A power system is made up of synchronous machines that work in unison. In order to ensure the continuity of the power system, they must maintain perfect synchronism under all steady-state conditions. When a disturbance occurs in the system, the system generates a force that causes it to return to normal or stable operation.The power system is the most important component of power transmission, and it is subject to numerous disturbances. When this system is disrupted, it must be able to return to its original state, and this ability is referred to as the power system’s stability. System disturbances can be of various types, such as sudden changes in load, a sudden short circuit between line and ground, a line-to-line fault, all three line faults, switching, and so on. If the electric power system is unable to return to its previous state, it will cause a slew of power issues. Instabilities are caused by a lack of synchronization. The system integrity can be preserved when the entire power system remains intact with no tripping, except for those that are tripped to protect the power system due to the faulted elements.In power plants, several synchronous generators are connected to a bus that has the same frequency and phase sequence as the generators. Therefore, for a stable operation, the generators must be synchronized with the bus during generation and transmission. As a result, power system stability is also known as synchronous stability, and it is defined as the system’s ability to return to synchronism after experiencing a disturbance such as switching on and off of load or line transience.Another factor that must be considered in order to fully comprehend stability is the system’s stability limit. The stability limit specifies the maximum power that can flow through a specific part of the system that is subject to line disturbances or faulty power flow. We’ve covered the terminology associated with power system stability, so let’s look at the different types of stability.
