The classic equal-area criterion (EAC) is of key importance in power system analysis, and provides a powerful, pictorial and quantitative means of analysing transient stability (i.e. the system's ability to maintain stable operation when subjected to a large disturbance). Based on the traditional EAC, it is common sense in engineering that there is a critical cleaning time (CCT); namely, a power system is stable (unstable) if a fault is cleared before (after) this CCT. We regard this form of CCT as bipartite. In this paper, we revisit the EAC theory and, surprisingly, find different kinds of transient stability behaviour. Based on these analyses, we discover that the bipartite CCT is only one type among four major types, and, actually, the forms of CCT can be diversified. In particular, under some circumstances, a system may have no CCT or show a periodic CCT. Our theoretical analysis is verified by numerical simulations in a single-machine-infinite-bus system and also in multi-machine systems. Thus, our study provides a panoramic framework for diverse transient stability behaviour in power systems and also may have a significant impact on applications of multi-stability in various other systems, such as neuroscience, climatology or photonics.

The Electrical power system has become vast and more complex, so it is subjected to sudden changes in load levels. Stability is an important concept which determines the stable operation of the power system. Transient stability analysis has become one of the significant studies in the power system to ensure the system stability to withstand a considerable disturbance. The effect of temporary occurrence can lead to malfunction of electronic control equipment. The application of flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices in the transmission system have introduced several changes in the power system. These changes have a significant impact on the power system protection, due to differences inline impedance, line current and voltage. On the distance relaying protection system to identify essential issues that protection engineers need to consider during the stages of design and operation of the protection system. Transient analysis can be conducted using a simulation software package. One of the commercial simulation software package used by industry worldwide is Siemens Power System Simulation for Engineering (PSS/E). The object of this work is to improve the Transient stability and to clear critical fault times of the Kurdistan Region Government (KRG) network by using optimal FACTS devices in different optimal locations under fault conditions.

For transient stability analysis of a multi-machine power system, the Extended Equal Area Criterion (EEAC) method applies the classic Equal Area Criterion (EAC) concept to an approximate One Machine Infinite Bus (OMIB) equivalent of the system to find the critical clearing angle. The system-critical clearing time can then be obtained by numerical integration of OMIB equations. The EEAC method was proposed in the 1980s and 1990s as a substitute for time-domain simulation for Transmission System Operators (TSOs) to provide fast, transient stability analysis with the limited computational power available those days. To ensure the secure operation of the power system, TSOs have to identify and prevent potential critical scenarios through offline analyses of a few dangerous ones. These days, due to increased uncertainties in electrical power systems, the number of these critical scenarios is increasing, substantially, calling for fast, transient stability analysis techniques once more. Among them, the EEAC is a unique approach that provides not only valuable information, but also a graphical representation of system dynamics. This paper revisits the EEAC but from a modern, functional point of view. First, the definition of the OMIB model of a multi-machine power system is redrawn in its general form. To achieve fast, transient stability analysis, EEAC relies on approximate models of the true OMIB model. These approximations are clarified, and the EAC concept is redefined with a general definition for instability, and its conditions. Based on the defined conditions and definitions, functions are developed for each EEAC building block, which are later put out together to provide a full-resolution, functional scheme. This functional scheme not only covers the previous literature on the subject, but also allows to introduce several possible new EEAC approaches and provides a detailed description of their implementation procedure. A number of approaches are applied to the French EHV network, and the approximations are examined.
