    1 SUMMARYThe system contains eleven buses and two areas, connected by a weak tie between bus 7 and 9. Totally

    two loads are applied to the system at bus 7 and 9. The system has the fundamental frequency 60 Hz.

    The system comprises two similar areas connected by a weak tie. Each area consists of two generators,

    each having a rating of 900 MVA and 20 kV. In order to analyse this system called KUNDUR twoAREA system following steps are carried out.

    Power-flow calculation Linear Analysis and Modal Analysis Time-domain simulation

    For carrying out KUNDUR Two Area system, Simulation software called SIMPOW is used. In part 1,

    power flow calculation is done by using kundur.optpow file and single line diagram is drawn. By

    using casefault.dynpow file, dynamic simulation is carried out. At 1s, there is three phase short circuit

    in bus 8. Assuming fault to be small signal disturbance, linear analysis is carried out and Eigen values

    are calculated. Linear analysis and the information provided by eigenvalues and eigenvectors are very

    useful when doing system studies. Time domain simulations (in SIMPOW) using the non-linear

    models are further used to verify the responses.

    Automatic voltage regulator (AVR) and the field excitation system of the generators have an impact

    on system stability. In part 2 there is analysis of AVR by changing its gain and time constant. The

    whole part 2 is analysed by removing Power system Stabilizer (PSS). PSS helps in stability

    enhancement. In this part also linear analysis is carried out, Eigen values are calculated. The

    parameters which affect the stability of the system is gain and time constant. So analysis is done to see

    how these value influence the stability.

    2 INTRODUCTIONThe KUNDUR two area systems consists of two generating and load areas consisting of 2 generators

    in each area and is connected by a duplex tie line between bus 7 and 9 as depicted in fig 1.

    Part 1 is exercise meant to give idea of the simulation tool SIMPOW and some ideas about thedynamics of the power system. Power flow, linear analysis, Eigen values, sensitivity, data scanning,

    modal analysis are carried out to have better insight of Kundur two area system. There is some slight

    understanding of stability, inter area mode of oscillation, electromechanical oscillation.

    In part 2 AVR is introduced to all the generators. Exciter called high transient gain exciter is equipped

    to the all generators. Parameter like KA, TR of the exciter is changed and its impact on stability is

    studied. More advance exciter Transient gain reduction is used and its parameters are tuned in order to

    improve the stability of the system.

    There is three phase short circuit on bus 8.Pre fault and Post fault values of steady state voltage and

    reactive power is calculated and analysed. After the fault is removed on bus 8, one of the lines

    between bus 8 and bus 9 is tripped. The reactive power exchange, before and after fault are alsostudied and the results are analysed.

    The results are discussed and tried to associate with the general theory and from the course book

    Power system Stability.

    3 BASICS OF POWER SYSTEM DYNAMICS AND SIMPOW (PART 1)3.1 INITIAL POWER FLOW COMPUTATIONThe optimal power flow using SIMPOW is carried out using base case. The figure 1 in the Appendix 1

    represents the power flow result of the kundur case in tabular format. This is the total overview of the

    system. The Kundur two area system consists of ten buses in which bus 1,2,5,6,7 lies in the AREA 1

    and rest of the bus lies in AREA 2 except for bus 8 which lies in the tie between AREA 1 and AREA

    2 via bus 7 and bus 9. Here bus 3 is swing bus and rest of generator bus 1, 2 and 4 is PV bus. Bus 7

    and 9 is the load bus or PQ bus and load is modelled as constant power character. it is done by

    making MP=MQ=0 in SIMPOW. This result is also displayed in single line diagram in Appendix 2.

    The voltage of Bus 9 is lower than the permissible value as seen in figure 1 of Appendix 1.. So it has

    been improved by using the shunt compensation at bus 7 and 9 . The improved power flow is also

    shown in figure 2 of Appendix 1.

