A novel recursive approach for real-time transient stability assessment based on corrected kinetic energy

Real-time assessment of transient stability is one of the main issues of power system operators in online applications. This paper proposes a novel recursive approach based on corrected kinetic energy which has the capability of real-time assessment and real time computation of transient stability margin in the power system. This approach considers all details of power system by using network preserving model to simulate transient stability. This paper uses a hybrid method based on the new concept of equal area criterion to estimate initial value of critical point of the system and corrected Kinetic Energy Function to estimate high precision value of the critical point. Also, this paper proposes a recursive method which uses large change sensitively (LCS) analysis to correct initial condition point of the system when the topology of system is changed by a disturbance. In order to validate the proposed method, comprehensive case studies have been conducted on IEEE39-bus test system. Comprehensiveness in considering the details, simplicity in implementation and low computational cost are the outstanding features of the proposed approach. Also, simulation results approve that the proposed approach can be used in real-time application without loss of any detail in the transient stability assessment.
