are provided to discuss whether the instability in Fig. 10 occurs in the corresponding real power system. First, the classical model with constant voltage behind impedance is used for first swing criterion of transient stability [1]. This is because second and multi swings may be affected by voltage fluctuations, damping effects, controllers such as AVR, PSS, and governor. Second, the fault durations, which we fixed at 20 cycles, are normally less than 10 cycles. Last, the load condition used above is different from the original one in [11]. We cannot hence argue that global instability occurs in the real system. Analysis, however, does show a possibility of global instability in real power systems.

The parameters fs , Hi , Pmi , Di , Ei , Gii , Gij , and Bij are in per unit system except for Hi and Di in second, and for fs in Helz. The mechanical input power Pmi to generator i and the magnitude Ei of internal voltage in generator i are assumed to be constant for transient stability studies [1], [2]. Hi is the inertia constant of generator i, Di its damping coefficient, and they are constant. Gii is the internal conductance, and Gij + jBij the transfer impedance between generators i and j; They are the parameters which change with network topology changes. Note that electrical loads in the test system are modeled as passive impedance [11].

B. Numerical Experiment Coupled swing dynamics of 10 generators in the test system are simulated. Ei and the initial condition ( i (0), i (0) = 0) for generator i are fixed through power flow calculation. Hi is fixed at the original values in [11]. Pmi and constant power loads are assumed to be 50% at their ratings [22]. The damping Di is 0.005 s for all generators. Gii , Gij , and Bij are also based on the original line data in [11] and the power flow calculation. It is assumed that the test system is in a steady operating condition at t = 0 s, that a line-to-ground fault occurs at point F near bus 16 at t = 1 s 20/(60 Hz), and that line 16–17 trips at t = 1 s. The fault duration is 20 cycles of a 60-Hz sine wave. The fault is simulated by adding a small impedance (10 7 j) between bus 16 and ground. Fig. 10 shows coupled swings of rotor angle i in the test system. The figure indicates that all rotor angles start to grow coherently at about 8 s. The coherent growing is global instability. 27

A. Internal Resonance as Another Mechanism Inspired by [12], we here describe the global instability with dynamical systems theory close to internal resonance [23], [24]. Consider collective dynamics in the system (5). For the system (5) with small parameters pm and b, the set {( , ) 2 S 1 R | = 0} of states in the phase plane is called resonant surface [23], and its neighborhood resonant band. The phase plane is decomposed into the two parts: resonant band and high-energy zone outside of it. Here the initial conditions of local and mode disturbances in Sec. II indeed exist inside the resonant band. The collective motion before the onset of coherent growing is trapped near the resonant band. On the other hand, after the coherent growing, it escapes from the resonant band as shown in Figs. 3(b), 4(b), 5, and 8(b) and (c). The trapped motion is almost integrable and is regarded as a captured state in resonance [23]. At a moment, the integrable motion may be interrupted by small kicks that happen during the resonant band. That is, the so-called release from resonance [23] happens, and the collective motion crosses the homoclinic orbit in Figs. 3(b), 4(b), 5, and 8(b) and (c), and hence it goes away from the resonant band. It is therefore said that global instability 27

The mechanical input power Pmi to generator i and the magnitude Ei of internal voltage in generator i are assumed to be constant for transient stability studies [1], [2]. Hi is the inertia constant of generator i, Di its damping coefficient, and they are constant. Gii is the internal conductance, and Gij + jBij the transfer impedance between generators i and j; They are the parameters which change with network topology changes. Note that electrical loads in the test system are modeled as passive impedance [11].