    The summary of power flow result is tabulated below.

    follows:

    Table 2: Summary of Power transfer between AREA 1 and AREA 2

    3.2 LINEAR ANALYSISLinear Analysis is done for the small disturbance in the system. Linear analysis reduces the

    complexity of the power system. The computation of eigenvalues, and performing frequency scanning,

    data scanning and modal analysis is carried out in linear analysis which can be done easily in

    SIMPOW. The alter command features to connect and disconnect the power components, the

    connection and disconnection time as per the requirement in analysis of the system. The figure 1 in

    Appendix 3 shows the eigen values of the kundur 2 area system before the 3 phase fault occurs at bus

    8. All the eigen values have negative real part indicating the stable system. But of all the eigen values,

    only one of those eigen values whose imaginary part in the range of 0.2-2Hz are chosen as only the

    electromechanical mode is studied. The eigen value (-0.599,0.66) is chosen as the initial value and the

    eigen values are improved. It is done because for the numerical method problem the initial value

    matters which is shown in figure 2.

    The filtered eigen values are tabulated as below in table 3. Only those eigen values which has

    frequency in the range 0.2-2Hz is taken into consideration. It is because these values represent the

    electromechanical mode which is the interest of this project.

    Table 3: Eigen value with imaginary part between 0.2-2 Hz

    As all the eigen values lie in the negative half plane the system is stable before the fault occurs. The

    damping ratio is given by

    If the Eigen values have negative real part then damping ratio is positive and the system is stable.

    3.3 MODAL ANALYSISModal analysis means the eigen vector of any given eigen value. The figure 3 shows the modal

    analysis for the Eigen value no. 29. For the particular Eigen value the eigen vector of 4 different

    generator is plotted in this figure. For the eigen vector no. 29,(-0.59985, 0.66048) the generator 1

    and 2 which is of the AREA1 is oscillating against AREA 2. This is called inter area interaction and is a

    positive quality for an integrated large network. And figure2 in Appendix 3 shows the model analysis

    for eigen value no. 21.

    Figure 3: MODAL ANALYSIS for eigen value no. 29

    3.4 SENSITIVITY ANALYSISSensitivity analysis means how much sensible the eigen values are to the control parameters like

    Inertia Constant, Damping ratio. By changing these control parameters, sensitivity analysis shows how

    the eigen values are changed. Hence this gives idea about how these control parameters effect on the

    stability of the system.

    It is seen from the sensitivity table 4 that if inertia constant of synchronous generator is increased then

    there is increase in real part and decrease in imaginary part because the sensitivity is positive for real

    part and negative for imaginary part. Assuming initially, the eigen value is in negative half plane, For1 pu change in inertia constant the eigen value change by 0.03484 1/s in positive direction bringing it

    near to the origin so the stability decreases. In contradiction increase in pu of damping constant of

    synchronous generator 3, there is decrease of real part of eigen value taking it more far from the origin

    so the stability increase.

    Taking the second order model of synchronous generator the eigen value are represented by

    Where , so the result is compatible with the formula. The equation says that if inertia

    constant is increased real part comes closer to origin. i.e the system would be less stable. And if

    Damping Constant is increased then eigen values move far away from the origin and system increase

    stability.

    3.5 DATA SCANNINGData Scanning is the graphical approach of verifying the sensitivity analysis. Here also eigen values

    are initially in negative half plane. From the graph obtained by data scanning of H from 4 to 8 in step

    of 0.5 in figure 4, it is seen that increase in inertia constant decrease the imaginary part and increase

    the real part of eigen value. The real part determines the state of stability. The system is stable if the

    eigen value is located far away from the origin in negative x axis. But increase in H is taking the eigen

    value nearer to the origin so the stability is decreasing on increase in H. If it is done for damping

    constant D then it looks as in figure 5

    Figure 4 change in eigen value by changing H

    Figure 5 change in eigen value by changing D

    11/44

    TET 4180 Electric Power System Stability

    10

    Figrue 5 shows that increase in D is taking the eigen value away from the origin in negative x axis so

    stability margin is increasing. Data scanning shows the exact value of eigen value on increasing or

    decreasing of system parameter but Sensitivity analysis shows only the slope of eigen value with

    respect to system parameters.

    Figure 8. : plot of power output(MW) of generators during outage of line 1 at base case

    The dynpow file casefault.dynpow shows that there is three phase fault at bus 8 at 1s and the fault is

    removed at 1.05 s. In figure 6 the voltage of bus 8 is zero during the fault and regained after fault is

    removed. Figure 7 is speed response of the all generator which shows that there is oscillation in all

    the generator after fault but the system finally became stable after the removal of fault. It is also seen

    that during fault, generator 1 and 2 of AREA 1 is oscillating against generator 3 and 4 of AREA 2.

