Abstract: - The paper deals with the issue of dynamic stability of synchronous generator, in the first part are
described the indicators of dynamic stability and basic principles of the solution. The second part contains the
results of dynamic simulations analysis of selected events which are compared in terms of the significance of
their impact on the synchronous generator dynamic stability.

5.5 3-phase Short Circuit on Power Line V1
with Failure of Circuit Breakers QM1, QM2
The simulation of dynamic stability was focused on
monitoring of generator behavior during the 3-phase
bus bar short circuit in the substation with three
circuit breakers per two branches (Fig.9).
The circuit breaker failure on both sides of the line
belongs among very low probability events but the
dynamic simulations have to be verified anyway.

as the one above, but in fact it is significantly

tripping times change will also strongly change an

Finally, the simulation confirms this fact.
Equally as the situation above, the line is
protected by distance protections. The short circuit
arose in the protected zone of distance protection on Fig.14 Behavior of the synchronous generator after
