An Investigation Of Inertia Constant In Single Generator On Transient Analysis For An Isolated Electrical Network System

An isolated electrical network which fed by an independent generator for a low voltage system is considerable in remote and islandic areas. Although the network system has less complexity in term of system structure, its stability level is crucial due to frequency dynamical responses. An influence of initial stability margin on frequency stability study during contingency situation is a thing rather than being ignored. Here the initial transient response inherently delivers important info such as system inertia and momentarily power deficit. In this paper, an investigation of transient stability responses under different inertia values is carried out. The investigation is carried out by modelling the isolated system in MATLAB/Simulink environment which consists of state-space mathematical equations. It is confirmed that the generator system inertia shapes the initial slope, speed droop and oscillation. For a verification purpose, the influence of system inertia is also analyzed using bode diagram in which system gain and frequency margin are evaluated
