Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFTransient stability: Transient stability is the ability of the power system to maintain synchronism when subjected to a severe transient disturbance.
Transient stability of the system can be improved by
- Increasing the system voltage
- Increase in the X/R ratio
- Using high-speed governors on machines
- High-speed circuit breakers help to clear the fault as quickly as possible
- By turbine fast valving
- High-speed excitation
- Use of auto re-closing breakers
- Some of the other ways to improve the transient stability are by employing lightning arresters, high neutral grounding impedance, single pole switching, quick Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVRs).
