2 Chapter 17 Transient Stability Analysis The PowerStation Transient Stability Analysis program is designed to investigate the stability limits of a power system before, during, and after system changes or disturbances. The program models dynamic characteristics of a power system, implements the user-defined events and actions, solves the system network equation and machine differential equations interactively to find out system and machine responses in time domain. From these responses, users can determine the system transient behavior, make stability assessment, find protective device settings, and apply the necessary remedy or enhancement to improve the system stability. This chapter describes different tools to assist you in running transient stability studies. An overview on the basics of transient stability study is also provided. This chapter is organized into 8 sections. The Transient Stability Toolbar section explains how you can launch a transient stability calculation, open and view an output report, select display options, and view plots. The Study Case Editor section explains how to create a new study case, to define parameters for a study case, to create a sequence of switching events and disturbances, to globally define machine dynamical modeling method, to select plot/tabulation devices, etc. The Display Options section explains what options are available for displaying some key system parameters and the output results on the oneline diagram, and how to set them. The Calculation Methods section provides some theoretical backgrounds and quick reference for the fundamentals on transient stability study, which are very helpful for users who do not have extensive experience on running transient stability studies. The Required Data section is a very good reference for you to check if you have prepared all necessary data for transient stability calculations. These data range from the system side, such as bus and branch information, to the machine side, such as machine model and parameters, exciter model and parameters, and governor model and parameters. The Output Reports section explains and demonstrates the format and organization of the transient stability text reports. The One-Line Diagram Displayed Results section explains the available one-line displaying results and provides one example. The Plots section explains what plots for transient stability are available and how to select and view them. Operation Technology, Inc ETAP PowerStation 4.0

6 Study Case Editor 17.2 Study Case Editor The Transient Stability Study Case Editor contains solution control variables, loading conditions, event and action specifications, machine modeling selections and a variety of options for output reports and plots. PowerStation allows you to create and save an unlimited number of study cases. Transient stability calculations are conducted and reported in accordance to the settings of the study case selected in the Study Case Toolbar. You can easily switch between study cases without the trouble of resetting the study case options each time. This feature is designed to organize your study efforts and save you time. As a part of the multi-dimensional database concept of PowerStation, study cases can be used for any combination of the three major system toolbar components, i.e. for any configuration status, one-line diagram presentation, and Base/Revision Data. When you are in the Transient Stability Analysis mode, you can access the Transient Stability Study Case Editor by clicking on the Study Case button on the Transient Stability Toolbar. You can also access this editor from the Project View by clicking on the Transient Stability subfolder under the Study Cases folder. To create a new study case, go to the Project View, right-click on the Transient Stability Study Case folder, and select Create New. The program will then create a new study case, which is a copy of the default study case, and adds it to the Transient Stability Study Case folder. The Transient Stability Study Case Editor consists of four pages: Info Page, Events Page, Dyn Model Page, and Plot Page. Operation Technology, Inc ETAP PowerStation 4.0

7 Study Case Editor Info Page This page is provided for you to specify some general solution parameters and study case information. Study Case ID Study case ID is shown in this entry field. You can rename a study case by simply deleting the old ID and entering a new ID. Study case ID can be up to 12 alphanumeric characters. Use the Navigator button at the bottom of the editor to go from one study case to another. Initial Load Flow In this section you can specify the solution parameters for initial load flow calculation in transient stability analysis. Max Iteration Enter the maximum number of iterations. If the solution has not converged at the specified number of iterations, the program will stop and inform the user. The recommended and default value is Solution Precision Enter the value for the solution precision that is used to check for convergence. This value determines how precise you want the final solution to be. The default (and recommended) value is Accel. Factor Enter the convergence acceleration factor to be used between iterations. Typical values are between 1.2 and 1.7. The default value is Operation Technology, Inc ETAP PowerStation 4.0

