Figure 70: One machine and infinite bus system
The equal-areas criterion is used to show the effectiveness of a series capacitor for
improvement of first swing transient stability (as shown in figure
71).
In steady state, the mechanical input power to the generator (P
Mech
) is equal to the
electrical output power from the generator (P
E
) and the generator angle is d
0
. If a 3-phase
fault occurs at a point near the machine, the electrical output of the generator reduces to
zero. This means that the speed of the generator increases and the angle difference