    This is called inter area mode of interaction. The same type of oscillation is also felt by power outputof generators which is shown in figure 8.

    With simpow, some graphs can be plotted manually. The figure 9 consists of graph which representsthe exchange of active power between the bus 8 and bus 9. There are duplex line between bus 8 and

    bus 9. After the fault, line 1 is cut off so the active power transfer by the line 1 after the fault is zero.

    So all the power must be exchanged by line 2.Line 2 is exchanging the same power as line 1 before

    fault

    3.7 EIGEN VALUE AFTER FAULTThe figure 12 represents the eigen value after the fault. But all the eigen values do not represent the

    electromechanical mode of oscillation. Only those eigen values which have 0.2-2 Hz is considered as

    the electromechanical mode.

    Figure 12 eigen value after fault

    The list of filtered electro-mechanical mode of eigen values are:

    Eigenvalue no 21: -2.19124 1/s , 1.29966 Hz

    Eigenvalue no 22: -2.19124 1/s , -1.29966 HzEigenvalue no 23: -2.24210 1/s , 1.34514 Hz

    Eigenvalue no 24: -2.24210 1/s , -1.34514 Hz

    Eigenvalue no 29: -0.570887 1/s , 0.528683 Hz

    Eigenvalue no 30: -0.570887 1/s , -0.528683 Hz

    Eigenvalue no 35: -1.76428 1/s , 0.216604 HzEigenvalue no 36: -1.76428 1/s , -0.216604 Hz

    From the figure 13, the period of oscillation is T=1.8 sec i.e. frequency f = 1/1.8 s = 0.55 Hz which is

    very close to the frequency of oscillation computed by SIMPOW in eigenvalue no. 29. And from thereal part of the same eigenvalue, the damping period is T=1/0.57091 =1.75 seconds. Practically, it

    takes around 5 cycles to decay the oscillations that equals to 5*1.75 s = 8.75 seconds which can also

    be observed in the figure 13.

    By inspection of the Eigen value also the stability of the system can be found out. But after converting

    to the time domain it is seen that due to fault at 1s, rotor angle swings and after some oscillation it

    final settles down to another equilibrium value. The system is stable.

    4 IMPACT OF AVR ( part 2)Before the effect of AVR in stability is discussed, it is useful to explain some theory regarding the

    control system. For the control system as shown below

    Figure 14. General control system

    If the transfer function is

    , Damping constant = and natural frequency wn= . For the

    system to be stable damping constant must be high. i.e T(time constant) must be less and K(gain) must

    be less.

    Automatic voltage regulator is designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage level usually by

    varying the field voltage. Part 2 is the analysis of regulated system so every generator is equipped

    with the AVR. When any disturbance occurs for instant the short circuit then voltage of the node goes

    down, AVR maintains the voltage of the generator terminals constant by adjusting the value of the

    excitation voltage. If AVR is fast then it tries to maintain the generator stable despite the occurrence of

    the fault. Stability means ability to come in the original position even after disturbance. So the

    parameters of AVR have huge impact on generator stability.

    Exciter EXC_HTG is introduced to all the generators. It is thyristor static exciter with a high transient

    gain which is shown in figure 15

    Figure 15: EXC_HTC exciter

    This type of exciter is called static exciter. High value of KA is desirable from the viewpoint of

    overall excitation control design and performance. KA=200 is chosen. All the analysis is done by

    disconnecting PSS. PSS is power system stabilizer. Part 1 is analyzed with PSS. PSS is a device which

    provides additional supplementary control loops to the AVR system. System stabilizes faster when

    PSS is used. It is one of the most cost effective methods of enhancing power system stability. PSS is

    removed in SIMPOW by making SWS=0.