8 Study Case Editor Solution Parameters Simulation Time Step This is the integration time step in seconds in transient stability simulation. You should set this number smaller than the smallest time constant in the system so you can see all the exciter and governor responses. Note that the smaller this number is, the more calculations are required, so the calculation time increases. The recommended value is seconds. If you feel you need higher resolution, decrease this number. However, if the integration time step is too small, accumulated round up errors may increase. Plot Time Step This value determines how often PowerStation should record the results of the simulation for plotting. For instance, if you specify 20 steps, PowerStation will plot points at every 20 simulation time step, i.e., for a simulation time step of 0.001, the plot time step will be.02 seconds. The smaller this number is, the smoother your plots will look, but also remember that the plot files on your hard disk may grow quite large. Keep in mind that PowerStation records plot information at this interval throughout the simulation. For example, if you specified a simulation time step of seconds, plot time step of 10, and a total time of 20 seconds, PowerStation will write 20 / (0.001*10)= 2000 points to disk, which may be a very large plot file, depending on the number of machines and buses being plotted. Apply XFMR Phase-Shift Select this option to include transformer phase-shift specified in the transformer editors in both transient stability initial load flow calculation and time simulation calculation. Otherwise transformer phase-shift will be ignored (i.e., 0 degree phase-shift regardless of the transformer winding connections). Initial Loading In the Initial Loading block of the Transient Stability Study Case Editor, you can specify the system initial operating loads by selecting a loading. The initial loading conditions will establish an initial normal operation condition for the transient stability studies. Loading Category Select one of the ten loading categories for this study case. With the selection of any category, PowerStation uses the percent loading of individual motors and other loads as specified for the selected category. Note that you can assign loading to each one of the ten categories in the Nameplate page, Loading page, or Rating page for most load components. Harmonic Filter loading is calculated from its parameters. Operating Load Check this option to operate P and Q as specified in the relevant component editors. Charger Loading Load Category Select this option to use the P and Q specified in the Loading Category section of the Charger Editor for chargers. Operation Technology, Inc ETAP PowerStation 4.0

9 Study Case Editor Operating Load Select this option to use the P and Q as specified in the Operating Load section of the Charger Editor. If this option is selected, a DC load flow calculation is required to run first in order to estimate the charger load. Load Diversity Factor Apply appropriate load diversity factor(s) for transient stability initial load flow calculation. The choices are: None Select None to use the percent loading of each load as entered for the selected Loading Category, i.e., no diversity factor is considered. Bus Maximum When the Bus Maximum option is selected, the loading of all motors and other loads will be multiplied by the maximum diversity factor of the bus, which they are directly connected to. Using this option, you can define the initial loading for transient stability studies with each bus having a different maximum diversity factor. This study option is helpful when the future loading of the electrical system has to be considered and each bus may have a different maximum diversity factor. Bus Minimum When the Bus Minimum option is selected, the loading of all motors and other loads will be multiplied by the bus minimum diversity factor of the bus that they are directly connected to. Using this option, you can define the initial loading for transient stability studies with each bus having a different minimum diversity factor. This study option may be used to see the effect of transformer taps and capacitors (if any) on the system voltages under a minimum (light) loading condition. Global When this option is selected, PowerStation will ask you to enter global diversity factors for constant kva and constant Z loads, respectively. When you select this option, PowerStation will globally multiply all constant kva and constant Z loads of the selected loading category with the entered values. When using this option, you can define the initial loading for transient stability analysis studies with fixed diversity factors for all loads. Note that a constant kva load diversity factor of 125% implies that the constant kva loads of all buses are increased 25% above their values as specified by the selected loading category. This value can be smaller or greater than 100%. Remarks 2nd Line You can enter up to 120 alphanumeric characters in the Remarks box. Information entered in this location will be printed on the second line of the header information in every page of the output report. These remarks can provide specific information and conditions for each study case. Note that the first line of the header information is global for all study cases and is entered in the Project Information Editor. Operation Technology, Inc ETAP PowerStation 4.0

