An Application of Critical Trajectory Method to BCU Problem for Transient Stability Studies.

This paper proposes a new method for obtaining controlling unstable equilibrium point (CUEP) for transient stability analysis in electric power systems. A minimization problem is formulated to attain CUEP by applying the critical trajectory (CTrj) method to the boundary controlling unstable equilibrium point (BCU) method. CTrj method is a unique approach proposed by the authors to obtain critical condition for transient stability problem. The Proposed method simultaneously computes a trajectory on the stability boundary starting from the exit point reaching CUEP. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated through simulations for various systems. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
