A cost effective, low maintenance generator brake is proposed using recent developments in thick film, metal oxide resistors. The brake has very low resistance, and virtually no inductance, allowing its use during a fault to slow a generator's acceleration. Simulation results using the 39 Bus New England system show that placing brakes at each machine dramatically increases the global stability of a power system.
