Description

The SM PSS7C block implements a double-input PSS7C 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 represent two different types of dual-input power system stabilizers with this same model:

  • A stabilizer that uses electrical power and speed (or frequency) signals to calculate the integral of the accelerating power. This make the calculated stabilizer signal insensitive to mechanical changes.

  • A stabilizer that uses a combination of electrical power and either speed or frequency. To achieve the desired stabilizing signal shaping, the system uses the speed directly, without phase-lead compensation, and adds a signal that is proportional to the electrical power.

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 PSS7C power system stabilizer:

In the diagram:

  • V_SI1 and V_SI2 are the two power system stabilizer inputs. Commonly used inputs are speed, frequency, or power.

  • Two Washout (Discrete or Continuous) blocks are represented for each stabilizer input, with time constants TW1 to TW4, along with a transducer, represented by a Low-Pass Filter (Discrete or Continuous), with time constants T6 and T7.

  • To allow a ramp-tracking filter characteristic, the Ramp Tracking Filter subsystem models a network of lead-lag and low-pass filter blocks in series.

  • To provide phase compensation, the Multi-band subsystem implements a canonical state equation, with time constants Ti1 to Ti4 and gains K0 to K4.

  • The PSS output logic subsystem allows the representation of the PSS output logic associated with the generator active power output. PPSSon and PPSSoff are the threshold values used to define a hysteresis.
