Investigation of the Critical Clearing Time of Power System with Synchronous Machine Model Including Saliency

Abstract

Problem statement: Most of synchronous generator applied in power system is the salient pole type. Most of previous researches use non-salient model to evaluate the critical clearing time. Thus the results of critical clearing time of power system may be error. Approach: Thus this paper investigate the critical clearing time of power system with synchronous machine. The mathematical model of non-salient pole and salient pole synchronous machine model in power system are symmetrically derived. The critical clearing time of both models are tested and compared on various cases. Results: The critical clearing time of the power system with synchronous including saliency is slightly higher that of non saliency model. Conclusion: It is found from simulation results that even swing curve of both models is obviously different. Their critical clearing times are slightly different.