    4.1 INSERTION OF EXC_HTC WITH KA=200, TR=0.01SInserting the EXC_HTG for all the generators, casefault.dynpow is analysed linearly and the eigenvalues are calculated which is shown in figure 16.. All the generator has KA=200, TR=0.01s

    Figure 16 eigen value for KA=200, TR=0.01S

    The eigen values are liste as:

    Eigenvalue 17 (-0.74222 1/s , 1.1186 Hz)

    Eigenvalue 18(-0.74222 1/s , -1.1186 Hz)

    Eigenvalue 19 (-0.73589 1/s , 1.1495 Hz)

    Eigenvalue 20 (-0.73589 1/s , -1.1495 Hz)

    Eigenvalue 21 (-0.87935E-01 1/s , 0.52029 Hz)

    Eigenvalue 22 (-0.87935E-01 1/s ,-0.52029 Hz)

    Eigenvalue 34: ( -1.3541 1/s , 0.12096 Hz)

    Eigenvalue 35 ( -1.3541 1/s ,-0.12096 Hz)

    All the eigen values are in negative half plane which means that the system is stable. Any eigen values

    has real part and imaginary part. Real part indicates the damping nature of the disturbance while theimaginary part indicates the oscillation of disturbance. So the negative real part of eigen value means

    that oscillation is decreasing and the system is stable. The eigen values analysis is frequency domain

    analysis. The system behaviour is more illustrative in time domain analysis which is shown below in

    figure 17.

    Figure 17: Speed Response

    This graph shows there is disturbance at 1s and after it is cleared the disturbance dies out gradually

    and after around 40s the system is stable again but in the different value than the pre fault condition. It

    can also be seen that the generator 1 and 2 of area 1 is oscillating against generator 3 and 4. The initial

    value, final value and settling time is tabulated below.

    another value 1.00057 but it happens in different settling time. G1,G2 of area 1 settles down in 41s

    while generator G3,G4 of area 2 settles down in 46s.

    Figure 18 shows the voltage analysis in time domain. The voltage of all the generator goes down to

    Here it is seen that the initial and final value is same because the gain is very high KA=200 and the

    steady state error is zero.

    4.2 IMAPCT OF CHANGING KA and TR of AVRIn this section, value of KA and TR of generators are change one by one and to all the generator at the

    same time. In this way it can be seen how the stability of generator is affected by these parameter.

    Originally the value of KA=200 and TA=0.01 s.

    This figures 1 to 4 in Appendix 4 shows how the Eigen values change, when TR is change from 0.01s

    to 1s one by one in all four generator keeping KA constant at 200.Fig 1 to fig 4 is the result of data

    scanning. Data scanning is done for the eigen value (-0.87935E-01 1/s ,-0.52029 Hz). This

    particular eigen value is chosen because the time response of figure 17 shows that Time period of

    oscillation is 2s which means frequency of oscillation is nearly 0.5Hz.

    4.2.1 Changing time constantIt is seen that when TR of generator 1 and 2 is changed then eigen values are moving towards origin

    decreasing stability and finally lie in right half plane if TR is further increased making the system

    unstable. On contrary, eigen values of generator 3 and 4 of area 2 are moving away from the origin

    increasing stability. And the figure 5 in appendix 4 shows the effect on Eigen values when TR is

    changed in all generator at the same time. TR is voltage transducer time. It is seen that when TR is

    increased the Eigen values are tilting more and more to the origin. That means the stability is

    decreased when TR is increased. From the table 1 in appendix 5, it can be seen that when TR is

    increased to 0.5s and more than that, then the eigen value lie in right half plane making it unstable.

    Increasing TR means that the AVR is getting slow. It is mentioned in the textbook in 5.5.1.2 (pg 199)that if AVR is slow acting i.e it has large time constant then it may be assumed that following a small

    disturbance the AVR will not react during the transient state and the regulated and unregulated

    systems will behave in a similar manner. It means that if AVR cannot respond when disturbance

    occurs then there is no meaning of keeping AVR, as the system will get unstable as the unregulated

    system.

    4.2.2 Changing Gain constantNow TR is made constant and gain is decreased from KA=200 to KA=10 one by one in all the

    generator and at last in all the generator at the same time. The result of data scanning are plotted in

    appendix 5. Fig 1 and fig 2 represents the gen 1 and gen 2 respectively which shows that when gain is

    decrease from 200 to 50 then eigen values are moving near to origin. If further decreased then eigen

    values are moving away from the origin. While opposite is happening in gen 3 and gen 4. From fig5 in

    appendix 5, it is seen that when KA decrease then stability is decreased by shifting the eigen value to

    the origin but when it is decreased more than 50, then stability increased.

