# INTRODUCTION he steady state stability of power systems has been and continues to be of major concern in system operation. Modern electrical power systems have grown to a large complexity due to increasing of interconnections, installation of large generating units, and extra-high voltage tie-lines etc. Steady state stability refers to the ability of the power system to regain synchronism after small and slow disturbance, such as gradual power changes [1]. Economic and operational factors make power systems to utilize utmost percentage of their transmission capacity and consequently operate close to stability limit with small margins. In such environment voltage instability is emerged as a major threat for power system security. At present most of electric utilities use the fast response excitation systems, faster relays and stabilizing devices to improve the system security margin. Power systems have become increasingly concerned world-wide with voltage stability and collapse problems [2]. A number of major voltage collapse phenomena have been experienced by utilities resulted in widespread blackouts [3]. In spite of dynamic nature of voltage instability, static approaches are used for its analysis based on the fact that the system dynamics influencing voltage stability are usually slow Author : Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh.

The solution technique of steady state stability problems is to examine the stability of the system under incremental variations about an equilibrium point. The methods of linear analysis can be used to determine whether the system will remain in synchronism following small changes from the operating point or not [7]. It is convenient to assume that the disturbances causing the changes disappear. The motion of the system is free; stability is assured if the system returns to its original state. Such a behavior can be determined in a linear system by examining the characteristic equation the system. In all stability studies, the principle objective is to determine whether or not the rotors of the machines being perturbed return to constant speed operation. Obviously this means that the rotor speeds must depart at least temporarily from synchronous speed. In the past three decades, power system stabilizers (PSSs) have been extensively used to increase the system damping for low frequency oscillations. Worldwide the power utilities are currently implementing PSSs as effective excitation controllers to improve the system stability under various faults conditions The objective of this work is to analysis a simple and effective method for stability analysis of power system under different faulty conditions by considering Eigen values in steady state condition under MATLAB environment. This research paper is organized as follows. A brief description of the system is presented in Section 2. Section 3 discusses the synchronous generator model of the considered system while the excitation system is described in Section 4. Section 5 highlights some important issues for modern primemover governing system. Effect of small load changes of the system and associated state variables have been summarized in Section 6. System Eigen values which play important role in determining the power system stability have been discussed in Section 7. In section 8, computer simulations are performed using the MATLAB environment under different operating conditions. Finally, some concluding remarks have been highlighted in Section 9. kamol_d@yahoo.com of fault and provide information to make a quick decision that whether it is possible to get the system in normal operation or not.

The synchronous generator is connected to a large interconnected electric power system networks. These networks have important characteristic that the system voltage at the point of connection is constant in magnitude, phase angle, and frequency. Such a point in a power system is referred to as an infinite bus. That is, the voltage at the generator bus will not be altered by changes in the generator's operating condition [1]. Faults at different sections of the power system are considered for small disturbances and the system behavior is observed. The faults may occur (a) at the generator bus, (b) middle of the transmission line, and (c) at the infinite bus. The system is sensitive to large disturbance and may not regain synchronism. # III. # SYNCHRONOUS GENERATOR MODEL In the two axis model, the transient effects are accounted while the sub-transient effects are neglected. The transient effects are dominated by the rotor circuits, which are the field circuit in the d-axis and an equivalent circuit in the q-axis formed by the solid rotor. An additional assumption is made in this model is that the stator voltage equations in terms of flux linkages derivatives are negligible compared to the speed voltage terms. The machine will thus have two stator circuits and two rotor axis. However, the number of differential equations describing these circuits is Rotor angle equations:- = 0(2) IV. # EXCITATION SYSTEM Each and every alternator in a power system is provided with an automatic voltage regulator. The primary function of automatic voltage regulator is to adjust the field current of the synchronous machine in an automatic way to maintain the terminal voltage at a desired value as the output of the machine varies. Usually a high loop gain K A renders the system unstable. Again with a small amplifier gain, automatic voltage regulator step response is not satisfactory. Thus, in order to improve the relative stability and steady state response, a stabilizing transformer is used. The input of the transformer is connected to the output of the exciter and the output is subtracted from the amplifier input. The output of the transformer is V S . The required equations are: = 1 [ + ](3)= 1 [ + ](4) The armature transient voltage of direct axis and quadrature axis are expressed as, Here, E FD is the field excitation voltage, T qo is the d-axis transient time constant, and T do is the q-axis transient time constant [3].

