Power System Stability:
What does it mean?
A power system at a given operating state is stable if
following a given disturbance or a set of disturbances
following
a
given
disturbance
,
or
a
set
of
disturbances
,
the system state stays within specified bounds and the
system reaches a new stable equilibrium state within a

component (line, generator, etc.) to trip. Voltages and power flows will
not be the same after the disturbance in such a case. Most
disturbances that are considered in stability analyses incur a change

It is important that the final steady state operating equilibrium after the
fault is steady state acceptable. Otherwise protections or control
actions could introduce new disturbances that might influence the

clearly defined for the power system under study.
