Impact of micro hydro power plants on transient stability for the micro grid 20 kV system

Transient stability analysis is conducted to determine the ability of the electric power system in maintaining the operating stability after a major disturbance. The disturbance can be trigger an impact on the stability of the rotor angle, voltage, and system frequency which can cause loss of synchronization. In this paper, the impact of the interconnection of the Tombolo-Pao mini hydro power plant (MHPP) on the stability of the system was analyzed by several scenarios to determine the behavior of system parameters in a 20 kV system interconnection network. This research is an implementation of regulatory provisions relating to the study of the connection to the PLN distribution network through by regulator. Based on the result of simulation study, transient stability of generators at TomboloPao power plant about 0.1 second, will not occur with network configuration according to modeling activation of anti-islanding protection of Tombolo Pao Power Plant which is set by 2 second. The simulation results show that the location of the disturbance in the electric power system has been influenced by the behavior of the power plant (synchronous generator) which can lead to the instability of the micro-hydro connected to the micro-grid system 20 kV.

Transient Stability Simulation of 33 kV Power Grid

An example of Sandakan power grid problem is presented in this paper. Sandakan is a suburb in east coast of Sabah state of Malaysia. Stability problem occurs due to the increase in load demand, lack of generation sources and inadequate supply. The tripping disturbances occur frequently in the network which is contributing to voltage instability. In this paper dynamics stability of 33 kV power grid as related to Sandakan network is analyzed and simulated. The analysis is completed by modelling the network data in Power System Simulation for Engineering (PSS/E) software and simulate the transient stability of generator, exciter and governor during a three phase fault occurs on a far and close distance from a bus, and determine the critical clearing time as well as swing curve of rotor angle. The output values of electrical power, machine speed, rotor angle and bus voltage are observed.

Multi-Index Nonlinear Coordinated Control of TCBR and Hydro-Generator Excitation

As a new FACTS device, thyristor controlled braking resistor (TCBR) is one of the effective devices to enhance transient stability of generator. In this paper, a coordinated controller for TCBR and hydro-generator excitation system with the multi-index nonlinear coordinate control method based differential geometry theory is proposed. By means of Hartman-Grobman theorem, differential geometry multi-index nonlinear control (DGMINC) design method can reassign the closed-loop system eigenvalues of linear approximate system to the nonlinear system via appropriately selecting output function parameter matrix. Therefore, the system can get good control performance. The simulation results show that TCBR and generator excitation system controlled by this coordinate control strategy can decrease the generator acceleration area rapidly when the severe fault occurred and increase deceleration area significantly after the fault is cleared. So that, power system transient stability limitation improved significantly.