The power deficiency is supplied by the consequently it causes the generator frequency to fall. The change in speed is sensed by the turbine governor which acts to adjust the turbine input valve to change the mechanical power output to bring the speed to a new steady state. The block diagram of modern speed governing system is shown in Fig. 4. Here, the governor consists of two delays. Time constants of speed regulator T sr = 0.1 sec. The other delay is control valve and other speed mechanism where the time constant T sm = 0.2 sec. And T ch is the time constant which usually lies in the range of 0.2 to 0.5 sec [3]. The equations that express the prime-mover governing system are given as, = 1 [ + ](7)= 1 [ + ](8)= 1 [ + + 0 (9) = 1 [ + + ( + + 0 )](10) VI. # EFFECT OF SMALL LOAD CHANGES (STEADY STATE ANALYSIS) Steady state studies use a very simple generator model which treats the generator as a constant voltage source. Steady state stability studies are less extensive in scope and involve one or just few response of a power system to impacts current oscillatory. If the oscillations are damped, so that after sufficient time has been elapsed the deviation or the change in the state of the system due to the small impact is small, the system is stable. On the other hand if the oscillations grow in magnitude or are sustained indefinitely, the system is unstable. When the load changes on a power system with a little amount, the system state variables are expressed as: = = 0 = + ( 1 2 + 3 + 4 ) + = = ( ) = + ( ) = = + = + + = + Where 1 = , 2 = , 3 = 2 1 , 4 = 1 2 Consideration: [ ][ ] = [ ][ ] + [ ] = = ( + ) = 1 (( + ) ) = Finally, Eigen values are determined using MATLAB. # VII. # EIGEN VALUE SENSITIVITY Eigen values play important role in determining the power system stability. Table 1 shows the system Eigen values for two initial operating conditions for reheat steam turbine gain of K rh = 0.3 and K rh = 2.4. Electromechanical modes are denoted in bold. The value of K rh may be changed to get the electromechanical mode of oscillation and K rh varies from 0.3 to 0.4. For both P 0 = 1.0 p.u. and P 0 =1.2 p.u., the system real part of the oscillatory mode is small © 2011 Global Journals Inc. (US) machines undergoing slow or gradual changes in operating conditions. The criterion of small disturbance is simply that the perturbed system can be linearized about a quiescent operating point . In general , the kinetic energy of the rotating system. The reduction in kinetic energy causes the turbine speed and compared to the imaginary part. On the other hand, For P 0 = 1.2 p.u. and K rh = 2.4, the system has positive real part. Because of positive real part, the system will be unstable. # VIII. Computer Simulation These computer simulations have been performed using the MATLAB environment under different operating conditions. The system performance is observed for different locations of the transmission line. Three case studies have been conducted. P P 0 = 1.0 p.u. K rh = 0. IX. # Conclusion Two axis model of synchronous machine taking into account the effect of saliency is considered for steady state stability analysis. For small disturbance, it is possible to regain the stability of the system. This is observed by varying the air gap power P e . If the forces tending to hold the machines in synchronism with one another are sufficient to overcome the disturbing forces, the system is said to remain stable. The gradual increase of the generator power output is possible until the maximum electrical power is transferred. This maximum power is referred to as the steady state stability limit. The most common boundary conditions are the terminal voltage and either the current I a and the power factor or the generated power and the reactive power. In either case V a , I a and (Power factor angle) are assumed to be known. In this paper, the steady state analysis is performed. The ten equations in section VI would be changed for small load changes values as well as Eigen values are calculated and finally computer simulation of the system is performed. For all cases, the initial power P e = 1.03 is considered as the air gap power. It is observed from Fig. 5 (a) that fault at the generator bus is very much severe. It is impossible to regain the system into stable, because the speed of the rotor and the rotor angle is continuously oscillatory. Fig. 5 (b) demonstrates that fault at the middle of the transmission line is not much severe. In this case, the oscillation of the rotor angle and the speed reduces with respect to time. The system may come back into stable state. From Fig. 5 (c), it is seen that it is possible to regain synchronism. In a short time the system comes back into stable state. 2011![Global Journals Inc.
