Abstract

During the latter part of 1988, a study was begun to review the dynamic stability performance of Georgia Power Company´s Plant Scherer. The scope of the study was to identify any operating conditions that might contribute to system oscillations and to examine alternative solutions that would control these oscillations. The study was performed in several phases. The authors briefly discuss the study process which utilized two different software packages for the analysis: dynamic stability studies using time-domain software and eigenvalue analysis using frequency-domain software.<>
