The P() curve shows that the
increase of power increases the angle
between the induced voltage and the
terminal voltage.
The power is maximum when =90
0
The further increase of input power
forces the generator out of
synchronism.
The maximum power is the static
stability limit of the system.
Safe operation requires a 15-20%
power reverse.
Stability of Electrical System
Power System Stability denotes the ability of an electric
power system, for a given initial operating condition, to
regain a state of operating equilibrium after being
subjected to a physical disturbance, with all system
variables bounded so that the system integrity is
preserved.
Stability is a condition of equilibrium between opposing
forces.
Instability results when a disturbance leads to a sustained
imbalance between the opposing forces.
