Therefore,
Now, the entire Pm becomes equal to Pa, and the rotor starts
accelerating. Since Pe = 0, the operating point shifts
immediately to point B and due to rotor acceleration, starts
increasing. In time tcr (critical clearing time) when the rotor
angle reaches tocr (critical clearing angle), the circuit-breaker
installed at point F clears the fault by isolating the faulted line.
Upon removal of faulted line, the generator once again starts
transmitting power to the infinite bus. Therefore, the
operating point shifts from C to D instantly. At point D,
since Pe > Pm, the rotor now begins to decelerate and the
decelerating area A2 begins as the operating point moves
along DE.
System is stable as long as A1 A2

Let the transfer reactance during fault be Xdu. Its value can be
obtained by converting star reactances X'd, X1 and X21 into
delta. This is explained in the following figure.
Post fault:
After some duration, the faulty parallel line is removed by
circuit-breakers connected at both ends. The transfer
reactance for this condition Xpo is:

Solution:
1. The p curve for this case is as shown in Figure 9.19.
As the mechanical input is constant before and after Line2 is switched off, the generator generates the same
amount of electrical power output. The initial
equilibrium point is a and the final equilibrium point
is c as shown in the figure.
i.e.,
Or, 1 = 54.77
If stability is of interest, the rotor can swing to a
maximum of max (up to pointf).
At point c and f, the Pe generated is same.
where,
The solution of (t) is obtained at discrete intervals of time
with the interval spread of t remaining uniform throughout.
The change in accelerating power which is a continuous
function of time is described as follows:
1. The accelerating power Pa calculated at the beginning is assumed
to remain constant from the middle of the preceding interval to
the middle of the interval under study (see Figure 9.20(a))
2. The angular rotor velocity (
over and above the synchronous
velocity s, is calculated at the middle of the interval under
study, (see Figure 9.20(b)).

Solution:
Taking the rating of the equipment as base, for base MVA =
50, G = 1.0 p.u
Before fault:
Transfer reactance X = 0.4 p.u
Under steady-state:
During fault:
Transfer reactance X = 1.0 p.u
Post-fault:
Transfer reactance X = 0.6 p.u

and improve the electric power output of generator,
reducing the acceleration of the rotor during the
disturbance period. Thus exciters help to improve the
stability of the system.
