A unified control scheme for power system transient stability enhancement through preventive and emergency control

摘要

In this paper, a unified approach for transient stability enhancement following large disturbance is proposed through preventive or/and emergency control measures. Transient stability-constrained generation rescheduling is proposed as a preventive control strategy with participation of only few generators on the basis of the rotor angle swings. However, if generator rescheduling fails to regain the transient stability of the power system, heuristic real-time transient stability assessment scheme is proposed through synchrophasor measurements. If the system is predicted to be unstable in real-time, emergency control actions like generator tripping and load shedding are proposed with information about their initiation, location, type, and the magnitude. These emergency actions are purely based on the voltage magnitudes and phase angles obtained through phasor measurement units in real-time. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated on IEEE-39 New England test system, and the results obtained are promising. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
