Module 2 : Equipment and Stability Constraints in System Operation
Lecture 8 : Large disturbance Angle stability
 
   Recap
   In this lecture you have learnt the following


AC systems face an inherent angular stability problem: Synchronous machines lose synchronism with each other when subjected to large disturbances
   
System operators avoid the angular stability problem by operating the system conservatively
   


Operating conservatively implies that power flow in long ac transmission is severely curtailed due to angular stability constraints. HVDC transmission is an option for transmitting bulk power over large distances
