degrees. It can be observed in Figure 112 that the angle reaches 180 degrees when the
complex impedance Z(R, X) crosses the impedance line SE – RE. It then changes the
sign, and continues from -180 degrees to 0 degrees, and so on. Figure 112 shows the
rotor (power) angle and the magnitude of Z(R, X) against time for the case from Figure
111.

In order to be able to fully understand the principles of OOSPPAM, a stable case, that
is, a case where the disturbance does not make a generator to go out-of-step, must be
shown.