    4.3 TIME DOMAIN ANALYSIS4.3.1 CHANGING TIME CONSTANTTo illustrate more, time domain analysis is done. The figure 1 and figure 2 in appendix 6 below

    represent speed for all the generators by changing TR=0.01 to TR=0.1 s of generator 1 and on all

    generator at same time respectively. This is done by keeping gain KA constant at 200.

    In the table below, Initial value, final value and settling time of the speed response is presented by

    changing TR=0.1 s one by one in all the generator.

    Settling time (s) 41 38 42 41

    Table 7: Initial value, final value and settling time for all generator one by one

    Settling time is the measure of stability. It means the time system takes to come to final value. Stable

    system will have less settling time. In this case TR is increased more than 0.01s. Table5 above shows

    the case for TR=0.01s.If this table7 is compared with table 5, it is seen that if TR of generator 1 and

    generator 2 is increased then the system is decreasing stability. On contrary, if TR of generator 3 and

    4, is increased then system is increasing stability. This result is well matched with eigen value

    analysis done before IN IMPACT OF CHANGING TR. Generator 3 and 4 of area 2 act oppositely to

    generator 1 and 2 of area 1.

    Now, TR of all the generator is changed and the effect is seen which is shown in table 8.

    Increase in TR means AVR is slow so it takes longer time to settle down the disturbance or it is

    relatively becoming less stable. The instability increases with increase in TR. Below is the example

    given the figure 19, when TR=0.5s. The speed response shows that the system is unstable because the

    oscillation is growing.

    Figure 19: speed response for TR=0.5s

    If frequency analysis is also done in this case then eigen values will lie in positive half plane as shown

    in figure 20

    Figure 20: eigen value in positive half plane for TR=0.5s

    4.3.2 CHANGING GAINThe time domain analysis is done. The figure 1 and figure 2 in appendix 7 represent speed for all the

    generators by changing KA=200 to KA=60 of generator 1 and on all generator at same time

    respectively. This is done by keeping gain TR constant at 0.01s.

    Settling time is the measure of stability. It means the time, system takes to come to final value. Stable

    system will have less settling time. In this case KA is decreased less than 200 which is the default .

    table 5 above shows the case for KA=200.If this table 9 is compared with table 5, it is seen that if KA

    of generator 1 and generator 2 is decreased then the system is decreasing stability. On contrary, if KA

    of generator 3 and 4, is decreased then system is incresing stability. This result is well matched with

    eigen value analysis done before that generator of Area 2 act oppositely to generator of Area 1.

    Now, KA of all the generator is changed and the effect is seen which is shown in table 10

    It is seen that from the table that if KA of all the generator is decreased from 200 to 60 then the system

    is decreasing stability by having larger settling time. But if KA is further decreased then instead of

    being unstable the system slowly increases stability. This is exactly the result received from the topic

    IMPACT OF CHANGING KA as shown in figure 5 of appendix 5. Another thing that should is

    noticed here is that when the KA is decreasing then final steady state value is increasing bringing more

    steady state error in the system.

    4.4 PRE AND POST FAULT STEADY STATE VOLTAGE AND REACTIVEPOWER EXCHANGE

    4.4.1 Steady state voltageThe casefault.dynpow consists of three phase short circuit fault occurring at 1s on bus 8 and the fault

    is removed at 1.05s and at the very instant line 1 between bus 8 and bus 9 is removed. Actually there is

    two lines between bus 8 and bus 9. So after the fault if one of the line is removed then obviously, the

    power flowing between area 1 and area 2 is changed. In the following section, the change in voltage

    and reactive power of all the generator bus is analysed. In addition the reactive power exchange

    between bus 8 and bus 9 before and after fault is also studied.

    In this table , before and after fault voltage is studied in all the generator with constant KA=200 and by

    changing TR=0.1s one by one in all generator and on all generator at the same time. It is seen that

    voltage is constant before and after fault. But not much difference is seen in all the five case above. It

    means that pre and post fault voltage is independent of time constant of AVR until the system is

    stable. From the appendix8, FIG 1 it is seen that the system is stable. Obviously there is change in

    settling time by varying TR of the generator but in this section, the concern is not about the stability in

    this section but the concern in the voltage before and after fault by changing TR.

