Abstract

To enhance the inherent damping of power systems due to generators and loads, a variety of stabilizer configurations can be used for the generators, SVCs and HVDC links. A study is made of how the overall damping matrix is built up from these contributions. This is used to develop a technique for systematic siting of damping equipment in power systems with several poorly damped modes in a given frequency window. This technique is applied to the NORDEL system. Special emphasis is given to handling very large systems, voltage dependent loads and alternative measurement schemes.
