Power System Stabilization
Power System Stabilization refers to techniques used to maintain the stability of electrical power systems during disturbances, such as sudden changes in load or generation. These disturbances can lead to oscillations or fluctuations in voltage and frequency, which can affect the reliability of electricity supply. Stabilization methods help ensure that the system can return to a steady state after such events.
One common approach to Power System Stabilization is the use of Power System Stabilizers (PSS), which are devices that add damping to the system's oscillations. By adjusting the output of generators in response to system conditions, PSS helps to enhance the overall stability and performance of the power grid, ensuring a consistent and reliable electricity supply.
