Open Source Software Based Modeling of MEPE Test System for Stability Studies

Abstract

This paper presents an implementation of MEPE test system in Power System Analysis Toolbox (PSAT)—free and open source software. This paper mainly focuses on the application of newly developed hydro turbine and governor model with detailed dynamic power system models on Myanmar national grid because the power system network is largely supplied by hydro power. This paper also demonstrates the rotor angle stability analysis of test system including classical small signal stability and transient stability criteria. Transient stability assessments of national grid test system are carried out through nonlinear time domain simulation by applying both large and small disturbances. Moreover, a statistical t-test is performed to ensure the effective of proposed model to deal with dynamic problem of the power system.
