Kundur power system
This model implements a typical power system described in Kundur’s book [20]. The electromagnetic transient type of simulation made in RT�LAB enables the study of fast and detailed phenomena like single-phase faults in the network and to observe their effects on a larger time scale (i.e., on the electromechanical scale, as with inter-area power oscillations).
The Kundur power system consists of 2 fully symmetrical areas linked together by two 230 kV lines of 220 km length. It was specifically designed in [20][21] to study low-frequency electromechanical oscillations in large interconnected power systems. Despite its small size, it mimics very closely the behavior of typical systems in actual operation.
Three phase grounding fault at midpoint of one bus, and small signal analysis can be applied to this model. Other phenomena, such as low-frequency electromechanical oscillations, power system stabilizer (PSS) characteristics, can be study and validate with this model.
