a hyper-ellipse that resides inside the stability regions of a class of nonlinear autonomous systems such as electric power systems is provided. This method is further generalized to estimate the stability region of a fairly general class of high dimension nonlinear autonomous systems. Applications of the introduced results to power system transient stability analysis are described, together with numerical examples. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


Feedforward neural network-based transient stability analysis of electric power systems

EUROPEAN TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTRICAL POWER, Issue 6 2006
H. Hadj Abdallah
Abstract This paper presents a neural approach for the transient stability analysis of electric power systems (EPS). The transient stability of an EPS expresses the ability of the system to preserve synchronism after sudden severe disturbances. Its analysis needs the computation of the critical clearing time (CCT), which determines the security degree of the system. The classical methods for the determination of the CCT are computation time consuming and may be not treatable in real time. A feedforward neural network trained off-line using an historical database can approximate the simulation studies to give in real time an accurate estimate of the CCT. The identified neural network can be updated using new significant data to learn more disturbance cases. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the proposed method.

A study on the multiswing instability region using Hopf bifurcation theory considering energy threshold

IEEJ TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING, Issue 3 2006
Takao Tsuji Member
Abstract Transient stability is treated as one of the important constraints for calculating available transfer capability (ATC), especially in Japan. Therefore, to improve the time required for ATC calculation, development of high-speed transient stability analysis is required. For this analysis, a screening method that can recognize the serious case of fault will be greatly effective to solve the problem. Many screening methods on the first swing instability are proposed these days. However, a method based on multiswing instability has not been developed and its characteristic is not understood clearly. In this paper, the relationship between the nonlinear limit cycle and the energy function of a power system is examined using the Hopf bifurcation theory. A calculation method, which gives the critical transfer capability considering multiswing instability, is proposed. © 2006 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
