Multimachine system transient stability improvement using transient power system stabilizers (TPSS)

Journal Article · · IEEE Trans. Power Electronics; (United States)

Power system stabilizers (PSS) have been designed and installed to improve the dynamic (small signal) response of multimachine systems. This paper presents the theory and test results for improving the transient (large disturbance) behaviour of a multimachine system by supplementing the conventional PSS with a transient power system stabilizer (TPSS). Each generator unit is fitted with a TPSS which, after computation, injects supplementary control signals into both the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) and speed governor control loops.
