Time domain approach compared with direct method of Lyapunov for transient stability analysis of controlled power system

This paper attempts to study the transient stability of a two machine infinite bus system when affected by large disturbances, by comparison of time domain approach vs. transient energy function. Then the decentralized nonlinear controller is embedded within the power system and simulation results show that the transient stability has been greatly enhanced. Based on the existing transient energy function of uncontrolled power system, the controlled power system has been represented as a forced Hamiltonian system. The Lyapunov function which is suitable for transient stability analysis of this controlled power system has been used for stability assessment. Simulations in different operating points show the enhancement of transient stability of power system with controller in both time domain approach and energy function method.