22 Calculation Methods 17.4 Calculation Methods Performing the power system transient stability study is a very comprehensive task. It requires knowledge of machine dynamic models, machine control unit models (such as excitation system and automatic voltage regulators, governor and turbine/engine systems, and power system stabilizers), numerical computations, and power system electromechanical equilibrium phenomena. The full discussion on this topic is far beyond the scope of this manual. In this section, we will brief you with some fundamentals and underlying principles on the power system transient stability study, with the focus on applications with PowerStation. Purpose for Performing Transient Stability Study Dynamic performance of a power system is significant in the design and operation of the system. The transient stability study determines the machine power angles and speed deviations, system electrical frequency, real and reactive power flows of the machines, power flows of lines and transformers, as well as the voltage levels of the buses in the system. These system conditions provide indications for system stability assessments. The results are displayed on the one-line diagram, and also can be printed or plotted. For transient stability studies, you should model particular groups of machines in the system that are known to have important influences on the system operation. The total simulation time for each study case should be sufficiently long to obtain a definite stability conclusion. Power System Stability Definition Power system stability is the property of a power system that insures the system remains in electromechanical equilibrium throughout any normal and abnormal operating conditions. Because the power system stability is an electromechanical phenomenon, it is thus defined as the ability of designated synchronous machines in the system to remain in synchronism with one another following disturbances such as fault and fault removal at various locations in the system. It also indicates the ability of induction motors in the system to maintain torque to carry load following these disturbances. Synchronous Machine Rotor Angles Synchronous machines play a decisive role in the power system stability because during and after disturbances their rotor angles will oscillate to cause power flow oscillations in the system. Depending on the level of these oscillations, the electromechanical equilibrium in the system could be destroyed and the instability could occur. Therefore, power system stability is sometimes also referred to as synchronous machine rotor angle stability. The following two equations are often referenced in power system transient stability studies: Torque Equation (Generator Case) where T = mechanical shaft torque P = number of poles φ air = air-gap flux F r = rotor field MMF δ = power (rotor) angle πp T = 8 2 φ air F r sin δ Operation Technology, Inc ETAP PowerStation 4.0

23 Calculation Methods The torque equation defines the relationship between the mechanical shaft torque, the stator voltage, the excitation system, and the rotor angle. Changes in any one of them will cause the rotor angle to readjust itself to a new position. Swing Equation (Generator Case) where M = inertia constant D = damping constant P mech = input mechanical power P elec = output electrical power 2 d δ dδ M + D = 2 dt dt P mech P elec The swing equation shows that the solution of the rotor angle is a function of balance between the mechanical power and the electrical power. Any change in the system that breaks this balance will cause the rotor angle to undergo a transient and reach a new position in an oscillatory manner. This oscillation is usually called the rotor angle swing. Stability Limits There are two types of stability limit for a power system, namely steady-state stability limit and transient stability limit. Steady-State Stability Limit The steady-state stability is defined as the stability of a system under conditions of gradual or small changes in the system. This stability can be either found by the load flow calculation for a steady-state operation, or determined by a transient stability study if there are system changes or disturbances involved. The system is said to be steady-state stable if, following any small and/or gradual disturbances, all synchronous machines reach their steady-state operating condition identical or close to the predisturbance operating conditions. The steady-state stability limit for any synchronous machine is when its rotor angle is less than 90 degrees. Transient Stability Limit Transient or dynamic stability is defined as the stability of a system during and after sudden changes or disturbances in the system, such as short-circuits, loss of generators, sudden changes in load, line tripping, or any other similar impact. The system is said to be transient stable if following a severe disturbance, all synchronous machines reach their steady-state operating condition without prolonged loss of synchronism or going out of step with other machines. Causes of Instability Problems The major causes to industrial power system instability problems include, but are not limited to: Short-circuits Loss of a tie connection to a utility system Loss of a portion of in-plant co-generation (generator rejection) Starting a motor that is large relative to the system generating capacity Switching operations of lines, capacitors, etc. Impact loading (motors and static loads) A sudden large step change of load or generation Operation Technology, Inc ETAP PowerStation 4.0

