Study of power system stability: Matlab program processing data from Zahrani power plant (Beirut, Lebanon)

Abstract

Stability is of great importance in power systems; instability can cause fluctuations in many parameters of a power system. Since the purpose is to keep feeding the load when a fault or disturbance of overload occurs, the main attention will be focused on over-voltage and frequency because they might make a great damage and shutdown the system. In this study, calculations were performed for one machine connected to infinite bus, considering steady state and transient stability using Matlab to achieve a stable system.
