Abstract
This paper presents a novel method to identify the fault that would affect the transient stability of one machine to an infinite bus. Here, the swing equation of each machine is expressed in the form of a closed-loop transfer function in Laplace ss-domain. In the transfer function, the duration of the fault and the changes in maximum electrical power output of the machine during and after the fault are considered. Then, the real value of the dominant root of each machine's characteristic equation is identified on the real axis of the s-plane. In this method, the generator has been considered unstable based on the position of the real value of the dominant root in the left half or very close to the imaginary axis or in the right half of the s-plane. The results obtained by the proposed method are compared with those of the conventional step-by-step method on the basis of different fault clearing times, and good agreements have been demonstrated.
