Power System Stability Analysis

Stability analysis answers what happens in the seconds after a disturbance: whether generators stay in step, whether motors reaccelerate, and whether the network recovers or collapses. It matters most where you have local generation, large motor loads, or an islanding requirement.

What this covers

  • Transient stability — generator rotor angle and machine synchronism following faults and switching events.
  • Critical clearing time — the maximum fault duration the system can survive, which feeds directly back into protection settings.
  • Voltage stability — recovery behaviour and the risk of voltage collapse under heavy loading.
  • Motor reacceleration — whether motor loads recover after a fault or stall and must be shed.
  • Islanding and load shedding — behaviour on separation from the grid, and the load shedding scheme needed to survive it.
  • Frequency response — governor and generator response to load and generation imbalance.

What you receive

  • Stability study report covering each contingency assessed
  • Time-domain simulation results for rotor angle, voltage and frequency
  • Critical clearing times with protection implications identified
  • Load shedding scheme recommendations where required

Standards and references

Analysis references IEEE 399 and IEEE 1110 for machine modelling, with acceptance criteria taken from the project specification and applicable grid code.
