Abstract
In recent times, progress of the art of power system protection has directed much
attention to steady-state stability studies. It is desirable to have constant terminal
voltages at the output of synchronous machines and also to extract the maximum
power possible from a generator without compromising steady-state operation of
the system. It is therefore imperative to check the steady-state stability limit of
synchronous generators.
This paper discusses the dependence of steady state stability limit on the excitation
voltage and the system reactance. It also looks at the effect of damping on the
stability of a power system network. MATLAB software has been used to carry out
the simulations in this study.

Introduction
Several earlier work has been done in the area of steady-state stability and transient
stability of power system networks [Ref].Significant work has also been done in
the area of steady-state stability and its impact on the setting of generator
protection and the coordination of generator protection with generator control and
load capability[Ref].
The paper by (name & date)[1] provided practical guidance about proper
coordination of generator protection and generator AVRcontrol to enhance security
and system stability. A paper byname & date)[[2] developed an algorithm which
specifically ensures the coordination of loss of excitation relays with generator full
load capability and machine steady-state stability limits during normal and
abnormal conditions. The paper byname & date)[[3] provedthe impact of the
excitation system with an automatic voltage regulator (AVR) or a power system
stabilizer (PSS)on the generator stability limits. An earlier work was also done
byname & date)[[4] to describe traditional protection function related tothe
capability curve, such as stator thermal, rotor thermal, motoring, over
voltage,under voltage and loss of field protection.
This paper, however, is to investigate steady state stability limit (SSSL)
dependence on the excitation voltage of synchronous generators and the system
reactance. The study also considered the effect of system damping on the security
of the system. All the simulations were carried out in the MATLAB software
platform.

The system is stable at any value of power less than Pmax , provided < 90 .
the value of for which the steady state stability limit maximum power Pmax ,
occurred is then calculated. With assumed, the transmitted power between the
generator and the infinite bus, the load angle , the generator internal voltage
and the maximum power can all be determined.

The system reactance affects the limit of steady stability power of a synchronous
machine. Decreasing system reactance can raise the steady stability power
limit.Increasing steady-state stability limit by decreasing reactance is
economicaland also effective.
The system reactance can be decrease by:
In practical systems, if enough transmission lines are tripped between the load
center and the remote generation station supplying the load center, the reactance
(X) between these two sources increases to a point where the maximum power
Pmax
During the unstable conditions, generators may slip poles and loses synchronism.
Voltage collapse and steady state instability can occur together as the transmission
lines tripping increase the reactance between the load center and the remote
generation center.

If the synchronizing coefficient is negative, the roots are real and the response of

If the system is operating below the limit of steady stability condition, according to
equation (7), it may continue to oscillate as long as the damping is low. Persistent
oscillations are a threat to system security.
Based on the outline of sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3, MATLAB programs have been
written to analyze the test system with regards to the outline of sections 3.1-3.3.
For case 1 (section 3.1),the steady state stability limit (SSSL) at 47%, 79%, 95%,
98% and 100% of the excitation voltage were determined as depicted in table 1.
The corresponding power-angle curves were plotted. The maximum steady state
stability power limit was calculated to be
Pmax =2.016 pu

0
at a phase angle of =62 and load angle =90 .
If instead, the generator excitation voltage is held fixed at the value of the
generators terminal voltage, the steady state power limit would be
Pmax =0.95 pu .

For case 2 (section 3.2), the system reactance is varied arbitrarily to represent the
tripping ofa double circuit transmission lines which will increase the system
reactance.
The power-angle curve in Fig. 3 illustrates the reduction as line 1 trips, the height
of the power-angle curve and the maximum power transfer is reduced because the
reactance (X) has increased. When line 2 trips, the height of the power-angle curve
is further reduced to the point where the power being transmitted cannot be
maintained and the system becomes unstable with the terminal voltage of the
system dipping critically.

For case 3 (section 3.3), if the system is poorly damped, oscillations resulting from
system perturbations can lead to eventual loss of system stability. To simulate this
effect, a synchronous generator damping coefficient wasvaried and the rotor angle
and frequency response of the systemwere plotted.

It was observed and confirmed that the higher the damping coefficient, the faster
system oscillations decayed

Conclusion
In this paper, an algorithm to simulate the dependence of power system steadystate stability limit on generator excitation voltage as well as the system reactance,
has been developed on the platform of the MATLAB software. For steady-state
operation of the system, persistent oscillations consequent to some form of
perturbations, must be addressed. The paper also considered an algorithm to
simulate the effect of machine damping power coefficient on the stability of power
system.