    After fault 11.87 kV 11.60 kV 11.86 kV 11.58 kV

    In this table, before and after fault voltage is studied in all the generator with constant TR. Those

    generator which has reduced KA , has less voltage. And in the last case all the generator has reducedKA, so every generator has reduced voltage level than pre fault voltage. When one of the line is

  • 7/31/2019 Impact of AVR on Stability

    tripped then the impedance of the line is increased so the voltage level of each generator is also

    decreased.

    Here not much difference is seen in five cases. Only the result that can be concluded is that after the

    fault, there is weak tie between Area 1 and Area 2. So to compensate, generator must generate more

    reactive power.

    As it is seen in the section 4.4.1.2 that those generator which has less KA has less voltage it is because

    generator is inducing less reactive power as seen in this section.

    After the fault, line 1 is cut off so the reactive power transfer by the line 1 after the fault is zero. So all

    the power must be exchanged by line 2, which was exchanging the same power as line 1 before fault.

    But not much difference can be made from the five cases because KA is same in all the case.

    Here also after fault , line 2 carries more reactive power than the pre fault condition because line 1 is

    tripped.

    4.5 MORE ADVANCED AVRIn this section more advanced AVR called EXC_TGR is used. It means Thyristor excitor with

    transient gain reduction.

    Figure 21: exc_tgr exciter

    The default value given to us was KA=200 , TR=0.01, TA=1.0, TB=10.0. One of the task is to tune

    the parameters so that stability can be improved.

  • 7/31/2019 Impact of AVR on Stability

    26/44

    TET 4180 Electric Power System Stability

    25

    Before tuning, the default value gives the eigen value as shown in figure 1, time domain analysis in

    figure 2 in appendix 9 and the result of time domain analysis is tabulated in table just below.

    G1 G2 G3 G4

    Settling time 115s 108 133 128

    it is seen that the disturbance takes long time to settle down. It was seen in the previous examples that

    stability can be improved by decreasing TR so in the next step TR is decreased to 0.005s

    4.5.1 KA=200 TR=0.005 TA=1.0 TB=10.0The eigen values, time domain anlaysis is shown in fig 1and fig2 respectively in appendix 10. And the

    result is tabulated in table just below.

    Settling time 109 108 122 123

    Settling time is little bit improved. So in next case TA is decreased from 1 to 0.5s

    4.5.2 KA=200 TR=0.005 TA=0.5s TB=10.0Again the eigen values and time domain analysis is plotted in fig 22 and fig 23 respectively.

    Figure 22: eigen value

    In this case there is huge improvement in stability. The settling time is much lesser which means that

    system comes to stabilise much faster than in previous two cases. But in the fig 22 it is seen that one

    of the eigen value is nearly touching origin. So this must be the point to stop. But further analysis is

    done to confirm this in next section.

    4.5.3 KA=200 TR=0.005 TA=0.5s TB=5.0

    27

    Figure 25: eigen value in postive half plane

    So this case is unstable. So in order to tune this exciter case 4.5.2 is the better option. So the

    parameters for EXC_TGR is chosen as KA=200 TR=0.005 TA=0.5s TB=10.0 in order to tune this

    excitor to improve the stability properties. All the final value is same 1.00056 pu because in all the

    cases KA=200. To improve steady state, high gain is needed. When KA=300 is made but it increased

    settling time to a very large value. Again KA=250 is used but it did not much affected the final value.

    So ultimately, KA is chosen 200. So the parameters chosen is KA=200 TR=0.005 TA=0.5s

    TB=10.0 to tune both steady state and stability properties.

    5 CONCLUSION:Frequency domain analysis and time domain analysis can be done to check the stability. In frequency

    domain, Eigen values indicates if the system is stable or not. For the system to be stable all the eigen

    values must be located in negative half plane. By changing any system parameters, if the eigen values

    are moving away from origin in negative axis, then stability is improved. Among all the eigen values

    only those eigen values whose imaginary part is 0.2-2 Hz is taken because here the concern is only the

    electromechanical mode.

    Linear analysis can be carried out only when the disturbance is small. On increasing inertia constant,

    system is becoming less stable whereas the stability is increased if Damping constant is increased.

    Also if the time constant of AVR is increased system would be less stable. And if the gain of AVR is

    reduced then there is steady state error in the system. Increasing time constant of AVR means it is

    slow acting i.e it has large time constant then it may be assumed that following a small disturbance the

    AVR willnot react during the transient state and the regulated and unregulated systems will behave in

    a similar manner
