 What is power system stability?
• Power system engineering forms a vast and major portion of electrical engineering
studies.
• It is mainly concerned with the production of electrical power and its transmission
from the sending end to receiving end as per requirements, incurring a minimum
amount of losses.
• The power often changes due to the variation of load or due to disturbances.
Unit –4
• For these reasons, the term power system stability is of utmost importance in this
field. It is used to define the ability of the system to bring back its operation to steady Power System Stability

power generating stations over the globe has mainly relied on AC system as the most
effective and economical option for generation and transmission of electrical power.

Power system stability
• The power system stability or synchronous stability of a power system
can be of several types depending upon the nature of the
disturbance, and for successful analysis, it can be classified into the
following three types as shown below:
1.Steady state stability. Unit –4
Power System Stability
2.Transient stability. Anubha Gupta,

3.Dynamic stability. Asst. Prof. EN Deptt.

 Steady State Stability of a Power System
• The steady-state stability of a power system is defined as the ability of the system to
bring itself back to its stable configuration following a small disturbance in the network
(like normal load fluctuation or action of automatic voltage regulator). It can only be
considered only during a very gradual and infinitesimally small power change.
• In case the power flow through the circuit exceeds the maximum power
permissible, then there are chances that a particular machine or a group of Unit –4
machines will cease to operate in synchronism, and result in yet more
disturbances. In such a situation, the steady-state limit of the system is said to Power System Stability
have reached, or in other words, the steady state stability limit of a system refers Anubha Gupta,
to the maximum amount of power that is permissible through the system Asst. Prof. EN Deptt.
without loss of its steady state stability.
 Transient Stability of a Power System
• Transient stability of a power system refers to the ability of the system to reach a stable
condition following a large disturbance in the network condition.
• In all cases related to large changes in the system like sudden application or removal of
the load, switching operations, line faults or loss due to excitation the transient stability
of the system comes into play.
• It in fact deals in the ability of the system to retain synchronism following a disturbance Unit –4

stability of the system. Going beyond that maximum permissible value for power flow,
the system would temporarily be rendered as unstable.
Dynamic Stability of a Power System
• Dynamic stability of a system denotes the artificial stability given to an
inherently unstable system by automatically controlled means.
• It is concerned to small disturbances lasting for about 10 to 30
seconds.
