Abstract

This paper describes the initial phase of a long-range research project which aims at the study of the effects of faults on model power systems. For this purpose, it is necessary to develop means of giving small machines transient characteristics similar to those encountered in large machines.

The method of transient stability is discussed in general terms in order to show the assumptions required to make the problem amenable to analysis. As it is the purpose of the project to verify the validity of these assumptions, recourse must be had to the laboratory with tests carried out on a model system.

After showing how the characteristics of small synchronous machines differ from those of large machines, the method by which small machines are given transient characteristics similar to those of large machines will be described.
