BC Hydro's on-line transient stability assessment (TSA) model development, analysis and post-processing

This paper presents the theoretical background and analytical methods developed for BC Hydro's on-line transient stability assessment (TSA) module. It concentrates on the preprocessing modeling, stability analysis/margin calculation and post processing techniques, the architecture, hardware and implementation are presented in a companion paper. BC Hydro's TSA has been tested with thousands of cases using a large scale detailed basecase derived for on-line analysis, sample tests are presented in this paper. >
