AC System Oscillations
•Can be power (MW) or reactive (MVAR) swings
Note: Real MW and real MVAR transfer takes place
•Inter area
- large generating centres linked by relatively weak
transmission ties (POWER & REACTIVE TRANSFER)
•Local mode
- e.g. single AC generator linked by a high reactance
transmission line (POWER & REACTIVE TRANSFER)
•Intra plant
- 2 or more local AC generators having AVR’s that over-
react with each other. (REACTIVE TRANSFER)
