 Continuing PowerWorld
Simulator Example
• Class will make extensive use of PowerWorld Simulator.
If you do not have a copy of v19, the free 42 bus student
version is available for download at
http://www.powerworld.com/gloveroverbyesarma
• Start getting familiar with this package, particularly the
power flow basics. Transient stability aspects will be
covered in class
• Open Example_13_4_WithCLSModelReadyToRun
– Cases are on the class website

 Results: Time Values
Lots of
options
are
available
for
showing
and
filtering
the
results.

By default the results are shown for each time step. Results can be saved
saved every “n” timesteps using an option on the Results Storage Page
4
 Results: Minimum and Maximum
Values

Minimum
and
maximum
values are
available
for all
generators
and buses

5
 Quickly Plotting Results
• Time value results can be quickly plotted by using the
standard case information display plotting capability.
– Right-click on the desired column
– Select Plot Columns
– Use the Column Plot Dialog to customize the results.
– Right-click on the plot to save, copy or print it.
• More comprehensive plotting capability is provided
using the Transient Stability “Plots” page; this will be
discussed later.

Starting the event at t = 1.0 seconds allows for verification of

an initially stable operating point. The small angle oscillation
indicates the system is stable, although undamped.
7
 Changing the Case
• PowerWorld Simulator allows for easy modification of
the study system. As a next example we will duplicate
example 13.4 from earlier editions of the Glover/Sarma
Power System Analysis and Design Book.
• Back on the one-line, right-click on the generator and
use the Stability/Machine models page to change the
Xdp field from 0.2 to 0.3 per unit.
• On the Transient Stability Simulation page, change the
contingency to be a solid three phase fault at Bus 3, cleared
by opening both the line between buses 1 and 3 and the line
between buses 2 and 3 at time = 1.34 seconds.
8
 Changing the Contingency Elements

Change object type to AC Line/Transformer, select the right line,

and change the element type to “Open”.
9
Changing the Contingency Elements

Contingency Elements displays should eventually look like this.

Note fault is at bus 3, not at bus 1.

 A More Realistic Generator Model
• The classical model is consider in section 5.6 of the
book, as the simplest but also the hardest to justify
– Had been widely used, but is not rapidly falling from use
• PowerWorld Simulator includes a number of much more
realistic models that can be easily used
– Coverage of these models is beyond the scope of this intro
• To replace the classical model with a detailed solid
rotor, subtransient model, go to the generator dialog
Machine Models, click “Delete” to delete the existing
model, select “Insert” to display the Model Type dialog
and select the GENROU model; accept the defaults.
12
GENROU Model
The GENROU model
provides a good
approximation for the
behavior of a synchronous
generator over the dynamics
of interest during a
transient stability study
(up to about 10 Hz).
It is used to represent a
solid rotor machine with
three damper windings.

This plot repeats the previous example with the bus 3 fault.
The generator response is now damped due to the damper
windings included in the GENROU model. Case is saved in
examples as Example_13_4_GENROU.

 Saving Results Every n Timesteps
• Before moving on it will be useful to save some
additional fields. On the Transient Stability Analysis
form select the “Result Storage” page. Then on the
Generator tab toggle the generator 4 “Field Voltage”
field to Yes. On the Bus tab toggle the bus 4 “V (pu)”
field to Yes.
• At the top of the “Result Storage” page, change the
“Save Results Every n Timesteps” to 6.
– PowerWorld Simulator allows you to store as many fields as desired. On
large cases one way to save on memory is to save the field values only
every n timesteps with 6 a typical value (i.e., with a ½ cycle time step 6
saves 20 values per second)

15
 Plotting Bus Voltage
• Change the end time to 10 seconds on the “Simulation”
page, and rerun the previous. Then on “Results” page,
“Time Values from RAM”, “Bus”, plot the bus 4 per
unit voltage. The results are shown below.

