The digital computer is the only practical way to determine the stability of a large
system.Digital computer programs for stability studies have evolved from two basic needs:
(a) the requirement to study very large interconnected systems with many machines and
(b) the need to represent machines and their associated control systems by more detailed
models.
In computer system, there can be solved with the two sets of equations wrt power
stability studies must solved simultaneously for each interval following the occurrence of a
system disturbance.One set consists of the algebraic equations relating the steady-state behavior
of the network and its loads and the algebraic equations relating V and E of the synchronous
machines. The other set consists of the differential equations which describe the dynamic
performance of the machines and associated control system.
The following methods are used to determine the power system stability programs:
However, each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages associated with
numerical stability, time-step size, computational effort per integration step, and accuracy of
solutions obtained.
Let introduce to the most appliable digital computer programs for power system
stability.These are Mathlab, Neplan and Simpow program softwares which are used for
simulation of power systems.

The following link is to see video tutorial for using neplan software for determination of
power system stability.
The following further studies will help the students to understand the power system
stability analysis with digital computer programs.Note that, the students need to study the use of
programs and the theoritical ideas and concepts of power system stability. They need to find out
more details of power system stability courses with references and practical experiments. If they
want to study more, they must try hard the best to become skillful electrical engineers.