24 Calculation Methods Consequences of Instability Problems The consequences of power system instability problems usually are very severe and can range from permanent damage on equipment and shutting down processes, all the way to causing a whole area power outage. Some typical consequences are listed below: Area-wide blackout Interruption of loads Low-voltage conditions Damage to equipment Relay and protective device malfunctions Power System Transient Stability Enhancement Depending on the causes of instability problems in a particular system, a number of enhancements can be made to improve the system stability. Typical enhancements include: Improve configuration and system design. Increase synchronizing power Design and selection of rotating equipment use induction motors, increase moment of inertia, reduce transient reactance, improve voltage regulator and exciter characteristics Application of Power System Stabilizers (PSS) Add system protection fast fault clearance, system separation, etc. Add load shedding scheme However, note that each of the above remedies requires careful consideration and we recommend that you re-run all system studies again, because changes brought by those remedies very likely will impact system load flow, short-circuit, and motor starting results.

25 Calculation Methods Simulation of Time Events and Actions Transient Stability study is essentially an action driven time-domain simulation. Actions should be specified at different time instants (events). There are two ways to specify events and actions. One way is to use the Event Editor and Action Editor in the Transient Stability Study Case Editor. Another way is to use relay-controlled dynamic actions. When using actions specified in the Transient Stability Study Case Editor, Action List, the exact time instant for the action to take place needs to be given. Type of actions in this category includes all the prescheduled operations such as generator start-up and shutdown, generator control mode change, load addition and rejection, motor acceleration, MOV start and others. When to simulate the system response for existing events, such as a recorded fault in the system, user also can use this type of action, because the recorded fault occurring time and duration are known. To specify this type of actions, user first creates a new event and the event occurring time in the Event Editor of the Transient Stability Study Case Editor, Event page, as shown below. Secondly, user can use the Action Editor in the same page to add as many actions as desired for this event. Operation Technology, Inc ETAP PowerStation 4.0

26 Calculation Methods A complete list of devices in ETAP PowerStation that can be specified with actions and types of these actions is given in section 2.2 Events Page, of this chapter, under subsection Actions. However, in power systems, many actions occur without any pre-acknowledgment, instead, they are controlled by sensors and relays. For instance, a current relay will trip off circuit breakers once the measured current by relay exceeds a pre-set value. In another case, a voltage relay can be used to open or close circuit breakers based on its monitored voltage and comparison with an upper and an lower settings. These types of action do not have a definite time of happening and are solely depending on the system dynamic responses and relay settings. They, therefore, have to be implemented using the second method, i.e., relay controlled actions. To use relay-controlled actions, user need to add a relay and connect it to the one-line diagram via a PT or CT, depending on type of the relay. Next in relay editor, user specifies relay-controlled circuit breaker ID, control settings, time delay, and other data related to relay operations. During the transient stability simulation in time-domain, if a relay setting is met, then its controlled circuit breaker will take an automatic action. This method avoids requesting to give a pre-defined action time and is a true resemblance to power system real operating conditions. Following two pictures give an example of how to use relay-controlled actions. In the first picture, assuming CB2 and/or CB11 are tripped off due to a fault in transformer T2, thus substation Sub2A-N losses power. To make a bus transfer for Sub2A-N to the adjacent bus Sub2B, user can place a voltage relay (27) on bus Sub2A-N to monitor the bus voltage magnitude and close a normally opened tie circuit breaker Tie CB when it is necessary. Operation Technology, Inc ETAP PowerStation 4.0

27 Calculation Methods To do so, user can set the voltage relay to pick up under-voltage at 65% and close Tie CB after 0.1 relay delaying time and what ever the closing cycle by Tie CB itself. Settings for the voltage relay is shown in the second figure down below. Operation Technology, Inc ETAP PowerStation 4.0