exciter.
16
 Adding a Generator Exciter
• The purpose of the generator excitation system (exciter)
is to adjust the generator field current to maintain a
constant terminal voltage.
• PowerWorld Simulator includes many different types of
exciter models. One simple exciter is the IEEET1. To
add this exciter to the generator at bus 4 go to the
generator dialog, “Stability” tab, “Exciters” page. Click
Insert and then select IEEET1 from the list. Use the
default values.
• Exciters will be covered in the first part of Chapter 4

17
 IEEET1 Exciter
• Once you have inserted the IEEET1 exciter you can
view its block diagram by clicking on the “Show
Diagram” button. This opens a PDF file in Adobe
Reader to the page with that block diagram. The block
diagram for this exciter is also shown below.

The input to the exciter,

Ec,is usually the terminal
voltage. The output,
EFD, is the machine field
voltage.

18
 Voltage Response with Exciter
• Re-do the run. The terminal time response of the
terminal voltage is shown below. Notice that now with
the exciter it returns to its pre-fault voltage.

 Defining Plots
• Because time plots are commonly used to show
transient stability results, PowerWorld Simulator makes
it easy to define commonly used plots.
– Plot definitions are saved with the case, and can be set to
automatically display at the end of a transient stability run.
• To define some plots on the Transient Stability
Analysis form select the “Plots” page. Initially we’ll
setup a plot to show the bus voltage.
– Use the Plot Designer to choose a Device Type (Bus), Field,
(Vpu), and an Object (Bus 4). Then click the “Add” button.
Next click on the Plot Series tab (far right) to customize the
plot’s appearance; set Color to black and Thickness to 2.

 Adding Multiple Axes
• Once the plot is designed, save the case and rerun the
simulation. The plot should now automatically appear.
• In order to compare the time behavior of various fields
an important feature is the ability to show different
values using different y-axes on the same plot.
• To add a new Vertical Axis to the plot, close the plot, go back to
the “Plots” page, select the Vertical Axis tab (immediately to the
left of the Plot Series tab). Then click “Add Axis Group”. Next,
change the Device Type to Generator, the Field to Rotor Angle,
and choose the Bus 4 generator as the Object. Click the “Add”
button. Customize as desired. There are now two axis groups.

22
 A Two Axes Plot
• The resultant plot is shown below. To copy the plot to
the windows clipboard, or to save the plot, right click
towards the bottom of the plot. You can re-do the plot
without re-running the simulation by clicking on
“Generate Selected Plots” button.

 Setting the Angle Reference
• Infinite buses do not exist, and should not usually be
used except for small, academic cases.
– An infinite bus has a fixed frequency (e.g. 60 Hz), providing a
convenient reference frame for the display of bus angles.
• Without an infinite bus the overall system frequency is
allowed to deviate from the base frequency
– With a varying frequency we need to define a reference frame
– PowerWorld Simulator provides several reference frames with the default
being average of bus frequency.
– Go to the “Options”, “Power System Model” page. Change Infinite Bus
Model to “No Infinite Buses”; Under “Options, Result Options”, set the
Angle Reference to “Average of Generator Angles.”

24
 Setting Models for the Bus 2 Gen
• Without an infinite bus we need to set up models for the
generator at bus 2. Use the same procedure as before,
adding a GENROU machine and an IEEET1 exciter.
– Accept all the defaults, except set the H field for the GENROU
model to 30 to simulate a large machine.
– Go to the Plot Designer, click on PlotVertAxisGroup2 and use the
“Add” button to show the rotor angle for Generator 2. Note that the
object may be grayed out but you can still add it to the plot.
– Without an infinite bus the case is no longer stable with a 0.34
second fault; on the main Simulation page change the event time
for the opening on the lines to be 1.10 seconds (you can directly
overwrite the seconds field on the display).
– Case is saved as Example_13_4_NoInfiniteBus

