Power System Transient Stability

Resource Overview

A power system transient stability analysis program capable of performing transient stability calculations, implementing numerical integration methods and dynamic system modeling

Detailed Documentation

The power system transient stability program is designed for performing transient stability calculations. Transient stability refers to a power system's ability to return to a new stable operating state after being subjected to disturbances, following a transitional period. During transient stability analysis, various system parameters undergo significant changes, including voltage fluctuations, current variations, and frequency deviations. Therefore, transient stability calculations require high precision and sophisticated numerical methods.

The program typically implements numerical integration techniques such as the Runge-Kutta method or implicit trapezoidal rule to solve differential-algebraic equations representing power system dynamics. Key functions include generator modeling with swing equations, excitation system simulation, and network admittance matrix formulation. The algorithm handles large disturbances like fault scenarios through time-domain simulations, evaluating rotor angle stability and critical clearing times to ensure power system security and stable operation.
