Fundamentals of Power System Stability 5
Ability of a power system to compensate for a power deficit:
1. Inertial reserve (network time constant)
Lost power is compensated by the energy stored in rotating masses of
all generators -> Frequency decreasing
2. Primary reserve:
Lost power is compensated by an increase in production of primary
controlled units. -> Frequency drop partly compensated
3. Secondary reserve:
Lost power is compensated by secondary controlled units. Frequency
and area exchange flows reestablished
4. Re-Dispatch of Generation

Dynamic voltage stability problems are resulting from sudden
increase in reactive power demand of induction machine loads.
-> Consequences: Undervoltage trip of one or several machines,
dynamic voltage collapse
Small synchronous generators consume increased amount of
reactive power after a heavy disturbance -> voltage recovery
problems.
-> Consequences: Slow voltage recovery can lead to undervoltage
trips of own supply -> loss of generation

Small signal stability analysis
Small signal stability is the ability of the power system to maintain
synchronism when subjected to small disturbances.
Disturbance is considered to be small when equation describing the response
can be linearized.
Instability may result as: steady increase in rotor angle (lack of synchronizing
torque) or rotor oscillations of increasing amplitude (lack of damping torque)
