The paper presents an approach to design power system transient stability assessment using direct methods for a multi-machine network based on multiple synchronized phasors, measured from Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) and generator parameters. The generator rotor angle was derived from phasor measurements of voltage and current, and generator parameters using direct real-time algorithm. The multi-machine system was reduced to groups denoted Single Machine to Equivalent Bus (SMEB) models and another groups denoted Load Equivalent Bus (LEB) using Parallel Algorithms (PAs). The use of these PAs eliminates the SPMUs at each bus in the system, and it is required number of SPMUs only equals the number of generator buses. So that, the Equal Area Criterion in both rotor angle domain and time domain can be applicable for the SMEBs groups to assess the system stability in real-time. A three phase fault was simulated at test system comprises 2-machine, 8-bus network for validating the novel algorithm. |
