INTRODUCTION

Stability of power systems continues to be of a major concern in system operation [1]. This arises from the fact that in steady state, the average electrical speed of all the generators must remain the same anywhere in the system. This is termed as the synchronous operation of a system. Any disturbance small or large can affect the synchronous operation [2]. The stability of a system determines whether the system can settle down to a new or original steady state after the transient disappears. Although stability is an integral property of the system, for the purpose of analysis, it is divided into two classes, viz., Steady-State or Small Signal Stability and Transient Stability [3]. A power system is steady state stable for a particular steady state operating condition if, following any small disturbance, it reaches a steady state operating condition which is identical or close to the pre-disturbance operating condition. A small disturbance is the one for which system dynamics can be analyzed from linearized equations. The small (random) changes in the load or generation belong to the class of small disturbances. A power system is transiently stable for a particular steadystate operating condition and for a particular large disturbance or sequence of disturbances if, following that disturbance(s), it reaches an acceptable steady-state operating condition. Faults like three phase short circuits, resulting in sudden voltage dip are large disturbances and require remedial action in the form of clearing of fault. It is important to note that, steady-state stability is a function of only the operating condition, whereas transient stability is a function of both the operating condition and the disturbance(s). This complicates the analysis of transient stability considerably. Transient Stability requires repeated analysis for different disturbances that are being considered. Transient stability analysis in a power system is concerned with the power system's ability to remain synchronously stable following a serious disturbance such as a three-phase short-circuit. Present day transient stability analysis of power system is mainly performed by simulations. Calculation of critical clearing time (CCT) for a fault is a major assessment in stability studies. This paper presents the mathematical formulation of different models of synchronous machine used in the transient stability simulation. Synchronous machines are, in general, expressed by d, q axis Park model in the simulations [4]. There are several types of approximated models. In this paper, we have considered the simple

classical model and four detailed models of machine representation. The detailed model includes Model 1.0 (Flux-Decay Model) having no damper circuit, Model 1.1 (Two-Axis Model) with one q-axis damper circuit, Model 2.1 having one damper circuit both in d-axis and q-axis, Model 2.2 which has one d-axis damper circuit and two qaxis damper circuits. Stator transients are neglected in all of the four models considered. The exciter dynamics is represented by the IEEE Type 1 Exciter model in the simulation [5]. The IEEE Type 1 excitation system represents a majority of the excitation systems in service and is widely used. The accuracy of different synchronous machine models are evaluated by performing simulations for three phase short circuit fault in a model SMIB system. II. POWER SYSTEM MODELS This section describes in brief the differential equations governing the dynamic behavior of the system generator and the excitation system [1-6]. A. Generator Model The highest model (Model 2.2) of the synchronous machine includes the field circuit and the damper circuit in the dq coordinates. With certain valid approximations it reduces to classical model A.1 Model 2.2 The dynamic circuit of the synchronous machine in the sub-transient mode is shown in Fig. 1. This is the sixth order machine model, which includes field circuit (fd) and one damper circuit (1d) on d - axis and two damper circuits (1q, 2q) on the q-axis [6]. This is the highest accurate model considering dynamics in the rotor circuits of both d-axis and q-axis, neglecting only the effect of stator transients. The differential equations governing this model are represented by Equations (1) to (6). This model is preferred to study the damping contribution of power system stabilizers used for transient stability improvement.

A.2 Model 2.1 This is the fifth order model which includes two rotor circuits on d - axis (a field circuit and a damper circuit) and one damper circuit (1q) on q-axis. The differential equations governing this model are represented by equations (1) to (5). The I2q component in equation (4) is absent as the dynamics created by 2q damper circuit are neglected in this model. It is also a sub-transient model, the synchronous machine dynamic circuit being same as shown in Fig. 1
Fig. 1 Synchronous machine sub-transient dynamic circuit

A..3 Model 1.1 (1) This model includes only the rotor circuit on d axis (field winding, fd ) and one rotor circuit on q axis (damper winding, 1q). It is the simpler and commonly used detailed model representation in stability studies. It is a fourth order model including equations from (1) to (4) neglecting the quantities pertaining to 1d and 2q circuits. Exciter dynamics can be easily incorporated in this model. This model is also referred to as two-axis model in literature. The synchronous machine dynamic circuit is the

