Abstract
The introduction of wide area measurements has brought a need for real time assessment methods of power systems, which are accurate and fast. The time varying coefficients in synchronous machine equations make it difficult to find solutions to obtain machine voltages, currents and flux linkages when expressed in phase quantities under transient conditions. The paper presents an approach to design power system transient stability assessment using direct methods for a multi-machine network based on multiple synchronized phasors, measured from Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) and generator parameters. The generator rotor angle was derived from phasor measurements of voltage and current, and generator parameters using direct algorithm . The method assumes that a temporary fault is applied to the system therefore the pre-fault and post-fault conditions are similar. The multi-machine system was reduced to groups denoted Single Machine to Equivalent Bus (SMEB) models and another groups denoted Load Equivalent Bus (LEB) using Parallel Algorithms (PAs) [1]. The use of these PAs eliminates the SPMUs at each bus in the system, and it is required number of SPMUs only equals the number of generator buses. So that, the Equal Area Criterion in both rotor angle domain and time domain can be applicable for the SMEBs groups to assess the system stability in real-time through the Synchro-Phasors Measurements Units (SPMUs). A temporary three phase fault was simulated at test system comprises 2-machine, 8-bus network for validating the novel algorithm.
