Abstract

Describing the small signal performance of a multimachine synchronous power system by a set of differential equations of the form [x] = [A] [x] allows standard multivariable control theory to be used in dynamic stability studies. The construction of the [A] matrix for a multimachine power system involves the application of Kron's rotational transformation to the transmission network admittance matrix, and a matrix analysis of the synchronous machines using internal flux linkages as state variables. Once the [A] matrix has been obtained, standard digital computer methods for calculating its eigenvalues are a convenient means of obtaining information on the dynamic stability of the power system.
