| Sumario: | Real-time transient stability studies are based on voltage angle measures obtained with phasor measurement units (PMUs). A more precise calculation to address transient stability is obtained when using the rotor angles. However, these values are commonly estimated, which leads to possible errors. In this work, the kinetic energy changes in electric machines are used as a criterion for evaluating and correcting transient stability, and to determine the precise time of insertion of a special protection system (SPS). Data from the PMU of the wide-area measurement system (WAMS) are used to construct the SPS. Furthermore, it is assumed that a microcontroller can be located in each generation unit to obtain the synchronized angular velocity. Based on these measurements, the kinetic energy of the system and the respective control action are performed at the appropriate time. The results show that the proposed SPS effectively corrects the oscillations fast enough during the transient stability event. In addition, the proposed method has the advantage that it does not depend on commonly proposed methods, such as system models, the identification of coherent machine groups, or the structure of the network. Moreover, the synchronized angular velocity signal is used, which is not commonly measured in power systems. Validation of the method is carried out in the New England power system, and the findings show that the method is helpful for real-time operation on large power systems. |
