Dynamic Stability of Long Transmission Systems with Static Compensators and Synchronous Machines

Abstract

This paper deals with the dynamic stability of long distance a.c. transmission systems operating at above 1 surge impedance loading and compensated entirely by automatically controlled shunt inductance device referred to as Static Compensators. Generalised system equations in the form X = AX, with a careful choice of state variables are developed via the subsystem concept and the eigenvalue technique used to establish the stability limits. The static compensator and the excitation system control parameters are chosen in a coordinated manner from the stability limit plots, the extension of stability limits with a Static Compensator are quantised, later a second compensator is included for improving the system performance and interaction studies.
