Description

The SM PSS1A block implements a single-input PSS1A power system stabilizer (PSS) that maintains rotor angle stability in a synchronous machine (SM) in conformance with IEEE 421.5-2016^[1]. Typically, you use a PSS to enhance the damping of power system oscillations through excitation control.

You can switch between continuous and discrete implementations of the block by using the Sample time (-1 for inherited) parameter. To configure the integrator for continuous time, set the Sample time (-1 for inherited) property to 0. To configure the integrator for discrete time, set the Sample time (-1 for inherited) property to a positive, nonzero value, or to -1 to inherit the sample time from an upstream block.

This diagram illustrates the overall structure of the PSS1A power system stabilizer:

In the diagram:

V_SI is the power system stabilizer input. Commonly used inputs are speed, frequency, or power. For more information, see V_SI.
The Low-Pass Filter (Discrete or Continuous) block can be used to model a transducer, with a time constant T₆.
K_s models the stabilizer gain.
The Washout (Discrete or Continuous) block models a high-pass filter. Here, T₅ is the time constant.
The Second-Order Low-Pass Filter (Discrete or Continuous) block takes into account the low-frequency effects of the high-frequency torsional filters. Here, A₁ and A₂ are the stabilizer denominator constants for the second-order block.
The two Lead-Lag (Discrete or Continuous) blocks models additional dynamics associated with the power system stabilizer, and represent two stages of the lead-lag compensation.

Sample time (-1 for inherited) — Block sample time
`-1` (default) | 0 | positive scalar

Time between consecutive block executions. During execution, the block produces outputs and, if appropriate, updates its internal state. For more information, see What Is Sample Time? and Specify Sample Time.

For inherited discrete-time operation, set the sample time to -1. For discrete-time operation, set the sample time to a positive scalar. For continuous-time operation, set the sample time to 0.
