Abstract Controllable parameters in a power system include generator
terminal voltage, generator input power and network admittances.
These parameters can be controlled to damp
mechanical rotor oscillation in the generators and thereby
improve system transient stability. Explicit equations are
derived in this thesis for the control of these parameters to
introduce damping uniformly throughout a large power system.
These equations are derived on the basis of minimizing a
positive definite error function. Decision functions are
included which inhibit damping action when it leads to system
instability. This method can be used to coordinate the application
of locally based damping techniques. A three-generator
example is presented illustrating the damping method.
