This report describes the theoretical background of the small signal stability analysis of power systems as embodied in the two programs MASS (multi-area small signal stability) and PEALS (program for eigenvalue analysis of large systems). These programs form, together with a data base program, a Small Signal Stability Package (SSSP) which can be applied to a broad range of stability programs. MASS is a program which forms the state matrix of an interconnected power system and performs an eigenvalue analysis, using the QR technique, on this matrix. PEALS determines, one at a time, those eigenvalues of the power system associated with the rotor angles of the synchronous machines. The basic algorithm used in PEALS was developed under EPRI RP 744-1. However, the modelling and network solution techniques used in PEALS have been newly developed to ensure complete compatibility with MASS and to enable systems having up to 12,000 bus to be studied. In both MASS and PEALS user defined models for excitation systems and dc controls enable the programs to be applied to a wide range of practical power systems. 3 refs., 38 figs.
