When a contingency occurs in a large transmission route in a power system, it can generate various instabilities that may lead to a power system blackout. In particular, transient instability in a power system needs to be immediately addressed, and preventive measures should be in place prior to fault occurrence. Measures to achieve transient stability include system reinforcement, power generation restriction, and generator tripping. Because the interpretation of transient stability is a time domain simulation, it is difficult to determine the efficacy of proposed countermeasures using only simple simulation results. Therefore, several methods to quantify transient stability have been introduced. Among them, the single machine equivalent (SIME) method based on the equal area criterion (EAC) can quantify the degree of instability by calculating the residual acceleration energy of a generator. However, method for generator tripping effect evaluation does not have been established. In this study, we propose a method to evaluate the effect of generator tripping on transient stability that is based on the SIME method. For this purpose, the measures that reflect generator tripping in the SIME calculation are reviewed. Simulation results obtained by applying the proposed method to the IEEE 39-bus system and KEPCO system are then presented.

This paper proposes the control strategy of the shunt Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices to improve transient stability in multimachine power system. The multimachine power system has high nonlinear response after severe disturbance. The concept of Lyapunov energy function is applied to derive nonlinear control strategy and it was found that the time derivative of line voltage is not only can apply to control the shunt FACTS devices in multimachine system but also is locally measurable signal. The fuzzy logic control is also applied to overcome the uncertainty of various disturbances in multimachine power system. This paper presents the method of investigating the effect of the shunt FACTS devices on transient stability improvement. The proposed control strategy and the method of simulation are tested on the new England power system. It was found that the shunt FACTS devices based on the proposed nonlinear control strategy can improve transient stability of multimachine power system.

Power system stability is correlated with system structure, disturbances and operating conditions, and power flows on transmission lines are closely related with those conditions. This paper proposes a methodology to identify correlative power flows for power system transient and small-signal stability prediction. In transient stability sense, the Critical Clearing Time is used to select some dominant contingencies, and Transient Stability Prediction index is proposed for the quantitative comparison. For small-signal stability, this paper discusses a methodology to identify crucial transmission lines for stability Prediction by introducing a sensitivity factor based on eigenvalue sensitivity technique. On-line monitoring of the selected lines enables to predict system stability in real-time. Also, a Procedure to make a priority list of monitored transmission lines is proposed. The procedure is applied to a test system and the KEPCO systems in the year of 2003 and it shows capabilities of the proposed method

Transient stability analysis of Yongwol-Bupyong power system, which contains Yongwol steam power station, the largest one in Korea, was undertaken by using the Yonsei 101 Analog computer. The critical switching time and phase angle for the present 150MW power flow to be stable were found. And the transient stability power limit for the system was also found. It is concluded that the system becoms unstable if the power flow increases much more than 151MW.

In order to overcome the problems of simulation methods, the power system transient stability assessment method using critical fault clearing time functions has been developed. Using the above method, this paper has developed the new method which can assess accurately and efficiently the effects of control and protection systems on transient stability which is the most important characteristic to assess in power systems. At first, critical fault clearing time functions CCT(W:load) are defined by taking notice of the fact that transient stability is mainly controlled by fault clearing time and load. Next, the method to be enable to assess accurately and efficiently the effects of control and protection systems on transient stability has been newly developed by using the above functions. Finally, it has been applied to the effect assessment in the occurrence of a three-phase fault in a model power system. Results of application have been clarified its effectiveness.

전력계통의 과도안정도를 향상시키기 위한 종래의 방법은 STATCOM(Static Synchronous Compensator), SVC(Static Var Compensator)와 같은 무효전력 보상장치를 이용하는 것이다. 하지만 무효전력 보상장치에 기반한 전통적인 방법은 대형 전동기의 트립에 의한 급격한 전압붕괴를 막을 수 없다. 반면에 에너지 저장시스템은 무효전력과 유효전력을 동시에 공급할 수 있다. 전력계통의 사고 시 유효전력의 빠른 공급은 과도안정도 향상에 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 대형 전동기부하와 같은 큰 동적부하를 가지는 전력계통에 대하여 에너지저장시스템을 사용한 과도 안정도 향상방법을 제시한다. 또한 유효전력과 무효전력을 보상하는 방법이 기존의 방법보다 더 효과적으로 과도 안정도를 향상시킴을 확인하였다.

전력계통의 과도안정도를 향상시키기 위해 종래에는 무효전력 보상장치를 설치하는 방법을 주로 사용하였다. 전통적인 무효전력 보상장치 중 SVC(Static Var Compensator), 변압기의 탭 변환기는 값이 싸고 기계적 스위칭으로 동작하여 속도가 느리다는 단점이 있고, 전력전자기술을 바탕으로 하는 STATCOM(Static Synchronous Compensator)은 고속으로 동작할 수 있는 장점이 있어 최근에 각광을 받고 있지만 고가의 장치라는 단점이 있다. 또한, 무효전력 보상장치에 기반한 전통적인 방법은 무효전력만을 공급하여 과도안정도를 향상시키기에 대형 전동기의 트립에 의한 급격한 전압붕괴를 막을 수 없다. 반면에 에너지 저장시스템은 무효전력과 유효전력을 동시에 공급할 수 있다. 즉, 선로사고로 인하여 부하에 유효전력의 공급이 감소하는 것을 ESS을 통한 유효전력을 공급함과 동시에 적절한 무효전력의 공급을 통하여 과도안정도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 전력계통의 사고 시 유효전력의 빠른 공급은 과도안정도 향상에 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 대형 전동기 부하와 같은 큰 동적부하를 가지는 전력계통에 대하여 에너지저장시스템을 사용한 과도안정도 향상방법을 제시한다. 또한, 유효전력과 무효전력을 보상하는 방법이 기존의 방법보다 더 효과적으로 과도안정도를 향상시킴을 확인하였다.

Solid-state fault current limiters (SSFCL) in power systems are alternative devices to limit prospective short circuit currents from reaching lower levels. Fault current limiters (FCL) can be classified into two categories: R-type (resistive) FCLs and L-type (inductive) FCLs. L-type FCL uses an inductor to limit fault level and is more efficient in suppressing voltage drop during a fault. In contrast, R-type FCL is constructed with a resistance and is more effective in consuming the acceleration energy of generators during a fault. Both functions enhance the transient stability of the power system. In the present paper, a novel SSFCL is proposed to enhance power system transient stability and power quality. The proposed SSFCL uses both functions of an L-type and R-type FCL. SSFCL consists of four diodes, one self-turn-off IGCT, a current-limiting by-pass inductor (L), and a variable resistance parallel with an inductor for improvement of power system stability and prevention of over-voltage across SSFCL. The main advantages of the proposed SSFCL are the simplicity of its structure and control, low steady-state impedance, fast response, and the existence of R-type and Ltype impedances during the fault, all of which improve power system stability and power quality. Simulations are accomplished in PSCAD/EMTDC.

This paper presents the new method of power system transient stability simulation, which combines the desirable features of both the time domain technique based on OOP(Object-oriented Programming) and the direct method of transient stability analysis using detailed generator model. OOP is an alternative to overcome the problems associated with the development, maintenance and update of large software by electrical utilities. Several papers have already evaluated this approach for power system applications in areas such as load flow, security assessment and graphical interface. This paper applied the object-oriented approach to the problem of power system dynamics simulation. The modeling method is that each block of dynamic system block diagram is implemented as an object and connected each other. In the transient energy method, the detailed synchronous generator model is so-called two-axis model. For the excitation model, IEEE type1 model is used. The developed mothed was successfully applied to New England Test System.