WSCC Nine Bus, Three Machine Case
• As a next step in complexity we consider the WSCC
(now WECC) nine bus case, three machine case.
– This case is described in several locations including EPRI
Report EL-484 (1977), the Anderson/Fouad book (1977).
Here we use the case as presented as Example 7.1 in the
Sauer/Pai text except the generators are modeled using the
subtransient GENROU model, and data is in per unit on
generator MVA base (see next slide).
– The Sauer/Pai book contains a derivation of the system
models, and a fully worked initial solution for this case.
• Case Name: WSCC_9Bus

27
 Generator MVA Base
• Like most transient stability programs, generator
transient stability data in PowerWorld Simulator is
entered in per unit using the generator MVA base.
• The generator MVA base can be modified in the “Edit
Mode” (upper left portion of the ribbon), using the
Generator Information Dialog. You will see the MVA
Base in “Run Mode” but not be able to modify it.

 Automatic Generator Tripping
Sometimes unseen errors may lurk in a simulation!

Because this case has no governors and no infinite bus, the bus
frequency keeps rising throughout the simulation, even though the
rotor angles are stable. Users may set the generators to automatically
trip in “Options”, “Generic Limit Monitors”.
30
 Generator Governors
• Governors are used to control the generator power
outputs, helping the maintain a desired frequency
• Covered in sections 4.4 and 4.5
• As was the case with machine models and exciters,
governors can be entered using the Generator Dialog.
• Add TGOV1 models for all three generators using the
default values.

31
 Additional WSCC Case Changes
• Use the “Add Plot” button on the plot designer to insert
new plots to show 1) the generator speeds, and 2) the
generator mechanical input power.
• Change contingency to be the opening of the bus 3
generator at time t=1 second. There is no “fault” to be
cleared in this example, the only event is opening the
generator. Run case for 20 seconds.
• Case Name: WSCC_9Bus_WithGovernors

The left figure shows the generator speed, while the right figure
shows the generator mechanical power inputs for the loss of
generator 3. This is a severe contingency since more than 25% of
the system generation is lost, resulting in a frequency dip of almost
one Hz. Notice frequency does not return to 60 Hz.

The slower hydro governors now result in a much more severe

frequency dip of more than 1.5 Hz. Of course in actual operation this
frequency decline may have been interrupted by the action of
under-frequency relays (which can be modeled in Simulator but this
example does not meet the specified criteria of 58.2 Hz).

38
 Load Modeling
• The load model used in transient stability can have a
significant impact on the results
• By default PowerWorld uses constant impedance models
but makes it very easy to add more complex loads.
• The default (global) models are specified on the Options,
Power System Model page.
These models
are used only
when no other
models are
specified.

39
 Load Modeling
• More detailed models are added by selecting “Stability
Case Info” from the ribbon, then Case Information,
Load Characteristics Models.
• Models can be specified for the entire case (system), or
individual areas, zones, owners, buses or loads.
• To insert a load model click right click and select insert
to display the Load Characteristic Information dialog.
Right click
here to get
local menu and
select insert.
40
 Dynamic Load Models
• Loads can either be static or dynamic, with dynamic
models often used to represent induction motors
• Some load models include a mixture of different types
of loads; one example is the CLOD model represents a
mixture of static and dynamic models
• Loads models/changed in PowerWorld using the Load
Characteristic Information Dialog
• Next slide shows voltage results for static versus
dynamic load models
• Case Name: WSCC_9Bus_Load

 Under-Voltage Motor Tripping
• In the PowerWorld CLOD model, under-voltage motor
tripping may be set by the following parameters
– Vi = voltage at which trip will occur (default = 0.75 pu)
– Ti (cycles) = length of time voltage needs to be below Vi
before trip will occur (default = 60 cycles, or 1 second)
• In this example as you move the clearing time from
0.033 up to 0.040, you will see the motors tripping out
on buses 5, 6, and 8 (the load buses) – this is especially
visible on the bus voltages plot. These trips allow the
clearing time to be a bit longer than would otherwise be
the case.
• Set Vi = 0 in this model to turn off motor tripping.

 37 Bus System
• Next we consider a slightly larger, 9 generator, 37 bus
system. To view this system open case GSO_37Bus.
The system one-line is shown below.
