Basic Concepts:
VOLTAGE STABILITY:
Series capacitive compensation can also be used to reduce the series reactive
impedance to minimize the receiving-end voltage variation and the possibility of
voltage collapse.
A simple radial system with feeder line reactance X, series compensating reactance
Xc, and load impedance Z is shown . The "nose point" at each plot given for a specific
compensation level represents the corresponding voltage instability where the
same
radial system with a reactive shunt compensator, supporting the end voltage, is
shown. Clearly, both shunt and series capacitive compensation can effectively
increase the voltage stability limit. Shunt compensation does it by supplying the
reactive load demand and regulating the terminal voltage. Series capacitive
compensation does it.
Frequency Stability:
Refer to the ability of a power system to maintain steady frequency following a significant
imbalance between generation and load .Its depends on the ability to maintain /restore
equilibrium between generation and load.
Modeling for frequency stability analysis involves process or protection not modeled in
conventional in conventional transient stability analysis–such as boiler dynamics, volts/hertz
protection tripping of generator.