same as shown in Fig. 1 with a single modification. As this model is a transient model, the Xd in the dynamic circuit of Fig. 1 is replaced by transient reactance, Xd, of the machine. A.4 Model 1.0 This model is a further approximation of the twoaxis model described above. This model is derived based on the assumption that the term Tq0 is sufficiently small and hence the 1q damper dynamics on the q-axis also being neglected. Therefore, this is a third order model containing only the field circuit (fd) dynamics on the d axis and none in the q axis. The system behavior in this model representation is governed by equations (1) to (3). The machine dynamic circuit being the same as Fig. 1, with Xd replaced by Xd. This model is suitable for operational planning studies like selective contingency analysis, where the time factor is more crucial. This model is commonly referred as one-axis flux decay model in literature. A.5 Classical Model It is the simplest model of the synchronous machine. In this model, the synchronous generator is represented by a constant voltage source behind d-axis transient reactance. In this model, the voltage is assumed constant, only its phase angle changes. It is obvious that the changes in the flux linkages and the transient saliency are neglected. This model is very useful for the first swing transient stability study, involving a short period of study say one second or less. It is a second order model governed by two dynamic state variables (, ) represented by equations (1) and (2). Exciter dynamics cannot be incorporated in this model. B. Excitation System Model The excitation system of synchronous generators and motors has an extreme effect on the system stability. The main objective of the excitation system is to control the field current of the synchronous machine. The field current is controlled so as to regulate the terminal voltage of the machine. The basic schematic of IEEE Type 1 Excitation system is shown in Fig. 2.

but with some modifications can also represent the static exciters. The first block (TR) represents the voltage setting circuit, the second block (KA) represents the automatic voltage regulator, the third (KE) with attendant saturation function represents the self-exciter main exciter and finally the derivative stabilizing loop (KF). In most instances, the time constant TF is small enough to be neglected. The dynamics of exciter, as seen from Fig. 2, is represented by differential equations given by equations (11) to (13). The output of the regulator, VR, is limited. It is to be noted that the limits on VR also imply limits on Efd. The saturation function SE = f (Efd) represents the saturation of exciter.

SIMULATION RESULTS

Fig. 2 IEEE Type I Excitation System

Fig. 3 shows a SMIB model system used for simulation study, in which a synchronous generator is delivering power to infinite bus through a double circuit transmission line taken from [2]. The generator and exciter parameters and system data are also shown in Fig. 3. A remote power station connected to a load centre through a long transmission line can be approximated by a SMIB system. This simplification of a SMIB system enables one to gain insights into the dynamic behavior of a synchronous generator. The simulation is performed for a 3LG fault (three phase short circuit fault) occurring at different locations on line L2 at t = 1 sec and the fault is cleared by tripping the faulted line. Table I shows the initial steady state (pre-fault) values obtained for generator and exciter variables determined for different dynamic machine models for the given system parameters. The generator variables and exciter variables, describing the system dynamic behavior at any time instant, are called the state variables. The pre-fault values for these state variables are obtained by equating the system dynamic equations for the corresponding model to zero and solving them with known data. The numerical integration technique adopted for solving the system dynamic equations in each model is the 4th order RK method.

The IEEE Type 1 excitation system [5] represents a majority of excitation systems and is widely used in dynamic study. It essentially represents the rotating exciters

1sec in the middle of the line L2 (X = 50%) and cleared by line tripping. As seen from Fig. 4, when the fault is cleared at 1.170 sec, the system loses stability. Hence, the Critical Clearing Time is predicted as 1.160 sec, where the system is oscillatory stable. The responses of the power angle and terminal voltage of the generator obtained by numerical simulation for each detailed model stated above is shown in Fig. 5. The curves in Fig. 5 are drawn for the 3LG fault located at X = 10% from send end of Line L2 and fault clearing time being the Critical Clearing time as shown in Table II for the concerned model. Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 shows the time response of generator dynamic variables (, , Ed, Eq) and exciter dynamic variables (Vt, Efd, Rf, Vr) respectively for the model SMIB system obtained by simulation for a 3LG fault at X=25% from sending end bus of Line L2. The fault clearing time is assumed as the Critical Clearing Time (CCT) equal to 1.140 sec, seen from Table II.

Table II shows the results of the transient stability simulation performed on the model SMIB system shown in Fig. 3 for different machine models considered. The fault is assumed to occur at various locations from the sending end bus of Line L2. The critical clearing time (CCT), as shown in Table II, is obtained by repeating the simulation for many fault clearing times and observing the nature of the swing curve. Critical clearing time gives a picture of the maximum allowable time up to which the fault can persist in the system, without creating loss of synchronism. At a particular fault clearing time instant, the rotor oscillations of the system generator increases continuously, indicating loss of synchronism. One time step before this fault clearing time is recorded as Critical Clearing Time (CCT). All the values in Table I and Table II are represented in pu. The swing of rotor angle oscillations simulated for different fault clearing times considering the simple classical machine model without exciter dynamics is shown in Fig. 4. The three phase fault is applied at a time instant of

taking a model SMIB system. The performance and accuracy of each detailed model are compared in terms of critical clearing time. The classical model gives more error, because the decay of field flux is neglected in this model. Model 2.2, although more accurate model including the effect of all damper circuits, has resulted in more unstable responses than Model 1.1 showing a contradictory result. Hence, it is concluded that Model 1.1 (Two Axis Model) is more suitable to analyze transient stability of synchronous machines.
