Announcements l Be reading Chapter 10 and 13 – l l Including CH 10 article about zone 3 relays, CH 13 DSA and blackout articles HW 11 is not turned in but should be done before final. HW 11 is 13. 1, 13. 7, 13. 8, 13. 18, and SP 1 Final is Wednesday Dec 12 from 1: 30 to 4: 30 pm in EL 269 (note room change). Final is comprehensive. One new note sheet, and your two old note sheets are allowed 1

In the News: Dallman Accident l Cause of CWLP (Springfield, IL) Dallman generator accident is still under investigation, but after the generator tripped the main turbine steam stop valve did not close. With the generator’s electrical output at zero (i. e. , it was disconnected) the turbine/rotor continued to accelerate up to over 5000 rpm (3600 normal). Then it suddenly stopped. – l 95 MW unit, $60 million to repair damage/replace unit On a more positive note for CWLP their Dallman 4 plant is on schedule for a January 2010 start. 2

2007 Energy Bill l Congress and President Bush are currently discussing an energy bill, with a key sticking point being whether to require investor owned utilities to provide 15% of their electricity from renewables by 2020. – l There is a big difference between 15% of capacity versus 15% of energy from renewables A major issue is lack of wind capacity in the southeast U. S. 5

Transient Stability Analysis l 1. 2. 3. For transient stability analysis we need to consider three systems Prefault - before the fault occurs the system is assumed to be at an equilibrium point Faulted - the fault changes the system equations, moving the system away from its equilibrium point Postfault - after fault is cleared the system hopefully returns to a new operating point 7

Transient Stability Solution Methods l 1. There are two methods for solving the transient stability problem Numerical integration l 2. this is by far the most common technique, particularly for large systems; during the fault and after the fault the power system differential equations are solved using numerical methods Direct or energy methods; for a two bus system this method is known as the equal area criteria l mostly used to provide an intuitive insight into the transient stability problem 8

SMIB Example l Assume a generator is supplying power to an infinite bus through two parallel transmission lines. Then a balanced three phase fault occurs at the terminal of one of the lines. The fault is cleared by the opening of this line’s circuit breakers. 9

SMIB Example, cont’d Simplified prefault system 10

SMIB Example, Faulted System During the fault the system changes The equivalent system during the fault is then During this fault no power can be transferred from the generator to the system 11

SMIB Example, Post Fault System After the fault the system again changes The equivalent system after the fault is then 12

Transient Stability Example l A 60 Hz generator is supplying 550 MW to an infinite bus (with 1. 0 per unit voltage) through two parallel transmission lines. Determine initial angle change for a fault midway down one of the lines. H = 20 seconds, D = 0. 1. Use Dt=0. 01 second. Ea 25

Equal Area Criteria l The goal of the equal area criteria is to try to determine whether a system is stable or not without having to completely integrate the system response. System will be stable after the fault if the Decel Area is greater than the Accel. Area 30
