Power Swing Detection and Out-of-Step Prediction Using the Equal Area Criterion
Abstract: During the operating conditions, the modern interconnected power systems are more subjected sudden changes, such as faults, network changes due to line trip outs, and disconnection of a large load or of a generating plant. Such disturbances create power swing among the other generators which forces the remaining generators to adjust and settle to new stable conditions. In some cases, the swings are so large that some generators run out …
