Title: Long-term power-system dynamics, Phase III. Volume 1. Analysis of capability to simulate disturbances. Final report. [Using LOTDYS computer code]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5344518

This final report describes work performed on long-term power system dynamics. The objectives of the research project were: to extend the work already completed for EPRI by testing the Long-Term Dynamic Simulation Program, LOTDYS, in the analysis of several power system disturbances; to document LOTDYS for utility use; to examine the sensitivity of long-term dynamic analyses to data and model changes; to identify and evaluate alternate measures for improving the capability of power systems to withstand cascading failures; to provide guidelines for data for long-term dynamics analyses; and to assist the University of Tennessee in developing a pressurized water reactor power plant model. The principal efforts of the project were in conduct of simulation studies of four power system incidents, chosen to span the range of major system emergency conditions. The topical reports of these studies are included. Generally, it was concluded that long-term studies may be usefully made, and that data pose the greatest difficulty in these analyses. Specific conclusions and recommendations regarding data needs, modeling, and conduct of studies are presented.
