7 Dynamic security assessment Operating point A : very insecure several single contingencies cause instability even some transient angle instability cases 7 Operating point B : secure the system can stand a 5-cyle (0.1 s) fault on any line, cleared by tripping the line the system can stand the outage of any single generator Criteria used in long-term dynamic simulation all distribution voltages restored into their deadband by Load Tap Changers ( all load powers restored) no loss of synchronism no generator has its terminal voltage settling below 0.85 pu

21 The fact that load power passes through a maximum gives an indication of the impending instability. 21 This can be identified through a change of sign of sensitivities. In this example sensitivities of total reactive power generation to various load reactive powers.

23 23 Example of PV curves A slow load increase in the Central area is simulated : the P o and Q o coefficients of the loads are linearly increased with time since the load increase is slow, the operator reaction is simulated : the ratios of the transformers and are adjusted to keep the voltages at buses 1044 and 1045 in a dead-band the system response is determined at selected transmission buses, the voltage is plotted as a function of the total load power i P oi ( V i V oi ) α i in the Central area

25 25 Secure Operation Limit (SOL) An SOL corresponds to the maximum «stress» that can be accepted in the pre-contingency configuration such that the system responds in a stable way to each of the specified contingencies stress = increase of load power in Central area tools : power flow computations for various values of Central area load long-term dynamic simulations to assess the system response to each contingency
