A novel method to compute the stability region in power system transient stability analysis is presented. This method is based on the set analysis. The key to this method is to construct the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs (HJI) partial differential equation (PDE) of a nonlinear system, using which we can compute the backward reachable set by applying the level set methods. The backward reachable set of...

This paper presents a new composite index to analyze power system transient stability. Contingency ranking in power system transient stability is a complicated and time consuming task. To prevail over this difficulty, various indices are used. These indices are based on the concept of coherency, transient energy conversion between kinetic and potential energy and three dot products of the s...

Methods for calculating Available Transfer Capability (ATC) of the transmission systems may be grouped under Static and Dynamic methods. This paper presents a fast dynamic method for ATC calculations, which considers both Transient Stability Limits and Voltage Stability Limits as terminating criteria. A variation of Energy Function Method is used to determine the transient stability limit and t...

− An on-line transient stability emergency control approach is proposed, which couples an open-loop and a closed-loop emergency control technique. The open-loop technique uses on-line transient stability assessment in order to adapt the settings of automatic system protection schemes to the current operating conditions. On the other hand, the closed-loop technique uses measurements in order to ...

Stability is an important constraint in power system operation; the transient stability constrained optimal power flow (TSCOPF) has a considerable attention in recent years. The solution obtained from the conventional optimal power flow (OPF), which considers only the static constraints, does not guarantee transient stability in the system against possible contingencies such as line fault. In t...
