Question: What is swing Equation ?

By: supriya Date: 2012-07-04

Answer: A swing equation describes the dynamic behaviour of the synchronous machine torque angle and rotor speed or it describes the electro-mechanical behaviour of the machine. Equal area criterion, used for finding the critical clearing time, is derived from the swing equation. Please go through Chapter 2 where swing equation is clearly explained.

Question: what is EQUAL AREA CRITERION, CRITICAL CLEARING ANGLE AND TIME FOR TRANSIENT STABILITY.

By: supriya Date: 2012-07-04

Answer: Equal area criterion is derived from swing equation. Equal area criteria states that, when a fault occurs in the system because of which the output electrical power drops then the fault should be cleared within a certain critical time such that the area of acc acceleration in P-Î´ during a fault should be equal to the area of deceleration after the fault been cleared at a critical time so that the torque angle will not swing beyond the maximum permissible limit for stability. Equal area criterion is explained in detail in Chapter 2.

Question: FACTORS AFFECTING TRANSIENT STABILITY ?

By: supriya Date: 2012-07-04

Answer: There are many factors which effect transient stability. The synchronous generator parameters, excitation system, speed governor, power system stabilizer, the network conditions, tap chaning transformer etc. will be effecting transient stability

Question: in case of transient stability, rotor of a synchronous machine attains synchronous speed after a sequence of oscillations when the load is suddenly increased. in case of steady state stability, how does the machine attains synchronous speed after slowing down when the load is gradually increased?

By: Rahul Roy Date: 2012-07-12

Answer: Synchronous generators are provided with speed governors. Since, speed governors are mechanical systems they take certain time to act and hence their effect is not very significant during transients. After transients if the synchronous machine rotor reaches to a speed other than synchronous speed then the speed governor will act and will bring back the rotor speed to synchronous speed. The modelling aspects and characteristics of the speed governor are given in Chapter 4.

Question: when the load on a syn motor is slowly incrsd(steady state stability),it slows down to incrs the load angle to meet the incrsd load.after attaining the new load angl,how does it attain the synchronous speed again?does the machine behave in the same oscillatory way as in case of transient stability?

By: Rahul Roy Date: 2012-07-12

Answer: When the load on a synchronous machine increases suddenly, the rotor of the machine slows down during transients. This is because of mismatch in the input mechanical power and output electrical power in case of synchronous generator and vice versa in case of synchronous motor. However, in steady state the input mechanical power and output electrical power should be equal and in order to enforce this speed governors are used. If the output electrical power requirement is more than the input mechanical power then the rotor speed of the synchronous machine will decrease and this decrease will cause the speed governor to increase the input mechanical power to the generator so as make the input mechanical power exactly equal to output electrical power.
