Admissibility assessment of external network based on experimental data equivalence method

Performing calculations of steady-state regimes and to determine the cutset grid capacity obtaining initial data is quite easy if you know the voltage class of transmission lines and their lengths. That is why such calculations in the RastrWin software environment give a good match to the results in kind. To ensure the results coincidence of transient processes, a significantly larger amount of data on the elements dynamic properties of the system and the tuning of the control systems is needed. Therefore, calculations provide an opportunity to compare the effectiveness of various excitation systems, but quantitative estimates of the limits of sustainability in nature and the model, as well as the configuration of excitation system often do not coincide. In the Russian Federation, a methodology for the equivalence of the external network of power plants based on experimental data has been developed and is successfully applied in practice. As a result, it becomes possible to promptly perform stability forecast calculations by dispatching personnel and to select the setting of the automatic control system for excitation by operational personnel in the circuit directly during commissioning tests at power plants. This paper describes accuracy and efficiency assessment of this methodology
